2020’s Most Embarrassing Mainstream Media Moments

a while, but I'm back and I'm excited. It's Christmas Eve Eve. It's just a couple of days before Christmas in the weirdest year ever, literally the weirdest year ever. I'm gonna try and get to as much as i can as it relates to the weirdest year, plus some information about the vaccine with my buddy doctor Michael Royson from the Cleveland Clinic. We have our friend Tracy Beans from Uncovered DC popping in and I have some questions about the law as well as questions about the law

and how it relates to the vaccine. So we'll get the opinion of my buddy attorney Wendy Patrick, and maybe a couple other surprises. The big news was about twenty four hours ago when the President dropped the hammer on Congress. The President came out and told the House and the Senate how he felt about their COVID relief bill, and I thought it was fabulous. It really is a disgrace. It's called the COVID Relief Bill, but it has almost

nothing to do with COVID. Yeah, almost nothing, almost nothing to do with COVID, especially when you look at the pittance that was being for to the American people and the President was not having it. Nine hundred billion dollar package provides hard working taxpayers with only six hundred dollars each in relief payments, and not enough body is given to small businesses, not enough, not even close to enough.

And all the pork projects that were shoved in there, all the little ornaments, all the little presents shoved under this Christmas tree of a bill. It really was disgusting to me, and I'm glad the President made a point of telling Congress exactly how he felt. I am asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low six hundred dollars to two thousand dollars or four thousand dollars for a couple, And of course Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and AOC and the squad all stood up

and cheered and said, yes, he's come over to our side. No, he didn't come over to your side. What the President did was he came over to the side of the American people. Decide. He's been on forever. The President said, he wants you to get rid of all the crap in that bill, all the garbage, the pork, the ornaments,

the presence under the tree. I'm also asking Congress to immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items from this legislation and to send me a suitable bill or else the next administration will have to deliver a COVID relief package. And maybe that administration will be me. Maybe maybe, I sure hope. So I'm still holding out hope that Donald Trump will pull out this last minute Hail Mary, and it looks like it's going to have to happen on January sixth. But we'll talk to Tracy Beans of

Uncovered DC about that. She's keeping an eye on all of the legal maneuvering around the last ditch attempts to point out the election fraud that so many of us believe happened on a wholesale level in that November third election. By the way back to this bill, even a Democrat like Tulsey Gabbard thought the six hundred bucks was a slap in the face to the American people. Six hundred bucks I'll tell you in Hawaii that in most cases

won't even cover twenty five percent of your rent. It is an insult and a slap in the face to every single American in this country who is struggling because of this COVID pandemic. It is it's an insult, and I'm glad that both Democrats and Republicans are standing up and saying that it's an insult. More importantly, I'm glad that people are pointing out that in this difficult time, we don't need ridiculous programs like the ones that they're

funding in different parts of the world. The millions to rebuild a boat in Sri Lanka. The half a billion dollars going to study the immigration problem in Central America. Gee, why would people leave those countries and come to America? Oh, I don't know. Maybe because you propose bills that will also allow people here illegally to get checks from the government, to get a check from me and from you. Maybe that's why they're now give me the five hundred million

dollars to study the problem with immigration coming from Central America. Yeah, that's an easy one. That's a no brainer. People, I don't understand these people. They're insane. They're insane. Now, spending is a big deal. Rand Paul put out the Festivus Report today because in fact, it is Festivalus holiday for the rest of us, and he points out a lot of waste, fraud, and abuse. But you know, in this spending bill, there's just so much. Now Runt Paul is

against giving checks to the American people. I'm saying, it's okay as long as we have told them they can't go to work. If the government has said you have to shut down your business because of public health, then we the people, the rest of the people have to help out those folks. That's exactly how that works. But Rand Paul was not very happy about some of the proposals of giving money to people in this relief bill.

To so called conservatives who are quick to identify the socialism of Democrats, if you vote for this spending montrosity, you are no better. When you vote to pass out free money, you lose your soul and you abandon forever any semblance of moral or fiscal integrity. Now I understand what he's saying, but we're not exactly voting to pass out free money. He's not going quietly though. If free money were the answer, if money really grew on trees, why not give more free money? Why not give it

out all the time? Why stop at six hundred dollars a person, Why not a thousand dollars? Why not two thousand dollars? Maybe these new free money Republicans should join thee everybody gets a guaranteed income caucus. I'm not for guaranteed basic income. I'm not supporting that, not at all, not in the least. I don't think that's a wise idea.

But I do go back to my original argument that if the government tells you shut your business, then the government, we the people, all of us have to help temporarily, but we also have to get the country back on its feet, in the country open again. Now the problem here is these bills are so stuffed with all this other garbage, and Mitch McConnell promised us that these bills

would be smarter, leaner targeted. Didn't you metch No sprawling left wing wish lest no unconstrained bailouts for state and local government with no connection to COVID age, just smart targeted bipartisan policies. I'm not so sure about all of that. I look at some of the some of the pork in this bill, in both these bills, and I don't know how much is it qualifying actually for smart targeted relief. It's bipartisan as long as those people want to get reelected.

