Speaker 1: very excited to chat with all of you about everything

8
00:00:41,137 --> 00:00:44,737
Speaker 1: that's going on. We have, for example, this fight playing

9
00:00:44,737 --> 00:00:48,657
Speaker 1: out on the floor of Congress right now with who

10
00:00:48,697 --> 00:00:50,337
Speaker 1: will be the next Speaker of the House. We will

11
00:00:50,377 --> 00:00:55,017
Speaker 1: discuss that, plus more and more people recognizing that the

12
00:00:55,177 --> 00:00:58,697
Speaker 1: COVID vaccine shots or whatever you want to call them,

13
00:00:58,737 --> 00:01:02,657
Speaker 1: not working as planned, and the DeSantis inauguration. I'm here

14
00:01:02,697 --> 00:01:07,097
Speaker 1: today in Tallahassee, Florida, which is why you're not seeing

15
00:01:07,177 --> 00:01:10,537
Speaker 1: video of the show up on the Rumble channel. But

16
00:01:10,977 --> 00:01:14,977
Speaker 1: it's a very happy day here in Tallahassee as descantists

17
00:01:15,057 --> 00:01:18,617
Speaker 1: gets ready for four more years as governor. Will discuss that,

18
00:01:18,777 --> 00:01:21,177
Speaker 1: my friends, and so much more, maybe some New Year's

19
00:01:21,217 --> 00:01:24,097
Speaker 1: resolutions and other things coming up here in just a second.

20
00:01:24,897 --> 00:01:26,697
Speaker 1: There's no better time than the new year to protect

21
00:01:26,777 --> 00:01:29,617
Speaker 1: your identity and your finances. Identity thieves can take out

22
00:01:29,617 --> 00:01:31,977
Speaker 1: loans in your name, takeover and drain your bank and

23
00:01:32,017 --> 00:01:34,657
Speaker 1: investment accounts in more. And you know, it's so dangerously

24
00:01:34,737 --> 00:01:37,217
Speaker 1: easy for the bad guys to make you a victim

25
00:01:37,217 --> 00:01:40,857
Speaker 1: of identity theft. But LifeLock makes it easy to help

26
00:01:40,897 --> 00:01:44,217
Speaker 1: protect your identity and your financial future. LifeLock monitors your

27
00:01:44,217 --> 00:01:47,097
Speaker 1: accounts and credit detects potential identity threats you may miss

28
00:01:47,137 --> 00:01:49,057
Speaker 1: on your own, and I've had to rely on LifeLock

29
00:01:49,097 --> 00:01:52,257
Speaker 1: many times in the past. I've gotten countless notifications from them,

30
00:01:52,897 --> 00:01:55,857
Speaker 1: and I've even had to work with a LifeLock identity

31
00:01:56,137 --> 00:02:00,137
Speaker 1: theft restoration specialist because stuff happens and they fixed it.

32

Speaker 1: com slash buck Man first show of the new year.

42
00:02:30,457 --> 00:02:33,057
Speaker 1: I've got such big plans here in twenty twenty three

43
00:02:33,137 --> 00:02:36,657
Speaker 1: for the Buck Sexton Show, the expanded version of a

44
00:02:36,897 --> 00:02:42,097
Speaker 1: video and having guests on this longer form, interviews with guests,

45
00:02:42,137 --> 00:02:45,217
Speaker 1: all that. But today, because I'm in Tallahassee, we're not

46
00:02:45,337 --> 00:02:49,657
Speaker 1: quite doing the two point zero version of the Buck

47
00:02:49,697 --> 00:02:53,377
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. But because I'm in Tallahassee at the Desantists

48
00:02:53,497 --> 00:02:57,697
Speaker 1: inauguration celebration, I thought I would speak a little bit

49
00:02:57,737 --> 00:03:02,177
Speaker 1: about what this has meant, what Florida means going forward.

50
00:03:03,257 --> 00:03:08,057
Speaker 1: For anybody that feels like it is impossible, that the

51
00:03:08,177 --> 00:03:11,297
Speaker 1: Commies are winning, that there's nothing that we can do

52
00:03:11,377 --> 00:03:15,537
Speaker 1: to win back the culture, that politics is pointless, remember

53
00:03:15,617 --> 00:03:20,977
Speaker 1: that the states are supposed to be laboratories of what

54
00:03:21,017 --> 00:03:23,817
Speaker 1: our Republic can achieve at the national level. The states

55
00:03:23,817 --> 00:03:29,177
Speaker 1: are the proving grounds their areas yes of constitutionally declared

56
00:03:30,257 --> 00:03:34,657
Speaker 1: autonomy in many matters, in most matters, but they also

57
00:03:34,857 --> 00:03:38,137
Speaker 1: show people what happens as different policies play out. So

58
00:03:38,217 --> 00:03:42,737
Speaker 1: you have the experiment of each and every state and

59
00:03:42,817 --> 00:03:45,417
Speaker 1: the results that are produces. Why does that matter so much?

