<v Speaker 1>of the Buck section Show of the new year. And

0:00:38.777 --> 0:00:41.097
<v Speaker 1>very excited to chat with all of you about everything

0:00:41.137 --> 0:00:44.737
<v Speaker 1>that's going on. We have, for example, this fight playing

0:00:44.737 --> 0:00:48.657
<v Speaker 1>out on the floor of Congress right now with who

0:00:48.697 --> 0:00:50.337
<v Speaker 1>will be the next Speaker of the House. We will

0:00:50.377 --> 0:00:55.017
<v Speaker 1>discuss that, plus more and more people recognizing that the

0:00:55.177 --> 0:00:58.697
<v Speaker 1>COVID vaccine shots or whatever you want to call them,

0:00:58.737 --> 0:01:02.657
<v Speaker 1>not working as planned, and the DeSantis inauguration. I'm here

0:01:02.697 --> 0:01:07.097
<v Speaker 1>today in Tallahassee, Florida, which is why you're not seeing

0:01:07.177 --> 0:01:10.537
<v Speaker 1>video of the show up on the Rumble channel. But

0:01:10.977 --> 0:01:14.977
<v Speaker 1>it's a very happy day here in Tallahassee as descantists

0:01:15.057 --> 0:01:18.617
<v Speaker 1>gets ready for four more years as governor. Will discuss that,

0:01:18.777 --> 0:01:21.177
<v Speaker 1>my friends, and so much more, maybe some New Year's

0:01:21.217 --> 0:01:24.097
<v Speaker 1>resolutions and other things coming up here in just a second.

0:01:24.897 --> 0:01:26.697

<v Speaker 1>your identity and your finances. Identity thieves can take out

0:01:29.617 --> 0:01:31.977
<v Speaker 1>loans in your name, takeover and drain your bank and

0:01:32.017 --> 0:01:34.657
<v Speaker 1>investment accounts in more. And you know, it's so dangerously

0:01:34.737 --> 0:01:37.217

<v Speaker 1>accounts and credit detects potential identity threats you may miss

<v Speaker 1>on your own, and I've had to rely on LifeLock

0:01:49.097 --> 0:01:52.257
<v Speaker 1>many times in the past. I've gotten countless notifications from them,

0:01:52.897 --> 0:01:55.857
<v Speaker 1>and I've even had to work with a LifeLock identity

0:01:56.137 --> 0:02:00.137

0:02:30.457 --> 0:02:33.057
<v Speaker 1>I've got such big plans here in twenty twenty three

0:02:33.137 --> 0:02:36.657
<v Speaker 1>for the Buck Sexton Show, the expanded version of a

0:02:36.897 --> 0:02:42.097
<v Speaker 1>video and having guests on this longer form, interviews with guests,

0:02:42.137 --> 0:02:45.217
<v Speaker 1>all that. But today, because I'm in Tallahassee, we're not

0:02:45.337 --> 0:02:49.657
<v Speaker 1>quite doing the two point zero version of the Buck

0:02:49.697 --> 0:02:53.377
<v Speaker 1>Sexton Show. But because I'm in Tallahassee at the Desantists

0:02:53.497 --> 0:02:57.697
<v Speaker 1>inauguration celebration, I thought I would speak a little bit

0:02:57.737 --> 0:03:02.177
<v Speaker 1>about what this has meant, what Florida means going forward.

0:03:03.257 --> 0:03:08.057
<v Speaker 1>For anybody that feels like it is impossible, that the

0:03:08.177 --> 0:03:11.297
<v Speaker 1>Commies are winning, that there's nothing that we can do

0:03:11.377 --> 0:03:15.537
<v Speaker 1>to win back the culture, that politics is pointless, remember

0:03:15.617 --> 0:03:20.977
<v Speaker 1>that the states are supposed to be laboratories of what

0:03:21.017 --> 0:03:23.817
<v Speaker 1>our Republic can achieve at the national level. The states

0:03:23.817 --> 0:03:29.177
<v Speaker 1>are the proving grounds their areas yes of constitutionally declared

0:03:30.257 --> 0:03:34.657
<v Speaker 1>autonomy in many matters, in most matters, but they also

0:03:34.857 --> 0:03:38.137
<v Speaker 1>show people what happens as different policies play out. So

0:03:38.217 --> 0:03:42.737
<v Speaker 1>you have the experiment of each and every state and

0:03:42.817 --> 0:03:45.417
<v Speaker 1>the results that are produces. Why does that matter so much?

0:03:46.017 --> 0:03:48.137
<v Speaker 1>You just look at what's happening in Florida and for

0:03:48.177 --> 0:03:52.577
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the nation. I would say, one, don't despair.