That's what that's all about. We have so much to get to today, so many, so many different things to get to, including the fact that Joe Biden still is really not answer in questions about his kid, nothing about Hunter. And I feel sorry for the Doocey kid over at Fox who has been stationed outside of Joe Biden's office, outside of Joe Biden's home, outside of the the Center on the waterfront Wilmington, Delaware, and he's constantly shouting his

questions only to be rebuffed. And yesterday Peter Deucy shouted at Joe Biden and asked about Hunter and if if Joe Biden believes in fact that Hunter Biden and the stories about him are just Russian disinformation. The answer is just astounding. Yes, yes, yes, man, You're a one horse pony.

Thank you, thank you. I promise you my justice apart will be totally on its own making his judgments about how Now there's a couple of interesting things there and a couple of crazy things there because Joe Biden said something really ridiculous there. But he did say that he still believes that all of the allegations about Hunter our Russian disinformation. He still believes that, and maybe that's because

he watches MSNBC or CNN. And well, we will get to the media shame for twenty twenty because there is just so much media shame to go around. I've got some of the greatest clips of the year, my top ten moments of media shame this year. But what in the heck was Joe Biden saying to Peter Doocey, God Love, God Love you man, You're a one horse pony. What does that even? God love you man, You're a one

horse pony. I think he meant to go back to the other insult that he had, you're a dog faced pony soldier, and he said that to a young lady I think it was in Iowa when he asked her if she'd ever been to a caucus before, and she said yes, and he called her a liar and said she was a dog faced pony soldier. Which I'm wondering if a dog faced pony soldier is any different than what you're a one horse pony as opposed to a two horse pony or a multi I don't understand it.

All right. I'm going to step aside for a moment. It's Michael Pelka in for my buddy buck Sexton on the buck Sexton Show. A lot to get to tonight, Yes, a lot to get to tonight, including the most horrific embarrassing moments from the media in twenty twenty. We'll get to it just around the corner on the buck Sexton Show. Thanks for listening to The bus Sexton Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever

you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelka sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton and happy to be here, thrilled to be here. Hope you and yours are having a great end of the year. I know it's a strange year, maybe the weirdest year ever, but we have to make good happen when we can, and I'm trying to have a little fun tonight as well as cover the news of the day. For example, I want to poke fun at the mainstream media. Who doesn't.

It's just such a wonderful sport and there are so many opportunities to do so. This year, the mainstream media lost its mind. Trumped arrangement syndrome took over MSNBC, CNN just totally swamped by the trump't arrangement syndrome, the hatred of the president, ninety plus percent negative in terms of story content, and then we find out that so much of it was made up, so much of it was

Bravo Sierra. So with the help of Tom Elliott over at Grabean, a company that puts together a lot of clips from the news, I have gathered what I consider ten of the most egregious media moments from the past year. Ten moments from the mainstream media that actually should be in the Hall of Shame for twenty twenty and maybe for all eternity. We might need longer than we have tonight to get through all of this. Number ten comes in with the January moment. We started off the year

with Donald Trump doing something amazing. The commander in chief authorized the death, the killing, the execution of a terrorist, a guy who has American blood on his hands, Costumed Sulimani. Remember that guy, Yeah, we killed him, graveyard dead. And yet the mainstream media, well, they wanted to make this guy a hero. They wanted to make him to be some kind of a martyr. This actually went out over

the airwaves. Consum Sulimani was no ordinary general. The US officially classified him as a terrorist, but in Iran he was a national hero. He was a hero. He's regarded as personally incredibly brave. The troops love him. I was trying to think of somebody. I was thinking him to Gaul, a smart, charismatic, ruthless, strategic and bold. His power made a running's proud and apparently his power made CNN and MSNBC proud too. They love the guy. They called him

a scholar, a hero. Yeah, Anderson Cooper compared to Charles de Gaul. It's embarrassing. And only more embarrassing was the way that MSNBC and CNN treated the impeachment of the president,

which happened just a few weeks later. So, Donald Trump's busy paying attention to the coronavirus which is breaking out in China, and he's starting the Defense Production Act with initiating Operation Warp Speed, which got us to the vaccine which is currently being put into the arms of Americans at an amazing rate, already eight months after he authorized it.

Not four years, eight months, just amazing. But no, the mainstream media was all caught up on the houses crazy impeachment of the president, and they wanted to make that impeachment into a religious event, a sacred event. You're watching CNN special life coverage of what can only be described as an historic It will be a busy historic day. It was an historic day on Capitol Hill. This is a historic day here in the nation's capital. Historic day

or another or another historic day. Yeah, this is history unfolding. There's a sacramental quality of this. There's a there's a ritual. I'm so glad Chris used the word ritual, just the ceremony of it, walking over delivering the articles of impeachment. There is something almost religious to it. I think there's also something about the sort of the excommunication aspect of the thing that French and the French Revolution. I did the guy getting his head taken off here the drum roll?