60
00:03:46,017 --> 00:03:48,137
Speaker 1: You just look at what's happening in Florida and for

61
00:03:48,177 --> 00:03:52,577
Speaker 1: the rest of the nation. I would say, one, don't despair.

62
00:03:52,617 --> 00:03:55,017
Speaker 1: If you live in New York or California, you can

63
00:03:55,057 --> 00:03:58,377
Speaker 1: always consider moving to another state. But even if you can't,

64
00:03:59,017 --> 00:04:02,697
Speaker 1: it got pretty close in New York and in California.

65
00:04:02,777 --> 00:04:05,297
Speaker 1: I think there will be a turning point at some

66
00:04:05,417 --> 00:04:08,937
Speaker 1: point in the future. But you do want to ask

67
00:04:08,977 --> 00:04:12,417
Speaker 1: yourself questions, why is it that New York, for example,

68
00:04:12,457 --> 00:04:16,657
Speaker 1: New York State has fewer people but double the state

69
00:04:16,657 --> 00:04:19,777
Speaker 1: budget of the state of Florida. What are you really

70
00:04:19,857 --> 00:04:22,297
Speaker 1: getting as a New Yorker for that? And the answer

71
00:04:22,377 --> 00:04:29,657
Speaker 1: is a massive, massive welfare state and a massive bureaucracy

72
00:04:29,697 --> 00:04:32,697
Speaker 1: that is largely funded to administer that welfare state in

73
00:04:32,697 --> 00:04:36,377
Speaker 1: one form or another. That's it. Do you want that?

74
00:04:36,457 --> 00:04:38,217
Speaker 1: Do you want your state taxes to go to that?

75
00:04:38,777 --> 00:04:42,057
Speaker 1: What happens when you have leadership as they do here

76
00:04:42,097 --> 00:04:48,057
Speaker 1: in Florida that pursues sensible policy goals, that tries to

77
00:04:48,177 --> 00:04:52,697
Speaker 1: just get things done that make people's lives easier, that

78
00:04:52,737 --> 00:04:56,497
Speaker 1: make their life day to day a little better. Well,

79
00:04:56,657 --> 00:05:00,217
Speaker 1: we see those results and keeping Florida open during the pandemic,

80
00:05:01,177 --> 00:05:05,057
Speaker 1: being the most open state, which was clearly without any

81
00:05:05,097 --> 00:05:08,337
Speaker 1: doubt with the right decision, and so few states unfortunately

82
00:05:08,417 --> 00:05:11,017
Speaker 1: made it. That required a lot political courage. But we

83
00:05:11,057 --> 00:05:14,617
Speaker 1: also see this with the war on wokeness, which is

84
00:05:14,657 --> 00:05:18,817
Speaker 1: really just a war on a new version of the

85
00:05:18,857 --> 00:05:23,417
Speaker 1: communist ethos that has destroyed so many countries. That's something

86
00:05:23,417 --> 00:05:25,137
Speaker 1: that you can do at the state level, state and

87
00:05:25,137 --> 00:05:28,417
Speaker 1: local matters, state and local matters, and I think Florida

88
00:05:28,657 --> 00:05:32,017
Speaker 1: is a really important reminder of that. And also in

89
00:05:32,057 --> 00:05:34,897
Speaker 1: terms of having a strategy. You know, I'm thinking about

90
00:05:34,977 --> 00:05:38,817
Speaker 1: what can be accomplished in this new year for me personally,

91
00:05:38,857 --> 00:05:42,257
Speaker 1: and I've really I've thought about this a lot. Cutting

92
00:05:42,257 --> 00:05:47,497
Speaker 1: down drinking was easy. I'm not anti having a drink ever,

93
00:05:47,537 --> 00:05:50,057
Speaker 1: because I will have wine or really I just drink

94
00:05:50,097 --> 00:05:53,177
Speaker 1: wine and tequila. I'll drink those two things. But I've

95
00:05:53,217 --> 00:05:56,097
Speaker 1: cut it down to the point where it is I

96
00:05:56,217 --> 00:05:58,537
Speaker 1: drink about as frequently as I have you know, cake

97
00:05:58,977 --> 00:06:01,137
Speaker 1: or something like that, so you know you're not having

98
00:06:01,217 --> 00:06:02,857
Speaker 1: cake every day. I'm certainly a drinking every day. I

99
00:06:02,857 --> 00:06:04,537
Speaker 1: probably have cake once or twice a month, and that's

100
00:06:04,537 --> 00:06:06,737
Speaker 1: probably where I am on the drinking front, and I

101
00:06:06,737 --> 00:06:08,497
Speaker 1: really only have one or two. Now, I don't say

102
00:06:08,497 --> 00:06:10,257
Speaker 1: this to judge. I just say that it was easy