0:03:52.617 --> 0:03:55.017
<v Speaker 1>If you live in New York or California, you can

0:03:55.057 --> 0:03:58.377
<v Speaker 1>always consider moving to another state. But even if you can't,

0:03:59.017 --> 0:04:02.697
<v Speaker 1>it got pretty close in New York and in California.

0:04:02.777 --> 0:04:05.297
<v Speaker 1>I think there will be a turning point at some

0:04:05.417 --> 0:04:08.937
<v Speaker 1>point in the future. But you do want to ask

0:04:08.977 --> 0:04:12.417
<v Speaker 1>yourself questions, why is it that New York, for example,

0:04:12.457 --> 0:04:16.657
<v Speaker 1>New York State has fewer people but double the state

0:04:16.657 --> 0:04:19.777
<v Speaker 1>budget of the state of Florida. What are you really

0:04:19.857 --> 0:04:22.297
<v Speaker 1>getting as a New Yorker for that? And the answer

0:04:22.377 --> 0:04:29.657
<v Speaker 1>is a massive, massive welfare state and a massive bureaucracy

0:04:29.697 --> 0:04:32.697
<v Speaker 1>that is largely funded to administer that welfare state in

0:04:32.697 --> 0:04:36.377
<v Speaker 1>one form or another. That's it. Do you want that?

0:04:36.457 --> 0:04:38.217
<v Speaker 1>Do you want your state taxes to go to that?

0:04:38.777 --> 0:04:42.057
<v Speaker 1>What happens when you have leadership as they do here

0:04:42.097 --> 0:04:48.057
<v Speaker 1>in Florida that pursues sensible policy goals, that tries to

0:04:48.177 --> 0:04:52.697
<v Speaker 1>just get things done that make people's lives easier, that

0:04:52.737 --> 0:04:56.497
<v Speaker 1>make their life day to day a little better. Well,

0:04:56.657 --> 0:05:00.217
<v Speaker 1>we see those results and keeping Florida open during the pandemic,

0:05:01.177 --> 0:05:05.057
<v Speaker 1>being the most open state, which was clearly without any

0:05:05.097 --> 0:05:08.337
<v Speaker 1>doubt with the right decision, and so few states unfortunately

0:05:08.417 --> 0:05:11.017
<v Speaker 1>made it. That required a lot political courage. But we

0:05:11.057 --> 0:05:14.617
<v Speaker 1>also see this with the war on wokeness, which is

0:05:14.657 --> 0:05:18.817
<v Speaker 1>really just a war on a new version of the

0:05:18.857 --> 0:05:23.417
<v Speaker 1>communist ethos that has destroyed so many countries. That's something

0:05:23.417 --> 0:05:25.137
<v Speaker 1>that you can do at the state level, state and

0:05:25.137 --> 0:05:28.417
<v Speaker 1>local matters, state and local matters, and I think Florida

0:05:28.657 --> 0:05:32.017
<v Speaker 1>is a really important reminder of that. And also in

0:05:32.057 --> 0:05:34.897
<v Speaker 1>terms of having a strategy. You know, I'm thinking about

0:05:34.977 --> 0:05:38.817
<v Speaker 1>what can be accomplished in this new year for me personally,

0:05:38.857 --> 0:05:42.257
<v Speaker 1>and I've really I've thought about this a lot. Cutting

0:05:42.257 --> 0:05:47.497
<v Speaker 1>down drinking was easy. I'm not anti having a drink ever,

0:05:47.537 --> 0:05:50.057
<v Speaker 1>because I will have wine or really I just drink

0:05:50.097 --> 0:05:53.177
<v Speaker 1>wine and tequila. I'll drink those two things. But I've

0:05:53.217 --> 0:05:56.097
<v Speaker 1>cut it down to the point where it is I

0:05:56.217 --> 0:05:58.537
<v Speaker 1>drink about as frequently as I have you know, cake

0:05:58.977 --> 0:06:01.137
<v Speaker 1>or something like that, so you know you're not having

0:06:01.217 --> 0:06:02.857
<v Speaker 1>cake every day. I'm certainly a drinking every day. I

0:06:02.857 --> 0:06:04.537
<v Speaker 1>probably have cake once or twice a month, and that's

0:06:04.537 --> 0:06:06.737
<v Speaker 1>probably where I am on the drinking front, and I

0:06:06.737 --> 0:06:08.497
<v Speaker 1>really only have one or two. Now, I don't say

0:06:08.497 --> 0:06:10.257
<v Speaker 1>this to judge. I just say that it was easy

0:06:10.337 --> 0:06:13.177
<v Speaker 1>for me to make the choice to cut it back

0:06:13.297 --> 0:06:16.257
<v Speaker 1>and to do so. But man, if twenty twenty three