Why is there a drum roll? So MSNBC and CNN looked at the impeachment of the president, even though it was based on a false premise on a phone call, it was definitely partisan. MSNBC and CNN looked at this as a religious moment, and for them, I guess it is because they have replaced God with government, so when the government does something this big, it's a religious moment

to them. I thought it was really kind of odd and creepy, which is kind of how I described Chris Matthews, even though he's not around TV anymore, odd and creepy. That Matthews, the former altar boy at an insane asylum when he was kid. That Chris Matthews talked about this in terms of a religious event and then also talked about beheading. So in his mind, this was an excommunication

of Donald Trump. And I'm not sure what kind of fever dream he was having that would lead him to believe that a beheading would follow the impeachment of a president. But that was a sign of maybe dumber things to come from Chris Matthews because he has another addition to the countdown of the top ten media shameful moments of twenty twenty. I have so many more to go. Oh yeah, we're going to get to them all, so I have to take a break. When we come back, I will

play you number eight. And oddly enough, it involves MSNBC again. This time though they're not going after Donald Trump. They were feeding on one of their own, which is kind of what they do all the time. Once they run out of Republicans, they go after their own. We'll continue here on the Buck Sex and Show with me Michael Pelca sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton. Thanks for listening to The bus Eston Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get

your podcasts. He's holding the line for America. Buck Sexton is back. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelca sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton. Happy Christmas, Eve. Eve will be saying that all night. Just two days away from Christmas and we're in the middle of doing something that's a little bit of fun. We're having some

fun with the media. I'd like to point out when the mainstream media is totally off base, and they've been totally off base for so long, it's just insane, and some of the insanity deserves special recognition, and that's what we're doing here tonight. It's the Media Hall of Shame. My top ten most shameful moments from the mainstream media in twenty twenty. And I'm not even talking about the way they called the election because that was just expected.

But you know, we're counting backwards from number ten to number one. Coming in at number seven is a mainstream media blunder from MSNBC. And this was unusual because MSNBC did something we've only seen a few times before. They attacked one of their own. Yes, they went after one of their own because one of their own, a Democrat, was threatening to upend the party's plans for who they

wanted to become the nominee. And they couldn't stop Mike Bloomberg from spending money, so they can only mock him. But in their efforts to mock him, they used what could probably best be described as common core math. Math that just gives you a grade because you made an effort. This happened on MSNBC's Eleventh Hour with Brian Williams. The guy used to be the top of the network news anchors until he put himself in a bunch of stories

that he was not in and conflated his history. And so he's now relegated to the eleventh Hour on MSNBC on a second or third rate cable channel. But this actually happened. They went after Mike Bloomberg. Somebody tweeted recently that actually, with the money he's spent, he could have given every American a million dollars. Got it. Let's put it up as great Bloomberg spend five million, adds US

population three hundred and twenty seven million. Don't tell us if you're ahead of us on the math, he could have given each American one million dollars and I've had lunch money left over. It's an incredible way of putting it. It's an incredible way of putting it. It's true. It's disturbing. No, it's not true. What is disturbing is you bobos didn't do the math. Nobody checked the facts, Nobody put that in their Bomar brain calculator to see if the numbers

added up. It's not even close. If you have three hundred and thirty million dollars and you give everybody a million dollars, it's not thirty two billion or whatever Bloomberg has in the bank. It's well beyond that. We're getting into the trillions. People. But NBC and MSNBC, we're not the worst. Those titles of being the worst the most embarrassing media outlet this year, well seeing an MSNBC might

share the awards. Equally bad In seventh place was the mainstream media's coverage of the pandemic in the very early days the pandemic, initially because Donald Trump was paying attention to it, because Donald Trump was blocking air travel from Wuhan. Remember we set up the blockade, the ban of air travel from China, and Joe Biden called Donald Trump a xenophope, a racist, and Nancy Pelosi and Bill Deblasia, we're telling

people you got to go to Chinatown and eat. And meanwhile the mainstream media was telling everybody that this pandemic, this coronavirus, was not a problem. How each should Americans be about coronavirus coronavirus is not going to cause a major is the United States? How worried should the average American be given these flu numbers when it comes to coronavirus? Right, so the risk in this country is still deemed to

be low. Okay, that is the risk. You know, the flu, it's already widespread in the US, and it really as much more deadly, is it not? How worried should Americans be? Should they panic? No, Americans do not need to panic. There's an important context we need to keep this in,