103
00:06:10,337 --> 00:06:13,177
Speaker 1: for me to make the choice to cut it back

104
00:06:13,297 --> 00:06:16,257
Speaker 1: and to do so. But man, if twenty twenty three

105
00:06:16,337 --> 00:06:21,937
Speaker 1: we're talking resolutions cutting back on my sugar intake, I'm

106
00:06:21,977 --> 00:06:23,857
Speaker 1: sure a lot of you have the same feeling. Cutting

107
00:06:23,857 --> 00:06:28,097
Speaker 1: back on sugar is so hard to do, and a

108
00:06:28,097 --> 00:06:30,417
Speaker 1: lot of people think that it's not hard. Have never

109
00:06:30,457 --> 00:06:34,497
Speaker 1: actually really done the math and looked at how much

110
00:06:34,537 --> 00:06:37,537
Speaker 1: stuff has a lot of sugar. You have some really

111
00:06:37,577 --> 00:06:41,297
Speaker 1: delicious beef jerky. Some beef jerky's got twenty grams of

112
00:06:41,297 --> 00:06:45,337
Speaker 1: sugar in it. You have some ketchup loaded with sugar.

113
00:06:45,497 --> 00:06:49,897
Speaker 1: You things that you would not anticipate. Fruit juice, don't

114
00:06:49,897 --> 00:06:52,737
Speaker 1: even get me started. Might as well have a Coca cola, right.

115
00:06:52,777 --> 00:06:55,057
Speaker 1: Fruit juice very different from fruit in the way it

116
00:06:55,177 --> 00:06:58,297
Speaker 1: enters your body and your bloodstream because of the fiber

117
00:06:58,377 --> 00:07:00,977
Speaker 1: content of fruit. Eating fruit is great, all about that,

118
00:07:01,137 --> 00:07:03,137
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna allow myself to eat plenty of fruit.

119
00:07:03,617 --> 00:07:07,457
Speaker 1: But drinking straight orange juice, for example, a lot of

120
00:07:07,497 --> 00:07:10,897
Speaker 1: sugar in these things. And it's it's interesting that there

121
00:07:10,937 --> 00:07:13,017
Speaker 1: still seems to be some debate as whether your body

122
00:07:13,057 --> 00:07:16,617
Speaker 1: can develop a degree of addiction to sugar. So I

123
00:07:16,697 --> 00:07:19,937
Speaker 1: don't have. There are no other addictions that I struggle with.

124
00:07:19,977 --> 00:07:21,737
Speaker 1: I'm very fortunate in that sense. But if I had

125
00:07:21,737 --> 00:07:25,097
Speaker 1: to pick one thing, and if twenty twenty three is

126
00:07:25,137 --> 00:07:28,657
Speaker 1: a year for improving oneself, there's a lot of things

127
00:07:28,697 --> 00:07:31,737
Speaker 1: that I want to do. Watch even less television of

128
00:07:31,777 --> 00:07:34,777
Speaker 1: any kind than I do, read more, sleep more, work

129
00:07:34,777 --> 00:07:38,497
Speaker 1: out more, spend more time with family and close friends,

130
00:07:38,817 --> 00:07:42,497
Speaker 1: spend less time worrying about you know, am I doing

131
00:07:42,537 --> 00:07:46,497
Speaker 1: this at the absolute the absolute pinnacle of whatever is

132
00:07:46,497 --> 00:07:49,497
Speaker 1: possible in this professionally or you know? I mean, you

133
00:07:49,577 --> 00:07:50,817
Speaker 1: try to do the best you can. You got to

134
00:07:50,857 --> 00:07:52,977
Speaker 1: sleep at night. You can't just second guess yourself all

135
00:07:52,977 --> 00:07:56,897
Speaker 1: the time. But cutting back on sugar, as somebody who

136
00:07:56,937 --> 00:08:01,977
Speaker 1: has spent a let me see, I really started getting

137
00:08:02,577 --> 00:08:07,137
Speaker 1: serious for me about strength training to where I consistently

138
00:08:07,137 --> 00:08:11,297
Speaker 1: have done it four or five times a week, almost

139
00:08:11,337 --> 00:08:15,377
Speaker 1: without exception, although this past week was an exception. For

140
00:08:15,697 --> 00:08:18,897
Speaker 1: nine months now, so not even quite a year. But

141
00:08:19,017 --> 00:08:21,537
Speaker 1: it's helpful, it's working. But cutting back on the sugar

142
00:08:21,857 --> 00:08:24,257
Speaker 1: would be something that I would really like to try

143
00:08:24,297 --> 00:08:26,457
Speaker 1: to make happen in this year and just sort of

144
00:08:26,457 --> 00:08:28,737
Speaker 1: see how it affects me and everything else. Caffeine, Sorry,

145
00:08:28,937 --> 00:08:31,897
Speaker 1: love mc oh maybe caffeine is my addiction actually because