0:06:16.337 --> 0:06:21.937
<v Speaker 1>we're talking resolutions cutting back on my sugar intake, I'm

0:06:21.977 --> 0:06:23.857
<v Speaker 1>sure a lot of you have the same feeling. Cutting

0:06:23.857 --> 0:06:28.097
<v Speaker 1>back on sugar is so hard to do, and a

0:06:28.097 --> 0:06:30.417
<v Speaker 1>lot of people think that it's not hard. Have never

0:06:30.457 --> 0:06:34.497
<v Speaker 1>actually really done the math and looked at how much

0:06:34.537 --> 0:06:37.537
<v Speaker 1>stuff has a lot of sugar. You have some really

0:06:37.577 --> 0:06:41.297
<v Speaker 1>delicious beef jerky. Some beef jerky's got twenty grams of

0:06:41.297 --> 0:06:45.337
<v Speaker 1>sugar in it. You have some ketchup loaded with sugar.

0:06:45.497 --> 0:06:49.897
<v Speaker 1>You things that you would not anticipate. Fruit juice, don't

0:06:49.897 --> 0:06:52.737
<v Speaker 1>even get me started. Might as well have a Coca cola, right.

0:06:52.777 --> 0:06:55.057
<v Speaker 1>Fruit juice very different from fruit in the way it

0:06:55.177 --> 0:06:58.297
<v Speaker 1>enters your body and your bloodstream because of the fiber

0:06:58.377 --> 0:07:00.977
<v Speaker 1>content of fruit. Eating fruit is great, all about that,

0:07:01.137 --> 0:07:03.137
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna allow myself to eat plenty of fruit.

0:07:03.617 --> 0:07:07.457
<v Speaker 1>But drinking straight orange juice, for example, a lot of

0:07:07.497 --> 0:07:10.897
<v Speaker 1>sugar in these things. And it's it's interesting that there

0:07:10.937 --> 0:07:13.017
<v Speaker 1>still seems to be some debate as whether your body

0:07:13.057 --> 0:07:16.617
<v Speaker 1>can develop a degree of addiction to sugar. So I

0:07:16.697 --> 0:07:19.937
<v Speaker 1>don't have. There are no other addictions that I struggle with.

0:07:19.977 --> 0:07:21.737
<v Speaker 1>I'm very fortunate in that sense. But if I had

0:07:21.737 --> 0:07:25.097
<v Speaker 1>to pick one thing, and if twenty twenty three is

0:07:25.137 --> 0:07:28.657
<v Speaker 1>a year for improving oneself, there's a lot of things

0:07:28.697 --> 0:07:31.737
<v Speaker 1>that I want to do. Watch even less television of

0:07:31.777 --> 0:07:34.777
<v Speaker 1>any kind than I do, read more, sleep more, work

0:07:34.777 --> 0:07:38.497
<v Speaker 1>out more, spend more time with family and close friends,

0:07:38.817 --> 0:07:42.497
<v Speaker 1>spend less time worrying about you know, am I doing

0:07:42.537 --> 0:07:46.497
<v Speaker 1>this at the absolute the absolute pinnacle of whatever is

0:07:46.497 --> 0:07:49.497
<v Speaker 1>possible in this professionally or you know? I mean, you

0:07:49.577 --> 0:07:50.817
<v Speaker 1>try to do the best you can. You got to

0:07:50.857 --> 0:07:52.977
<v Speaker 1>sleep at night. You can't just second guess yourself all

0:07:52.977 --> 0:07:56.897
<v Speaker 1>the time. But cutting back on sugar, as somebody who

0:07:56.937 --> 0:08:01.977
<v Speaker 1>has spent a let me see, I really started getting

0:08:02.577 --> 0:08:07.137
<v Speaker 1>serious for me about strength training to where I consistently

0:08:07.137 --> 0:08:11.297
<v Speaker 1>have done it four or five times a week, almost

0:08:11.337 --> 0:08:15.377
<v Speaker 1>without exception, although this past week was an exception. For

0:08:15.697 --> 0:08:18.897
<v Speaker 1>nine months now, so not even quite a year. But

0:08:19.017 --> 0:08:21.537
<v Speaker 1>it's helpful, it's working. But cutting back on the sugar

0:08:21.857 --> 0:08:24.257
<v Speaker 1>would be something that I would really like to try

0:08:24.297 --> 0:08:26.457
<v Speaker 1>to make happen in this year and just sort of

0:08:26.457 --> 0:08:28.737
<v Speaker 1>see how it affects me and everything else. Caffeine, Sorry,

0:08:28.937 --> 0:08:31.897
<v Speaker 1>love mc oh maybe caffeine is my addiction actually because

0:08:31.897 --> 0:08:34.617

<v Speaker 1>Buck dot Com. Begin your real estate and investment journey today.