and that is that the flu is more deadly. Yeah. Yeah, So that's what they were all saying, CNN, MSNBC, all telling us that we didn't need to worry about the coronavirus, that the flu was more deadly, that anyone who was actually worried about a flu coming out of China was

probably racist. You were a bad person. And then fast forward just a couple of days later, maybe a week or two later, and suddenly, because the word old Health Organization a really bad group of people in bed with China doing everything China told them to do, the World Health Organization went, hold on a second, we got a pandemic here, we got a pandemic. We better mock Donald Trump. And so coming in at number six, the pandemic is now a problem. So actually the virus has become more

dangerous because it can infect more people. It's more easily able to take root into communities. So it's changing in a worse way. This is going to be catastrophe, Bond catastrophe. And Trump wrote on Twitter, don't be afraid of COVID, don't let it dominate your life. What does that mean? Don't be afraid of it? Everyone should be afraid of COVID. Oh my goodness, Nicole. When I saw that Trump, I

mean I literally was overwhelmed. If the White House and their calculation this is about trying to instill a sense of normalcy, then we all know that life can't really feel like it's back to normal. It can't feel Americans can't feel that they have the virus us under control. We have absolutely zero chance, and by zero chance, I mean zero, zero, zero chance of moving past us with

noneld Trump in that job. Yes, yes, the shameful media turning from don't worry about coronavirus to the coronavirus is the worst thing ever. And Donald Trump is to blame That's exactly how they spun it, and they continue to put it that way. CNN today constantly running its body count. These ghouls at CNN cannot get past this, even though we're getting reports out of places like Denver, Colorado, where two people were shot and died and they were listed

as COVID deaths. It's just amazing, just absolutely amazing. Coming in at number five is the mysterious peaceful protests. Remember all the people who were burning and looting. We had a what was it about? Oh? I guess it was about a billion dollars in damage in Minneapolis after the George Floyd killing. Horrible killing, by the way, but no reason to burn down your town and destroy businesses and people had nothing to do with it. But it was

a peaceful protest, wasn't it. Wasn't it mainstream media, that ain't a riot what we're seeing right now in Minneapolo Broke, I think this is a march. Really, as they're coming off, it's peaceful, they're saying, peaceful protest. People are risking COVID to explain to this country that work fed up goodness for the looters man. Any reasonable person would say we shouldn't be destroying other people's property. But these are not reasonable times. Please show me where it says the protests

are supposed to be polite and peaceful. I'll tell you where it says that. I'll tell you where it says that mister Cuomo, the lesser Cuomo one nn it says that in the First Amendment, peaceful protest is there. It's it's not violent protests that you guys call peaceful. And meanwhile, in the background of many of those shots were burning stores, fires, looting, all of that stuff. But you guys go ahead and

keep calling it a peaceful protest. You're as confused about that as you are about what happened with NASCAR, aren't you? You idiots? NASCAR is investigating a horrible, incidental, horrifying, racing, jarring, disturbing, ugly, howardly discussing reminder of who again this sport is for a noose found in the gas stall of Bubba Wallace. Do you think it's surprising? So that surprising at all?

It's just not shocking to anybody. And NASCAR is often considered a sport that is tethered to wipe folk to the South. As much as NASCAR may try to distance itself from that. It's a living, breathing part of this for working. Yeah, the Bubba Watson or Bubba Wallace a news controversy, the door pull it was not a news It was a thin rope. And they started removing rope then from home depots and hardware stores because people were terrified that someone would tie in noose and that would

destroy the world. It was so embarrassing what happened with all that, But I guess we had a dialogue, so everything will be okay. There was no racism, there was no clan protest there. The media also lost his mind over Donald Trump, and they were speculating that if Donald Trump lost the election, he would become a dictator and the military would take over and keep him in office.

I think we were looking at a potentially a trial run for a kind of a genuine attempt to through intimidation and potentially through worse, to try to to try to steal this election. We have to be prepared for things that this nation has never faced before, and unfortunately that could involve the use of you know, these forces are just the president's own version of martial law. Since the real military has kind of pushed back from doing that.

And is there anybody, having watch Donald Trump for the last three and a half years who doesn't think that Donald Trump would try to employ martial law if he thought it was the only way you could stay in power. And you people are crazy, And yet there are crazier moments from the mainstream media from this year. I still have three more to go. I'll share them with you after the break. Michael Pelka and for Buck Sexton on the buck Sexton Show, You're enough Freedom d. This is

the buck Sexton Show podcast. It's Michael Pelker wrapping up the first hour of the Buck Sexton Show. I'm in the middle of County down the top ten most shameful moments of the mainstream media in twenty twenty. My choices with an assystem or friends at Graby and thank you Tom Elliott. And in looking at these, there are some that are particularly offensive and egregious. And with the final three here, you might disagree with me on some of them, but then again you might agree. So let's have a

little fun, shall we. Coming in at number three is the mainstream media's embarrassing moments. When Donald Trump visited Mount Rushmore on July third, The President made a very patriotic and fantastic speech, but all the mainstream media could think about was racism, of course, because that's all they see

is race. Today, President Trump is going to South Dakota for what has become a controversial trip to Mount Rushmore, the mother of all photo ops, Mount Rushmore, and we know why this president just can't resist going there, where he'll be standing in front of a monument of two slave owners and on land rustled away from Native Americans. These people would love to see Mount Rushmore removed. They would just love to see Mount Rushmore dynamited and taken down.