146
00:08:31,897 --> 00:08:34,617
Speaker 1: I love my coffee. I also love real estate investing

147
00:08:34,977 --> 00:08:37,137
Speaker 1: with Done for Your Real Estate, and that's what we

Speaker 1: they'll walk you through. They have people that will help

160
00:09:09,857 --> 00:09:13,617

161
00:09:13,617 --> 00:09:17,417
Speaker 1: in place, get everything lined up, even get a management

162
00:09:17,457 --> 00:09:20,337
Speaker 1: company so you're not worried about doing the day to

Speaker 1: day of the house. That's done for you. And you're getting,

164
00:09:22,897 --> 00:09:24,777
Speaker 1: if you do it right, free cash flow every month,

165
00:09:24,817 --> 00:09:26,697
Speaker 1: and you're building up equity in the house over time.

166
00:09:27,097 --> 00:09:30,297
Speaker 1: And this is a stable, long term asset. You're buying

167
00:09:30,457 --> 00:09:33,897
Speaker 1: a single family home that, if you look at the

168
00:09:33,977 --> 00:09:38,417
Speaker 1: numbers so often, is a great way to invest your money.

169
00:09:39,097 --> 00:09:40,377
Speaker 1: You don't have to be rich to do this, not

170
00:09:40,417 --> 00:09:43,417
Speaker 1: by a long shot. Everyday folks can do this. Go

175
00:09:57,777 --> 00:09:59,177
Speaker 1: All right, So we got to talk a little bit

176
00:09:59,217 --> 00:10:02,577
Speaker 1: about this as I speak to you. It's now two

177
00:10:02,697 --> 00:10:05,577
Speaker 1: votes have already happened for the Speaker of the House.

178
00:10:05,697 --> 00:10:08,177
Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy has lost on both votes. So this is

179
00:10:08,217 --> 00:10:12,217
Speaker 1: going into another realm. And this is a situation that

180
00:10:12,257 --> 00:10:14,497
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody really knows exactly how it's going

181
00:10:14,537 --> 00:10:17,737
Speaker 1: to play out, including the people who are, in this

182
00:10:17,817 --> 00:10:24,497
Speaker 1: case the rebels from the GOP establishment. Kevin McCarthy here

183
00:10:25,257 --> 00:10:28,257
Speaker 1: said that this is when you know things are getting rough,

184
00:10:28,577 --> 00:10:31,097
Speaker 1: Things are getting a little rough and tumble. Kevin McCarthy

185
00:10:31,217 --> 00:10:36,937
Speaker 1: saying that as of last night, there were some GOP

186
00:10:37,097 --> 00:10:41,537
Speaker 1: members of Congress who would be okay with Hakim Jeffries,

187
00:10:41,577 --> 00:10:44,617
Speaker 1: a Democrat, as Speaker of the House instead of Kevin

188
00:10:44,697 --> 00:10:47,737
Speaker 1: McCarthy playclib one. Last night, I was presented the only

189
00:10:47,737 --> 00:10:50,057
Speaker 1: way to have two hundred and eighteen votes if I

190
00:10:50,177 --> 00:10:53,897
Speaker 1: provided certain members with certain positions, certain gavels, to take

191
00:10:53,937 --> 00:10:56,417
Speaker 1: over the Church Committee, to have certain budgets. And they

192
00:10:56,457 --> 00:10:59,457
Speaker 1: even came to the position where one Matt Gates said,

193
00:10:59,457 --> 00:11:01,297
Speaker 1: I don't care if we go to polarity and we

194
00:11:01,337 --> 00:11:04,657
Speaker 1: elect Hakeem Jeffries that it hurts the new frontline members

195
00:11:04,657 --> 00:11:08,257
Speaker 1: not to get reelected. Well, that's not about America. And

196
00:11:08,297 --> 00:11:10,777
Speaker 1: I will always fight to put the American people first,

197
00:11:11,057 --> 00:11:13,817
Speaker 1: not a few individuals that want something for themselves. So

198
00:11:13,857 --> 00:11:16,137
Speaker 1: we may have a battle on the floor, but the

199
00:11:16,177 --> 00:11:18,857
Speaker 1: battle is for the conference and the country. And that's

200
00:11:18,897 --> 00:11:25,337
Speaker 1: fine with me fighting words to be sure. But you

201
00:11:25,377 --> 00:11:28,337
Speaker 1: know one thing that I did do over the over

202
00:11:28,417 --> 00:11:32,537
Speaker 1: the Christmas break was I spent spent a lot of

203
00:11:32,577 --> 00:11:36,697
Speaker 1: time reading just what I felt like reading. I just

204
00:11:36,777 --> 00:11:40,937
Speaker 1: finished a book, The Last Founding Father, James Monroe and

205
00:11:41,017 --> 00:11:45,257
Speaker 1: a Nation's called The Greatness by Harlowe Unger very good,