0:09:57.777 --> 0:09:59.177
<v Speaker 1>All right, So we got to talk a little bit

0:09:59.217 --> 0:10:02.577
<v Speaker 1>about this as I speak to you. It's now two

0:10:02.697 --> 0:10:05.577
<v Speaker 1>votes have already happened for the Speaker of the House.

0:10:05.697 --> 0:10:08.177
<v Speaker 1>Kevin McCarthy has lost on both votes. So this is

0:10:08.217 --> 0:10:12.217
<v Speaker 1>going into another realm. And this is a situation that

0:10:12.257 --> 0:10:14.497
<v Speaker 1>I don't think anybody really knows exactly how it's going

0:10:14.537 --> 0:10:17.737
<v Speaker 1>to play out, including the people who are, in this

0:10:17.817 --> 0:10:24.497
<v Speaker 1>case the rebels from the GOP establishment. Kevin McCarthy here

0:10:25.257 --> 0:10:28.257
<v Speaker 1>said that this is when you know things are getting rough,

0:10:28.577 --> 0:10:31.097
<v Speaker 1>Things are getting a little rough and tumble. Kevin McCarthy

0:10:31.217 --> 0:10:36.937
<v Speaker 1>saying that as of last night, there were some GOP

0:10:37.097 --> 0:10:41.537
<v Speaker 1>members of Congress who would be okay with Hakim Jeffries,

0:10:41.577 --> 0:10:44.617
<v Speaker 1>a Democrat, as Speaker of the House instead of Kevin

0:10:44.697 --> 0:10:47.737
<v Speaker 1>McCarthy playclib one. Last night, I was presented the only

0:10:47.737 --> 0:10:50.057
<v Speaker 1>way to have two hundred and eighteen votes if I

0:10:50.177 --> 0:10:53.897
<v Speaker 1>provided certain members with certain positions, certain gavels, to take

0:10:53.937 --> 0:10:56.417
<v Speaker 1>over the Church Committee, to have certain budgets. And they

0:10:56.457 --> 0:10:59.457
<v Speaker 1>even came to the position where one Matt Gates said,

0:10:59.457 --> 0:11:01.297
<v Speaker 1>I don't care if we go to polarity and we

0:11:01.337 --> 0:11:04.657
<v Speaker 1>elect Hakeem Jeffries that it hurts the new frontline members

0:11:04.657 --> 0:11:08.257
<v Speaker 1>not to get reelected. Well, that's not about America. And

0:11:08.297 --> 0:11:10.777
<v Speaker 1>I will always fight to put the American people first,

0:11:11.057 --> 0:11:13.817
<v Speaker 1>not a few individuals that want something for themselves. So

0:11:13.857 --> 0:11:16.137
<v Speaker 1>we may have a battle on the floor, but the

0:11:16.177 --> 0:11:18.857
<v Speaker 1>battle is for the conference and the country. And that's

0:11:18.897 --> 0:11:25.337
<v Speaker 1>fine with me fighting words to be sure. But you

0:11:25.377 --> 0:11:28.337
<v Speaker 1>know one thing that I did do over the over

0:11:28.417 --> 0:11:32.537
<v Speaker 1>the Christmas break was I spent spent a lot of

0:11:32.577 --> 0:11:36.697
<v Speaker 1>time reading just what I felt like reading. I just

0:11:36.777 --> 0:11:40.937
<v Speaker 1>finished a book, The Last Founding Father, James Monroe and

0:11:41.017 --> 0:11:45.257
<v Speaker 1>a Nation's called The Greatness by Harlowe Unger very good,

0:11:45.297 --> 0:11:47.657
<v Speaker 1>by the way, very very good book, and I give

0:11:47.657 --> 0:11:51.457
<v Speaker 1>it an effort for the genre solid B plus. I

0:11:51.577 --> 0:11:54.977
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed it. And I'm actually about one hundred pages into

0:11:55.737 --> 0:12:04.257
<v Speaker 1>George Washington's biography by Churnow and which is excellent. I've heard,

0:12:04.337 --> 0:12:06.017
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's the one who wrote the super famous

0:12:06.017 --> 0:12:10.897
<v Speaker 1>Hamilton's biography that then was the inspiration for the Broadway play,

0:12:10.937 --> 0:12:15.377
<v Speaker 1>which I thought was just atrociously boring and I didn't

0:12:15.497 --> 0:12:17.457
<v Speaker 1>like it at all, but I a lot of other

0:12:17.497 --> 0:12:19.257
<v Speaker 1>people liked it. It became, I think, the one of