Let's face it, that's what they're up to. It's one of the more embarrassing moments and was also one of Donald Trump's more inspired and stronger speeches of the year. And he gave some great ones, including the address last night telling Congress you better fix this COVID funding thing coming in at number two and this one. It saddens me that we won't have him to kick around much anymore.

Chris Matthews retired from MSNBC this year. Kind of got shoved out the door because there was just too much me too evidence against Chris Matthews and the creepiness that was him on television, not just the thrill up his leg, but how he treated women was so creepy. Chris Matthews was watching a clip featuring Jamie Harrison, the guy who ran against Lindsey Graham for the Senate in South Carolina,

and he's getting ready to interview Jamie. But Chris Matthew sees the clip which had Tim Scott, another black man on it. But Chris Matthews, he's one of those old people who apparently thinks all people of color look the same. This actually happened on television, with people having to correct him live, including Jamie Harrison. Jamie, I see a standing next to the guy. You're gonna be right there, maybe maybe maybe Lindsey Graham. Jamie, who's that? I'm sorry, Oh,

it's the other, said j Scott. What am I saying? Big mistake? Mistaken identity, sir? Sorry? Yeah, yeah, yeah, big mistake, mistaken identity, sir. Sorry. Chris Matthews pushed out not long after that. But I think my favorite most embarrassing moment of the year was sort of a collection of Mika Brasinsky moments, because Mika Brasinsky hates Donald Trump so much she appears to have lost her ability to even as the young people say, here's a little bit of MICA's meltdowns.

There's clear disdain that I have for this president, from his paid off porn star to russialize racism in Charlotte's children in cages. You are pathetic. Every day this president looks more ridiculous. Wake up, talk about dits, talk about a dizzy stupid, botched response. It's idiotic, and you're terrible. You're wrong. How stupid can you be? If you're sensing a little intensity here, I'm a little amp, a little amped up. I'd say Donald Trump is living rent free

in your head, lady. He is there and he ain't leaving. Donald jump Trump has a permanent residency in MICA's brain. Apparently has plenty of room up there. Those moments are just a collection that I have put together my favorite top ten embarrassing media moments. As I said, you could probably include Election night when the mainstream media just couldn't wait to call the election for Joe Biden because they

hate Donald Trump so much. And now we're going to wait until I don't know, January sixth, maybe to see what the heck happens. Maybe there'll be a little protest in Congress. We're going to talk to Tracy Beans from Uncovered DC and find out what's going on, what's currently planned. There may also be a little bit of a good trouble happening in DC. On January sixth, Donald Trump suggested, everybody show up in Washington. I think I'm gonna be there.

We'll find out. Anyway, We've got a lot more to get to tonight, Michael pell get in for my friend buck Sexton, and I'll be here all night long, plus a few days next week. On The buck Sexton Show, We're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the buck Sexton Show podcast. Buck Sexton decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, you're a great American again. This is the buck Sexton Show. Pumas CIA analysts, No,

Welcome back to the buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelka here the Godfather, back in for my buddy buck Sexton. I'm excited because it's Christmas Eve Eve. You know, it's almost Christmas, but it's not quite Christmas, so we can still be a little slack while we're having to be at work and there no parties at work, so you know, it's it's a relaxed evening, but it's also an important evening, not just because it's close to Christmas, but because we have my friend, one of the coolest people on the

planet earth, Tracy Beans from Uncovered DC, joining us. Hello, my friend Tracy Beans. Oh shuck's happy Merry Christmas Eve Eve, as my co host today said, Mary, Mary Christmas Eve. You have a podcast that people should know about, right, Oh, yes, thank you. It's called Dark to Light with Frank and

Beans Dark Delight with Franken Beans. Well, I happen to be a devotee of your work at Uncovered DC, and you and I have conversations on a semi regular basis about what the heck is going on in the world. And you are someone I appreciate because you're dedicated to the truth without party. And I know you are a conservative, but I also know you're not afraid to call out conservatives when they do the wrong thing, and that is truly one of the things I respect about you so much.

But I'm glad you're here tonight because we need to talk. We need to talk about what's going on, especially as it relates to election challenges leading up to January sixth, and what could happen in the Joint Session of Congress. Where are we on all this Tracy. You know, there's a lot of hearing still going on. There's a hearing

going on that went on this afternoon in Georgia. And there are people seriously considering now meeting in these states and decertifying their original vote and recertifying President Trump electors. This is this is one of the other kind of tangents that we're seeing happen now when we're putting pressure as the American people on our state representatives in those contested states to make sure they do the right thing.