206
00:11:45,297 --> 00:11:47,657
Speaker 1: by the way, very very good book, and I give

207
00:11:47,657 --> 00:11:51,457
Speaker 1: it an effort for the genre solid B plus. I

208
00:11:51,577 --> 00:11:54,977
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. And I'm actually about one hundred pages into

209
00:11:55,737 --> 00:12:04,257
Speaker 1: George Washington's biography by Churnow and which is excellent. I've heard,

210
00:12:04,337 --> 00:12:06,017
Speaker 1: you know, he's the one who wrote the super famous

211
00:12:06,017 --> 00:12:10,897
Speaker 1: Hamilton's biography that then was the inspiration for the Broadway play,

212
00:12:10,937 --> 00:12:15,377
Speaker 1: which I thought was just atrociously boring and I didn't

213
00:12:15,497 --> 00:12:17,457
Speaker 1: like it at all, but I a lot of other

214
00:12:17,497 --> 00:12:19,257
Speaker 1: people liked it. It became, I think, the one of

215
00:12:19,257 --> 00:12:23,137
Speaker 1: the first billion dollars Broadway enterprises ever. But The Last

216
00:12:23,137 --> 00:12:27,137
Speaker 1: Founding Father is really good. And one aspect of reading

217
00:12:27,137 --> 00:12:28,977
Speaker 1: about that period in history that I think is so

218
00:12:29,057 --> 00:12:33,537
Speaker 1: useful in moments like this where you have the speakers

219
00:12:35,217 --> 00:12:37,097
Speaker 1: or the speakers gabble being fought over in this way

220
00:12:37,097 --> 00:12:39,177
Speaker 1: and people say it's some pretty rough stuff. You know, Oh,

221
00:12:39,257 --> 00:12:40,977
Speaker 1: they want to help the Democrats and they don't want

222
00:12:40,977 --> 00:12:44,817
Speaker 1: to help the country. Is this is the nature of politics.

223
00:12:45,617 --> 00:12:47,657
Speaker 1: It's always been the way things are in this country.

224
00:12:47,977 --> 00:12:51,417
Speaker 1: I think that we get into this mindset of we

225
00:12:51,657 --> 00:12:56,777
Speaker 1: are the only ones who are having this kind of acrimony.

226
00:12:56,817 --> 00:13:00,217
Speaker 1: Who have these politicians slamming each other in this way.

227
00:13:00,617 --> 00:13:04,137
Speaker 1: It's just not the case. The stuff that the founders

228
00:13:04,417 --> 00:13:08,457
Speaker 1: thought and said about each other and the regional politics

229
00:13:08,457 --> 00:13:10,297
Speaker 1: that played out. I mean in the War of eighteen well,

230
00:13:10,297 --> 00:13:13,737
Speaker 1: at one point, New Englanders we're kind of like, I know,

231
00:13:13,777 --> 00:13:15,737
Speaker 1: I like the British, we should do more trade with them.

232
00:13:16,297 --> 00:13:20,137
Speaker 1: You know, you're on your own states that are to

233
00:13:20,257 --> 00:13:23,937
Speaker 1: the south of New England and fighting against the British.

234
00:13:23,977 --> 00:13:26,977
Speaker 1: You know, you're on your own. You want navigation rights

235
00:13:27,177 --> 00:13:32,137
Speaker 1: for the Mississippi River. Bostonians were like, man, not our problem.

236
00:13:32,297 --> 00:13:35,577
Speaker 1: You know, this is this is the nature of how

237
00:13:35,617 --> 00:13:38,617
Speaker 1: it is and how it always has been. Politics is

238
00:13:38,657 --> 00:13:42,297
Speaker 1: about conflict and disagreement as much as it's about consensus

239
00:13:42,297 --> 00:13:44,897
Speaker 1: and finding a way forward. And so that's why I

240
00:13:45,097 --> 00:13:48,537
Speaker 1: don't get overly worried about what's gonna happen if they

241
00:13:48,577 --> 00:13:52,977
Speaker 1: have this fight. What's gonna happen to the Congress if

242
00:13:53,017 --> 00:13:55,537
Speaker 1: they don't have Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House. Look,

243
00:13:55,577 --> 00:13:57,897
Speaker 1: if they allow a Democrat to become a Speaker of

244
00:13:57,937 --> 00:14:02,577
Speaker 1: the House, it's a massive blunder. And you know it's

245
00:14:02,617 --> 00:14:04,177
Speaker 1: hard to fathom that they would let it go to

246
00:14:04,217 --> 00:14:06,577
Speaker 1: that point. I don't think they will, but they may

247
00:14:06,657 --> 00:14:09,737
Speaker 1: decide to hold this out for a few weeks, who knows,

248
00:14:09,737 --> 00:14:12,377
Speaker 1: maybe longer. They may decide that they would really want

249
00:14:12,377 --> 00:14:14,897
Speaker 1: to make a point over this. But I want to

250
00:14:14,937 --> 00:14:17,697
Speaker 1: know what their end goal is. And I say that

251
00:14:18,017 --> 00:14:23,657
Speaker 1: with total earnestness. I'm not suggesting cynically that they have

252
00:14:23,857 --> 00:14:25,897
Speaker 1: that that that I know they don't have one. It

253
00:14:25,937 --> 00:14:27,617
Speaker 1: seems to me they may be lacking one. But I

254
00:14:27,617 --> 00:14:30,017
Speaker 1: don't know for a fact, and I want to know.