0:12:19.257 --> 0:12:23.137
<v Speaker 1>the first billion dollars Broadway enterprises ever. But The Last

0:12:23.137 --> 0:12:27.137
<v Speaker 1>Founding Father is really good. And one aspect of reading

0:12:27.137 --> 0:12:28.977
<v Speaker 1>about that period in history that I think is so

0:12:29.057 --> 0:12:33.537
<v Speaker 1>useful in moments like this where you have the speakers

0:12:35.217 --> 0:12:37.097
<v Speaker 1>or the speakers gabble being fought over in this way

0:12:37.097 --> 0:12:39.177
<v Speaker 1>and people say it's some pretty rough stuff. You know, Oh,

0:12:39.257 --> 0:12:40.977
<v Speaker 1>they want to help the Democrats and they don't want

0:12:40.977 --> 0:12:44.817
<v Speaker 1>to help the country. Is this is the nature of politics.

0:12:45.617 --> 0:12:47.657
<v Speaker 1>It's always been the way things are in this country.

0:12:47.977 --> 0:12:51.417
<v Speaker 1>I think that we get into this mindset of we

0:12:51.657 --> 0:12:56.777
<v Speaker 1>are the only ones who are having this kind of acrimony.

0:12:56.817 --> 0:13:00.217
<v Speaker 1>Who have these politicians slamming each other in this way.

0:13:00.617 --> 0:13:04.137
<v Speaker 1>It's just not the case. The stuff that the founders

0:13:04.417 --> 0:13:08.457
<v Speaker 1>thought and said about each other and the regional politics

0:13:08.457 --> 0:13:10.297
<v Speaker 1>that played out. I mean in the War of eighteen well,

0:13:10.297 --> 0:13:13.737
<v Speaker 1>at one point, New Englanders we're kind of like, I know,

0:13:13.777 --> 0:13:15.737
<v Speaker 1>I like the British, we should do more trade with them.

0:13:16.297 --> 0:13:20.137
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're on your own states that are to

0:13:20.257 --> 0:13:23.937
<v Speaker 1>the south of New England and fighting against the British.

0:13:23.977 --> 0:13:26.977
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're on your own. You want navigation rights

0:13:27.177 --> 0:13:32.137
<v Speaker 1>for the Mississippi River. Bostonians were like, man, not our problem.

0:13:32.297 --> 0:13:35.577
<v Speaker 1>You know, this is this is the nature of how

0:13:35.617 --> 0:13:38.617
<v Speaker 1>it is and how it always has been. Politics is

0:13:38.657 --> 0:13:42.297
<v Speaker 1>about conflict and disagreement as much as it's about consensus

0:13:42.297 --> 0:13:44.897
<v Speaker 1>and finding a way forward. And so that's why I

0:13:45.097 --> 0:13:48.537
<v Speaker 1>don't get overly worried about what's gonna happen if they

0:13:48.577 --> 0:13:52.977
<v Speaker 1>have this fight. What's gonna happen to the Congress if

0:13:53.017 --> 0:13:55.537
<v Speaker 1>they don't have Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House. Look,

0:13:55.577 --> 0:13:57.897
<v Speaker 1>if they allow a Democrat to become a Speaker of

0:13:57.937 --> 0:14:02.577
<v Speaker 1>the House, it's a massive blunder. And you know it's

0:14:02.617 --> 0:14:04.177
<v Speaker 1>hard to fathom that they would let it go to

0:14:04.217 --> 0:14:06.577
<v Speaker 1>that point. I don't think they will, but they may

0:14:06.657 --> 0:14:09.737
<v Speaker 1>decide to hold this out for a few weeks, who knows,

0:14:09.737 --> 0:14:12.377
<v Speaker 1>maybe longer. They may decide that they would really want

0:14:12.377 --> 0:14:14.897
<v Speaker 1>to make a point over this. But I want to

0:14:14.937 --> 0:14:17.697
<v Speaker 1>know what their end goal is. And I say that

0:14:18.017 --> 0:14:23.657
<v Speaker 1>with total earnestness. I'm not suggesting cynically that they have

0:14:23.857 --> 0:14:25.897
<v Speaker 1>that that that I know they don't have one. It

0:14:25.937 --> 0:14:27.617
<v Speaker 1>seems to me they may be lacking one. But I

0:14:27.617 --> 0:14:30.017
<v Speaker 1>don't know for a fact, and I want to know.