There was an exact a report. It is entitled the Chairman's Report of the Election Law Study Subcommittee of the Standing Senate Judiciary Committee, put out in Georgia just days ago. Kind of flew under the radar, but the introduction, the executive summary portion it says the November third, twenty twenty general election was chaotic and any reported results must be viewed as untrustworthy. Is this is this fifteen page document untrustworthy?

You say? And yet they've been certified. I mean yes, which is why in recommendation H, which people are like, oh, this is old, it's it's I mean, it's the seventeenth that came out. Who cares? This is what they say in H Mike, They say the Legislature should carefully consider

its obligations under the Constitution. If a majority of the General Assembly concurs with the findings of this report, the certification of the election should be rescinded, and the General Assembly should act to determine the proper electors to be certified to the Electoral College in the twenty twenty race. Since time is of the essence, the Chairman and Senators who concur with this report recommend that the leadership of the General Assembly and the Governor immediately convened to allow

further consideration by the entire General Assembly. So that came out on the seventeenth and it says should they recommend the Governor and the Assembly should convene immediately. And it's been a week. Where where is immediately in all of this, Well, it's it's getting through the swamp infested governor and people around him who won't call the General Assembly meeting, and there's no way to force it. It all sits on

the governor's shoulders. You know what I would do, No, I would get all of my partners in crime there together, and I would get the General Assembly together anyway and go ahead and do the business of the people. That's what I would do if I were them. So is there a snowball's chance in hell that this General Assembly will be called by the governor or assembled by all the people who agree with this report from the seventeenth Well, there always is a chance. Whether or not it's a

good chance is a different story. They're doing this hearing, you know, this afternoon, they did this hearing, and well it's the election officials basically saying, well, you know, we really kind of wanted to get rid of the signature requirement on absentee ballots anyway, because it's disenfranchising people whose signature of change. I mean, they're still they're saying, yeah, people double voted, but it was innocent. It wasn't something

that happened on it. This is where we're at. So you can use that to gauge whether it will happen.

But the point of this is they'll have this AMMO in their hands now, right, So any US congressperson who there's now a growing coalition of them who are going to challenge electors, and any US Senator who has the guts, perhaps Rand Paul on the eve of his Festivus airing of grievances, can get together with some other of his buddies and stand up and use this information that's now been submitted into committee in the States to contest Georgia's electors.

So that takes us to January sixth. And yeah, while today is festivals the holiday for the rest of US, January sixth is rapidly approaching. We have a handful of elected officials and some who have not yet been sworn in, who are saying they're going to stand up. The last time we did this in twenty sixteen, the Democrats interrupted Joe Biden eleven times to object to the electoral count.

Do we really feel like there's momentum building on this. Well, I don't believe last time, and you can correct me if I'm wrong that there were competing slates of electors certified and scent as well. Yes, inventh, you're right, You're absolutely right, because it was just a noise at that point. There was no real chance that a competing state or slate of electors in any of those contested states could

step up. And now we have slates in enough states that if they are recognized, if the challenges stand, that would push Biden below to seventy correct. If they vote and the electors or they either vote to completely discount the electors or take the Trump's slate of electors, he would be below the necessary threshold, and then the vote would go to the House of Representative state delegations, of

which we have twenty seven I believe. Yeah, yeah, that's true, and the House would select the president and the Senate would select the vice president. Correct. This is so crazy, it is, but this is where we are, and it's not because there's no evidence of voter fraud, like everybody can. Anybody who's still saying that has got to be out

of their minds. Yeah, point yeah. I think with everything, especially the thousands of affidavits that we saw with the state, just that statement from this report that they didn't have any faith in this in the results of this election speaks volumes. But we need we need Pennsylvania, Georgia and what one other state to make this happen. Yeah, something

like that it's any combination of a certain number, you know. Um. But the crazy thing is, Mike, you know a lot of people are, oh, this is the Trump's late of electors that included this report. No, this is literally a congressional committee or a Senate committee inside of Georgia's state government. This is not you know, some this is the people that are running government in Georgia that are saying this. It's disturbing to me that the governor will not respond.