255
00:14:30,897 --> 00:14:33,177
Speaker 1: I want to know what the plan is here. So

256
00:14:33,257 --> 00:14:35,937
Speaker 1: this is a major issue that is going to continue

257
00:14:36,097 --> 00:14:39,537
Speaker 1: to I think this is going to go on for days,

258
00:14:39,577 --> 00:14:44,017
Speaker 1: if not, if not weeks, so we shall see. Um

259
00:14:44,137 --> 00:14:48,177
Speaker 1: what is the economic outlook for this year? One thing

260
00:14:48,177 --> 00:14:50,057
Speaker 1: I thought about a lot also over the break is

261
00:14:50,097 --> 00:14:54,977
Speaker 1: I'm over the holiday, I should say, as considering you know,

262
00:14:55,457 --> 00:14:57,937
Speaker 1: am I gonna put money in some investments and how

263
00:14:57,977 --> 00:15:02,137
Speaker 1: am I going to move my my meager savings around

264
00:15:02,217 --> 00:15:04,897
Speaker 1: and try to build more for the future future generations

265
00:15:04,977 --> 00:15:09,697
Speaker 1: of of of you know, buck and Buck junior. I

266
00:15:09,737 --> 00:15:11,617
Speaker 1: don't know what the female equivalent of a buck would

267
00:15:11,617 --> 00:15:14,177
Speaker 1: be if I have five kids, which I'm hoping to

268
00:15:14,217 --> 00:15:18,057
Speaker 1: have soon. But anyway, here is Cudlow, Larry Cudlow with

269
00:15:18,097 --> 00:15:20,217
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty three economic outlook I want to share

270
00:15:20,257 --> 00:15:24,017
Speaker 1: for second play five. The best news I think is

271
00:15:24,337 --> 00:15:28,977
Speaker 1: the inflation rate is coming down. Was clearly evidence. So

272
00:15:29,017 --> 00:15:31,737
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna run a three to four percent

273
00:15:32,137 --> 00:15:36,457
Speaker 1: inflation rate. Okay, that's still above their two percent target,

274
00:15:36,737 --> 00:15:40,017
Speaker 1: but that's a big help from nine or ten percent.

275
00:15:40,137 --> 00:15:43,297
Speaker 1: All right, that's good. Here's the point, my friend, Iris

276
00:15:43,337 --> 00:15:46,417
Speaker 1: Stall is a great column the Starris Stall makes a

277
00:15:46,457 --> 00:15:52,177
Speaker 1: conservative Supreme Court and a Republican House will stop the

278
00:15:52,217 --> 00:15:56,937
Speaker 1: worst of the Biden's lop sided anti growth, big government

279
00:15:57,057 --> 00:16:01,177
Speaker 1: spending in central planning policies. So that's on the bright side.

280
00:16:01,457 --> 00:16:05,817
Speaker 1: So let's see how this plays out. So this is

281
00:16:05,857 --> 00:16:09,777
Speaker 1: the paradox that I have talked about now for a year,

282
00:16:10,857 --> 00:16:16,177
Speaker 1: which is the Biden administration. And I know this sounds crazy,

283
00:16:16,257 --> 00:16:18,297
Speaker 1: but I really like to hit this because I this

284
00:16:18,417 --> 00:16:21,977
Speaker 1: is how I see it. The Biden administration is in

285
00:16:22,057 --> 00:16:27,297
Speaker 1: a better position for his reelection because Republicans have the

286
00:16:27,337 --> 00:16:31,257
Speaker 1: House then they would have been if Democrats had had everything.

287
00:16:32,297 --> 00:16:35,177
Speaker 1: Because now I know the narrative wouldn't necessarily support that,

288
00:16:35,177 --> 00:16:37,017
Speaker 1: because if they're all Democrats won, they must have won

289
00:16:37,017 --> 00:16:40,457
Speaker 1: because Biden's great. No, no no, no, because the damage that

290
00:16:40,577 --> 00:16:42,457
Speaker 1: they will be able to do to the economy that

291
00:16:42,537 --> 00:16:44,737
Speaker 1: they were doing for the first two years obviously and

292
00:16:44,737 --> 00:16:47,977
Speaker 1: then had to back off, the damage that they will

293
00:16:48,017 --> 00:16:49,977
Speaker 1: do to the economy will be limited, and therefore there

294
00:16:49,977 --> 00:16:56,777
Speaker 1: will be some resetting and some healing, if you will,

295
00:16:56,817 --> 00:17:00,257
Speaker 1: of the economy going forward because they won't be able

296
00:17:00,297 --> 00:17:02,657
Speaker 1: to mess things up the way they would want to

297
00:17:02,697 --> 00:17:05,217
Speaker 1: if they had total control and were completely in charge.