0:14:30.897 --> 0:14:33.177
<v Speaker 1>I want to know what the plan is here. So

0:14:33.257 --> 0:14:35.937
<v Speaker 1>this is a major issue that is going to continue

0:14:36.097 --> 0:14:39.537
<v Speaker 1>to I think this is going to go on for days,

0:14:39.577 --> 0:14:44.017
<v Speaker 1>if not, if not weeks, so we shall see. Um

0:14:44.137 --> 0:14:48.177
<v Speaker 1>what is the economic outlook for this year? One thing

0:14:48.177 --> 0:14:50.057
<v Speaker 1>I thought about a lot also over the break is

0:14:50.097 --> 0:14:54.977
<v Speaker 1>I'm over the holiday, I should say, as considering you know,

0:14:55.457 --> 0:14:57.937
<v Speaker 1>am I gonna put money in some investments and how

0:14:57.977 --> 0:15:02.137
<v Speaker 1>am I going to move my my meager savings around

0:15:02.217 --> 0:15:04.897
<v Speaker 1>and try to build more for the future future generations

0:15:04.977 --> 0:15:09.697
<v Speaker 1>of of of you know, buck and Buck junior. I

0:15:09.737 --> 0:15:11.617
<v Speaker 1>don't know what the female equivalent of a buck would

0:15:11.617 --> 0:15:14.177
<v Speaker 1>be if I have five kids, which I'm hoping to

0:15:14.217 --> 0:15:18.057
<v Speaker 1>have soon. But anyway, here is Cudlow, Larry Cudlow with

0:15:18.097 --> 0:15:20.217
<v Speaker 1>a twenty twenty three economic outlook I want to share

0:15:20.257 --> 0:15:24.017
<v Speaker 1>for second play five. The best news I think is

0:15:24.337 --> 0:15:28.977
<v Speaker 1>the inflation rate is coming down. Was clearly evidence. So

0:15:29.017 --> 0:15:31.737
<v Speaker 1>I think you're gonna run a three to four percent

0:15:32.137 --> 0:15:36.457
<v Speaker 1>inflation rate. Okay, that's still above their two percent target,

0:15:36.737 --> 0:15:40.017
<v Speaker 1>but that's a big help from nine or ten percent.

0:15:40.137 --> 0:15:43.297
<v Speaker 1>All right, that's good. Here's the point, my friend, Iris

0:15:43.337 --> 0:15:46.417
<v Speaker 1>Stall is a great column the Starris Stall makes a

0:15:46.457 --> 0:15:52.177
<v Speaker 1>conservative Supreme Court and a Republican House will stop the

0:15:52.217 --> 0:15:56.937
<v Speaker 1>worst of the Biden's lop sided anti growth, big government

0:15:57.057 --> 0:16:01.177
<v Speaker 1>spending in central planning policies. So that's on the bright side.

0:16:01.457 --> 0:16:05.817
<v Speaker 1>So let's see how this plays out. So this is

0:16:05.857 --> 0:16:09.777
<v Speaker 1>the paradox that I have talked about now for a year,

0:16:10.857 --> 0:16:16.177
<v Speaker 1>which is the Biden administration. And I know this sounds crazy,

0:16:16.257 --> 0:16:18.297
<v Speaker 1>but I really like to hit this because I this

0:16:18.417 --> 0:16:21.977
<v Speaker 1>is how I see it. The Biden administration is in

0:16:22.057 --> 0:16:27.297
<v Speaker 1>a better position for his reelection because Republicans have the

0:16:27.337 --> 0:16:31.257
<v Speaker 1>House then they would have been if Democrats had had everything.

0:16:32.297 --> 0:16:35.177
<v Speaker 1>Because now I know the narrative wouldn't necessarily support that,

0:16:35.177 --> 0:16:37.017
<v Speaker 1>because if they're all Democrats won, they must have won

0:16:37.017 --> 0:16:40.457
<v Speaker 1>because Biden's great. No, no no, no, because the damage that

0:16:40.577 --> 0:16:42.457
<v Speaker 1>they will be able to do to the economy that

0:16:42.537 --> 0:16:44.737
<v Speaker 1>they were doing for the first two years obviously and

0:16:44.737 --> 0:16:47.977
<v Speaker 1>then had to back off, the damage that they will

0:16:48.017 --> 0:16:49.977
<v Speaker 1>do to the economy will be limited, and therefore there

0:16:49.977 --> 0:16:56.777
<v Speaker 1>will be some resetting and some healing, if you will,

0:16:56.817 --> 0:17:00.257
<v Speaker 1>of the economy going forward because they won't be able

0:17:00.297 --> 0:17:02.657
<v Speaker 1>to mess things up the way they would want to

0:17:02.697 --> 0:17:05.217
<v Speaker 1>if they had total control and were completely in charge.