That's what really bothers me more than anything, that a Republican governor will not step up. And I'm not sure what he's afraid of. I have a really Georgia. If you take take a look at the electoral college map, take a look at the map the results of this election on a map, Mike, Yeah, it is a sea of red of it. There are like seven or eight little spots of blue, and guess where they all are. Democrat played Fulton County and all the police we're having

these problems right now. Yeah, Well, we know that that Donald Trump won more counties than anybody ever expected. I think he set a record for a president who was running for reelection. And this just curious to me. That these counties all turned up blue and they were just enough to push Joe Biden across the finish line in all of those contested states. And it's just maddening to me. Okay, So we've got we've got Georgia and all this discussion,

We've got hearings going on, we have January sixth. There is talk Tracy Beans from Uncovered, DC that people are going to be gathering in Washington, d C. On January sixth, as the President has suggested, will you be there and what can you tell us might be going on? The Commander in chief has spoken, has any Yes, he has. And while I'm not enlisted in any branch of the military, and when I tried, I was told I might do

better in the private sector. Ah yeah, the Marine said, son, yea, we don't think you'll fit in here, And I think they were right. But while I'm not a member of the military, i am a faithful member of the Trump Army and I'm planning on being there. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm trying to find out a way to broadcast from there.

What's going on that you can tell us about. Well, I know there's a big conglomeration of folks that are going there, Like, I mean, I'm hearing more than the first go round, Mike, when you and I spoke from outside the Willard Hotel right before the Antifa attack. I'm expecting there to be more people than that, and that was a million people easy, So I'm looking forward to it. I don't know who's organizing a speaking event or rally.

I think that it's a bunch of patriots that'll be down there to let Congress know and the Senate know that we're here. We're loud and you can't ignore us, which I think is exactly what we should be doing. You know, as a journalist who studies the facts of this stuff, this is I keep on saying, we're at a precipice in this country right now. So if you can get there, I would be there. We don't know exactly where yet, but it's not a very big city,

it's not a very big swamp. So so if I were to be telling people where I think people might gather, can I if I guess and you can tell me, I'm warm, like like Freedom Plaza, you know, Yeah, that might be a place where you would go behind the White House. Yeah, freedom plazas any of them, like the Lincoln Memorial or the Supreme Court potentially somewhere around that area. Yes, in Capital Building obviously, so you know they're they're very

the hotspots. But I always always seems that Freedom Plaza is a place to be in the beginning. Well, that's a good idea, that's a good I think maybe that's where I will be. I will wear a red hat. Maybe you can find me. I might be able to distinguish you from the rest of the folks if you're

wearing red. Thank you. Her name is Tracy Beans. She truly is one of my favorites, and if you are a person who's interested in the politics, you should visit Uncovered DC dot com on a daily basis, not just weekly, but daily. Tracy Beans, my friend, and Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. I will see you in person, I'm hoping God willing. January sixth, Big hugs all around, Merry Christmas to everyone. Thanks for listening to the bus Us and

Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the Buck Sex and Show. Michael Pelka here in for my friend Buck Sex. Then Yes, the Godfather back in putting together the old team, the Blaze team, if you will. Happy to be here, thrilled to fill in for Buck. And I missed this audience. So many of you reach out on social media. I appreciate it more than I can ever tell you. Hope you're getting ready to have

a merry Christmas. A couple of things I wanted to go back to after we talked with Tracy Beans from Uncovered DC, And yes, I really am serious about getting to Washington, d C. On January sixth. I know it's January. I know it's going to be cold, but that happens. It's winter, people, and we have to be able to

stand up no matter what for our republic. Now, there's another topic that we didn't get to with Tracy because we were running out of time, and that is a topic regarding the Durham investigation, the ongoing John Durham investigation into the Russia probe that really stinks to high heaven.

And John Solomon was on Newsmax last night and John Solomon was talking about something that a lot of people missed, and that is an executive order signed by Donald Trump, an executive order that could have serious repercussions that could ripple all the way through this investigation. What am I talking about, Well, I'll let John Solomon explain it to you. So it got slowed down. But this is a very active, serious case focusing on some very senior FBI leaders who

ran the Russia probe. Now, all of that is really important. The probe got slowed down, most of because of COVID, But these are probes into senior FBI officials who were involved in this Russia probe that we're messing with. Donald Trump. I think when it's all done, it may not be at the timetable we all wanted. We certainly wanted it before the election. People will be satisfied by the jurisprudence and the punishments and the indictments and things that are

about to come. Did you hear that jurisprudence, punishments, indictments that are about to come. Tell me more, John Solomon. And something important happened tonight, and if you saw it, but President Trump signed an executive order allowing John Durham to present classified information to the grand jury. That's a

big deal that doesn't happen very often in government. It tells you that Durham is building a criminal case and there was something in our CIA or FBI secrets that needed to be shared with grand jurors in order to bring criminal charges. That's a sign of progress. I think we're going to know where Durham is in the not so distant future. Much slower than we thought, but a very active criminal investigation, a very active criminal investigation into

senior level members of the FBI. This may have been the most important news of the day yesterday. Well, the mainstream media was all obsessed with this COVID relief bill and of course the pork laden spending bill that was attached to it, and the President's four minutes of genius calling out the Congress both sides on their pork projects

and how they stiffed the American people. He was also putting out an executive order that was going to make life very, very difficult for the people who messed with him and messed with his campaign and with his administration. And that executive order, which allows classified information to be shown to grand juries is also extended indefinitely, which means

that Durham can continuous investigation. Well passed January twentieth, if God forbid, Joe Biden gets dragged across the finish line and becomes the president of the United States, It'll be very difficult for Joe Biden to stop any investigation into his son, or any investigation into the Russia probe that was meant to topple the Trump administration. That's the term that A. G. Barr used, topple. He said that it appears this was an effort to topple the Trump administration.