298
00:17:05,697 --> 00:17:07,577
Speaker 1: That's how I see this playing out. I mean, I

299
00:17:08,017 --> 00:17:09,977
Speaker 1: think it's very likely, which also why I believe Joe

300
00:17:10,057 --> 00:17:13,337
Speaker 1: Biden's gonna run again, because why wouldn't he. With Republicans

301
00:17:13,337 --> 00:17:15,497
Speaker 1: in the House. Guess what they're gonna say. They're stopping

302
00:17:15,537 --> 00:17:18,457
Speaker 1: They're gonna tell the progressives they're stopping us from getting

303
00:17:18,457 --> 00:17:21,697
Speaker 1: our agenda through. That's what they're going to say. And

304
00:17:21,737 --> 00:17:23,577
Speaker 1: there's some truth to that, because the Republicans do have

305
00:17:23,657 --> 00:17:29,017
Speaker 1: the House. But to the swing voters, to the persuadables,

306
00:17:29,697 --> 00:17:31,977
Speaker 1: to the people that are in the middle, however you

307
00:17:32,017 --> 00:17:34,537
Speaker 1: wanted to define that, they'll say, look, the economy is

308
00:17:34,577 --> 00:17:37,417
Speaker 1: getting better. Things are improving. It's not as bad as

309
00:17:37,417 --> 00:17:39,937
Speaker 1: the Republicans said. It was going to be vote for

310
00:17:40,017 --> 00:17:43,457
Speaker 1: what you know, vote for the Biden. You know, that's

311
00:17:43,497 --> 00:17:45,537
Speaker 1: really going to be the pitch. This is why I

312
00:17:45,537 --> 00:17:48,057
Speaker 1: think the economic outlook is so interesting unless you have

313
00:17:48,137 --> 00:17:52,217
Speaker 1: a massive brutal recession this year, which I know some

314
00:17:52,257 --> 00:17:54,857
Speaker 1: people think could happen. I just want to know what

315
00:17:54,937 --> 00:18:00,257
Speaker 1: the what the indicators are that it is happening, right.

316
00:18:00,257 --> 00:18:02,537
Speaker 1: We need to establish that upfront because as you've seen,

317
00:18:02,577 --> 00:18:05,617
Speaker 1: what is the recession? And there's some questions Democrats really

318
00:18:05,617 --> 00:18:07,497
Speaker 1: don't answer. What does a woman? Democrats don't have an

319
00:18:07,497 --> 00:18:11,057
Speaker 1: answer hat tip Matt Walsh and his excellent documentary. They

320
00:18:11,057 --> 00:18:15,017
Speaker 1: don't really have an answer to that. What is a recession? Well,

321
00:18:15,017 --> 00:18:17,537
Speaker 1: they change the definition of recession as it fits their

322
00:18:17,577 --> 00:18:20,217
Speaker 1: political needs, as you know. So we should probably get

323
00:18:20,217 --> 00:18:22,857
Speaker 1: ahead of this now and say, if the following occurs,

324
00:18:23,417 --> 00:18:26,137
Speaker 1: we're in a really we're in a really bad economy,

325
00:18:27,577 --> 00:18:30,337
Speaker 1: because I if it happens, they're not going to admit it,

326
00:18:30,377 --> 00:18:32,897
Speaker 1: and they're going to shift blame around. Because the one

327
00:18:33,057 --> 00:18:38,817
Speaker 1: thing that I believe delivers a smashing victory to Republicans

328
00:18:38,817 --> 00:18:41,337
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four with more certainty than anything else

329
00:18:42,257 --> 00:18:45,217
Speaker 1: is we have a two thousand and eight style recession,

330
00:18:45,337 --> 00:18:49,377
Speaker 1: a big nasty correction in the housing market and the

331
00:18:49,497 --> 00:18:52,937
Speaker 1: job market, and you name it. That's the one thing

332
00:18:53,017 --> 00:18:57,057
Speaker 1: where and look, I'm gonna say it. You know, people

333
00:18:57,217 --> 00:19:02,377
Speaker 1: people are talking about Trump's electability going forward, Trump's economy

334
00:19:02,657 --> 00:19:07,137
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen to twenty twenty as a pitch laid against

335
00:19:07,217 --> 00:19:12,457
Speaker 1: or put up against a massive decline in the economy Underbiden.

336
00:19:12,857 --> 00:19:14,897
Speaker 1: You can start to see how that narrative fits together.