0:17:05.697 --> 0:17:07.577
<v Speaker 1>That's how I see this playing out. I mean, I

0:17:08.017 --> 0:17:09.977
<v Speaker 1>think it's very likely, which also why I believe Joe

0:17:10.057 --> 0:17:13.337
<v Speaker 1>Biden's gonna run again, because why wouldn't he. With Republicans

0:17:13.337 --> 0:17:15.497
<v Speaker 1>in the House. Guess what they're gonna say. They're stopping

0:17:15.537 --> 0:17:18.457
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna tell the progressives they're stopping us from getting

0:17:18.457 --> 0:17:21.697
<v Speaker 1>our agenda through. That's what they're going to say. And

0:17:21.737 --> 0:17:23.577
<v Speaker 1>there's some truth to that, because the Republicans do have

0:17:23.657 --> 0:17:29.017
<v Speaker 1>the House. But to the swing voters, to the persuadables,

0:17:29.697 --> 0:17:31.977
<v Speaker 1>to the people that are in the middle, however you

0:17:32.017 --> 0:17:34.537
<v Speaker 1>wanted to define that, they'll say, look, the economy is

0:17:34.577 --> 0:17:37.417
<v Speaker 1>getting better. Things are improving. It's not as bad as

0:17:37.417 --> 0:17:39.937
<v Speaker 1>the Republicans said. It was going to be vote for

0:17:40.017 --> 0:17:43.457
<v Speaker 1>what you know, vote for the Biden. You know, that's

0:17:43.497 --> 0:17:45.537
<v Speaker 1>really going to be the pitch. This is why I

0:17:45.537 --> 0:17:48.057
<v Speaker 1>think the economic outlook is so interesting unless you have

0:17:48.137 --> 0:17:52.217
<v Speaker 1>a massive brutal recession this year, which I know some

0:17:52.257 --> 0:17:54.857
<v Speaker 1>people think could happen. I just want to know what

0:17:54.937 --> 0:18:00.257
<v Speaker 1>the what the indicators are that it is happening, right.

0:18:00.257 --> 0:18:02.537
<v Speaker 1>We need to establish that upfront because as you've seen,

0:18:02.577 --> 0:18:05.617
<v Speaker 1>what is the recession? And there's some questions Democrats really

0:18:05.617 --> 0:18:07.497
<v Speaker 1>don't answer. What does a woman? Democrats don't have an

0:18:07.497 --> 0:18:11.057
<v Speaker 1>answer hat tip Matt Walsh and his excellent documentary. They

0:18:11.057 --> 0:18:15.017
<v Speaker 1>don't really have an answer to that. What is a recession? Well,

0:18:15.017 --> 0:18:17.537
<v Speaker 1>they change the definition of recession as it fits their

0:18:17.577 --> 0:18:20.217
<v Speaker 1>political needs, as you know. So we should probably get

0:18:20.217 --> 0:18:22.857
<v Speaker 1>ahead of this now and say, if the following occurs,

0:18:23.417 --> 0:18:26.137
<v Speaker 1>we're in a really we're in a really bad economy,

0:18:27.577 --> 0:18:30.337
<v Speaker 1>because I if it happens, they're not going to admit it,

0:18:30.377 --> 0:18:32.897
<v Speaker 1>and they're going to shift blame around. Because the one

0:18:33.057 --> 0:18:38.817
<v Speaker 1>thing that I believe delivers a smashing victory to Republicans

0:18:38.817 --> 0:18:41.337
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty four with more certainty than anything else

0:18:42.257 --> 0:18:45.217
<v Speaker 1>is we have a two thousand and eight style recession,

0:18:45.337 --> 0:18:49.377
<v Speaker 1>a big nasty correction in the housing market and the

0:18:49.497 --> 0:18:52.937
<v Speaker 1>job market, and you name it. That's the one thing

0:18:53.017 --> 0:18:57.057
<v Speaker 1>where and look, I'm gonna say it. You know, people

0:18:57.217 --> 0:19:02.377
<v Speaker 1>people are talking about Trump's electability going forward, Trump's economy

0:19:02.657 --> 0:19:07.137
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen to twenty twenty as a pitch laid against

0:19:07.217 --> 0:19:12.457
<v Speaker 1>or put up against a massive decline in the economy Underbiden.

0:19:12.857 --> 0:19:14.897
<v Speaker 1>You can start to see how that narrative fits together.