337
00:19:15,177 --> 00:19:17,777
Speaker 1: It might feel, oh, that's crazy right now to some people,

338
00:19:17,857 --> 00:19:22,297
Speaker 1: but things change very dramatically. So you know, these are

339
00:19:22,297 --> 00:19:26,217
Speaker 1: the ways I see the economy affecting politics, and of

340
00:19:26,217 --> 00:19:29,257
Speaker 1: course politics affecting the economy in twenty twenty three. So yeah,

341
00:19:29,257 --> 00:19:30,817
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to cut back on my sugar. I'm

342
00:19:30,817 --> 00:19:32,257
Speaker 1: not sure if there's gonna be a huge recession. I

343
00:19:32,257 --> 00:19:33,617
Speaker 1: don't know who the Speaker of the House is going

344
00:19:33,697 --> 00:19:38,497
Speaker 1: to be. And the COVID lunacy is continuing on too,

345
00:19:38,537 --> 00:19:42,977
Speaker 1: with people now bringing back mask in some places. I

346
00:19:42,977 --> 00:19:47,177
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, I see this and it's remarkable to me.

347
00:19:48,017 --> 00:19:51,977
Speaker 1: I really mean this I think now the dead end maskers,

348
00:19:52,337 --> 00:19:54,097
Speaker 1: the ones who just don't care, they're going to keep

349
00:19:54,137 --> 00:19:58,137
Speaker 1: doing it increasingly. You see them with the tightly fitting mask,

350
00:19:58,897 --> 00:20:00,377
Speaker 1: and now this is the this is the term that

351
00:20:00,377 --> 00:20:03,257
Speaker 1: it's always a well fitting or tightly fitting mask, and

352
00:20:03,297 --> 00:20:05,977
Speaker 1: they take this to be quite literal. The tightly fitting

353
00:20:06,017 --> 00:20:10,377
Speaker 1: mask idea comes from the N ninety five mask, which

354
00:20:10,417 --> 00:20:14,817
Speaker 1: has to be for medical purposes fitted onto your face.

355
00:20:14,977 --> 00:20:18,097
Speaker 1: The seal must not be broken. Rust the mask obviously loses.

356
00:20:18,537 --> 00:20:20,697
Speaker 1: You know, it's like if a condom breaks, right, doesn't

357
00:20:20,697 --> 00:20:23,057
Speaker 1: really work if it breaks. If the seal is broken,

358
00:20:23,537 --> 00:20:29,057
Speaker 1: then you're not getting protection. But the I mean beyond that.

359
00:20:29,417 --> 00:20:31,377
Speaker 1: What you see now are people who are wearing these

360
00:20:31,417 --> 00:20:34,177
Speaker 1: masks with these two rubber straps, and you can see

361
00:20:34,217 --> 00:20:35,737
Speaker 1: based on the way it's pulling into their head and

362
00:20:35,777 --> 00:20:40,537
Speaker 1: their hair, they're making it really tight because that is there.

363
00:20:41,417 --> 00:20:44,777
Speaker 1: This is their their hair shirt. And if you understand

364
00:20:44,777 --> 00:20:47,817
Speaker 1: the medieval Catholic reference, this is their their way of

365
00:20:47,857 --> 00:20:50,977
Speaker 1: proving to everybody how seriously they take the virus. And

366
00:20:51,017 --> 00:20:53,537
Speaker 1: they brought back in New Jersey public schools and Patterson

367
00:20:53,617 --> 00:20:56,257
Speaker 1: masking for kids or other school systems. Now they're bringing

368
00:20:56,257 --> 00:21:00,777
Speaker 1: back masking. So we have a commie lunacy here in

369
00:21:00,777 --> 00:21:03,657
Speaker 1: the COVID era that is lingering, and the fight against

370
00:21:03,657 --> 00:21:06,817
Speaker 1: this is not over because they have to admit that

371
00:21:06,857 --> 00:21:08,697
Speaker 1: they are wrong, or else they will try to do

372
00:21:08,737 --> 00:21:11,297
Speaker 1: it to you. And that is my my mantra on

373
00:21:11,337 --> 00:21:13,577
Speaker 1: this for twenty twenty three. As long as they do

374
00:21:13,617 --> 00:21:16,377
Speaker 1: it to themselves and they don't have to admit that

375
00:21:16,417 --> 00:21:19,577
Speaker 1: it's wrong, their long term plan is to make you

376
00:21:19,657 --> 00:21:22,057
Speaker 1: and your children do it too, Not on my watch.

377
00:21:22,617 --> 00:21:24,217
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let this go down without a fight.

378
00:21:25,017 --> 00:21:28,017
Speaker 1: All right, twenty twenty three is underway. I'll be back

379
00:21:28,017 --> 00:21:30,577
Speaker 1: with you tomorrow. Hopefully we'll get the new video up.

380

381