0:19:15.177 --> 0:19:17.777
<v Speaker 1>It might feel, oh, that's crazy right now to some people,

0:19:17.857 --> 0:19:22.297
<v Speaker 1>but things change very dramatically. So you know, these are

0:19:22.297 --> 0:19:26.217
<v Speaker 1>the ways I see the economy affecting politics, and of

0:19:26.217 --> 0:19:29.257
<v Speaker 1>course politics affecting the economy in twenty twenty three. So yeah,

0:19:29.257 --> 0:19:30.817
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna try to cut back on my sugar. I'm

0:19:30.817 --> 0:19:32.257
<v Speaker 1>not sure if there's gonna be a huge recession. I

0:19:32.257 --> 0:19:33.617
<v Speaker 1>don't know who the Speaker of the House is going

0:19:33.697 --> 0:19:38.497
<v Speaker 1>to be. And the COVID lunacy is continuing on too,

0:19:38.537 --> 0:19:42.977
<v Speaker 1>with people now bringing back mask in some places. I

0:19:42.977 --> 0:19:47.177
<v Speaker 1>gotta tell you, I see this and it's remarkable to me.

0:19:48.017 --> 0:19:51.977
<v Speaker 1>I really mean this I think now the dead end maskers,

0:19:52.337 --> 0:19:54.097
<v Speaker 1>the ones who just don't care, they're going to keep

0:19:54.137 --> 0:19:58.137
<v Speaker 1>doing it increasingly. You see them with the tightly fitting mask,

0:19:58.897 --> 0:20:00.377
<v Speaker 1>and now this is the this is the term that

0:20:00.377 --> 0:20:03.257
<v Speaker 1>it's always a well fitting or tightly fitting mask, and

0:20:03.297 --> 0:20:05.977
<v Speaker 1>they take this to be quite literal. The tightly fitting

0:20:06.017 --> 0:20:10.377
<v Speaker 1>mask idea comes from the N ninety five mask, which

0:20:10.417 --> 0:20:14.817
<v Speaker 1>has to be for medical purposes fitted onto your face.

0:20:14.977 --> 0:20:18.097
<v Speaker 1>The seal must not be broken. Rust the mask obviously loses.

0:20:18.537 --> 0:20:20.697
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's like if a condom breaks, right, doesn't

0:20:20.697 --> 0:20:23.057
<v Speaker 1>really work if it breaks. If the seal is broken,

0:20:23.537 --> 0:20:29.057
<v Speaker 1>then you're not getting protection. But the I mean beyond that.

0:20:29.417 --> 0:20:31.377
<v Speaker 1>What you see now are people who are wearing these

0:20:31.417 --> 0:20:34.177
<v Speaker 1>masks with these two rubber straps, and you can see

0:20:34.217 --> 0:20:35.737
<v Speaker 1>based on the way it's pulling into their head and

0:20:35.777 --> 0:20:40.537
<v Speaker 1>their hair, they're making it really tight because that is there.

0:20:41.417 --> 0:20:44.777
<v Speaker 1>This is their their hair shirt. And if you understand

0:20:44.777 --> 0:20:47.817
<v Speaker 1>the medieval Catholic reference, this is their their way of

0:20:47.857 --> 0:20:50.977
<v Speaker 1>proving to everybody how seriously they take the virus. And

0:20:51.017 --> 0:20:53.537
<v Speaker 1>they brought back in New Jersey public schools and Patterson

0:20:53.617 --> 0:20:56.257
<v Speaker 1>masking for kids or other school systems. Now they're bringing

0:20:56.257 --> 0:21:00.777
<v Speaker 1>back masking. So we have a commie lunacy here in

0:21:00.777 --> 0:21:03.657
<v Speaker 1>the COVID era that is lingering, and the fight against

0:21:03.657 --> 0:21:06.817
<v Speaker 1>this is not over because they have to admit that

0:21:06.857 --> 0:21:08.697
<v Speaker 1>they are wrong, or else they will try to do

0:21:08.737 --> 0:21:11.297
<v Speaker 1>it to you. And that is my my mantra on

0:21:11.337 --> 0:21:13.577
<v Speaker 1>this for twenty twenty three. As long as they do

0:21:13.617 --> 0:21:16.377
<v Speaker 1>it to themselves and they don't have to admit that

0:21:16.417 --> 0:21:19.577
<v Speaker 1>it's wrong, their long term plan is to make you

0:21:19.657 --> 0:21:22.057
<v Speaker 1>and your children do it too, Not on my watch.

0:21:22.617 --> 0:21:24.217
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna let this go down without a fight.

0:21:25.017 --> 0:21:28.017
<v Speaker 1>All right, twenty twenty three is underway. I'll be back

0:21:28.017 --> 0:21:30.577
<v Speaker 1>with you tomorrow. Hopefully we'll get the new video up.

0:21:30.617 --> 0:21:33.617
<v Speaker 1>The studio is almost totally complete, so we'll have great

0:21:33.617 --> 0:21:36.817
<v Speaker 1>stuff up at rumball dot com. Slash Buck Sexton and

0:21:37.737 --> 0:21:41.377
<v Speaker 1>I'll talk to you tomorrow. Shield's High