I chose that word specifically, especially today on Attorney General Barr's last day. I'm sorry his tenure ended with people feeling badly about the guy. I think he's a really smart guy. Also think he is one of the reasonable guys in Washington, d C. I wish he would have done more, been a little more aggressive, but that's just me. So keep your eyes on the Durham investigation, keep your eyes on what might be coming out. I don't think we're going to get an early Christmas present tomorrow, like

indictments delivered on Christmas Eve. People would think that's a little too scroogy in if that's even a word. So I hope that maybe we'll get something delivered between New Years and before January sixth. If you know what I'm saying. All right, I'm stepping aside Michael Pelka here sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton on The Buck Sexton Show. And yes, it's Christmas Eve Eve, and we're trying to get to as much as we can and have as much fun as we can at the same time. Thanks

for listening to the bus X and show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio Apple or wherever you get your podcasts. He's holding the line for America. Buck Sexton his back. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Merry Christmas Eve. As I've been saying all day, it

is the day before the day before Christmas. And this is also the day, if we go back in history, when Clement Moore's poem Towards the Night Before Christmas and All through the House was first published in the New York Sentinel, and it was published anonymously. So maybe, maybe maybe we'll get to that reading of the version of that which honors the American soldier. It's a really interesting

and inspiring piece of literature. But I want to get to something a little more from the host privileged card file. I love cars and so I want to talk to somebody about cars, especially as we're finishing up this year and it's the weirdest year ever. I think we can all agree twenty twenty weirdest year ever. But you know, cars kept coming out. A lot of cars came out this year. Maybe a lot of them didn't get noticed because we're all in lockdown. You didn't do test drives.

But I have a friend who does this sort of thing. She is Lauren Fixed the Car Coach. You've seen her on Fox, You've seen her on Fox Business, the Weather Channel. She's a race car driver and inventor all kinds of crazy stuff with Lauren Fix. But she knows cars inside and out. And Lauren is also part of a jury that picks the car, the truck, the utility are of the year. So we need to talk with Lauren Fix the Car Coach. Welcome, my friend, Hello, my friend. Yes,

it is that time of year. We get to announce the final three best car, best utility, and best truck of the year. And that's based on what was available. So it has to be brand new, it has to or completely redone and so there were quite a few vehicles, mostly in the suv market, obviously, but there were still

quite a few cars, even though people aren't necessarily buying them. Now, this is kind of interesting because about three years ago you and I were talking and there was a movement afoot with carmakers around the world to get rid of sedance, that they were going to get rid of sedance because everybody wanted an suv. Has that stopped? Kind of yes, and kind of note. Car manufactures such as Ford and

GM have really cut back. I mean, there's nothing other than a Corvette and the Camaro for now until they get rid of it, which it is, and they've got Mustang and that's it. When you're looking on the Chryso side, you've got Charger, Challenger. That's it. Everything else is gone. So where do you get a sit in if you want one. Well, even Lincoln and Cadillac aren't offering it anymore. They've all switched to SUVs. That means that you have to go to a Japanese or a Korean carmaker in

order to get something. Well, that's interesting. So the Germans are still making a few though, right oh on the Germans. Of course, the Germans because they're about performance, But as far as like everyday Daily Driver. You can buy a Volkswagen, but even they're starting to switch to full SUVs. So you're watching this big transition to performance SUVs. Like Audie has an SQ eight. I mean, you can get a range land Rover Volar Dynamic Edition. I put that thing

into race mode. Holy moly, it's not like my race cards. Zhoust opened up. It was like super impressive. So that was a new vehicle this year as well. There was a lot of really cool things on a lot of electric vehicles, which I'm not the biggest fan of it. I know you are, yeah, but I just think it's kind of neat. Well that's great that innovation continues. So let's talk about this. These are the North American Car,

Truck and Utility of the Year. What's the official name, North American Car Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year Awards. I was a past president. I was a board member for four years, so I helped elevate the brand and raise some money and make big difference. In the differences,

you'll find two things. One, there are three key awards that actually equal sales, and that's Car and Driver, Motor Trend, and our award, the North American Car and Truck of the Year award known as NACTOY and ACTOY, even though there's more initials in there somewhere. But that's one thing and the other thing for consumers it's really important is that consumers, sixty eight percent of them go to third party experts before they make a decision. They're like, I'm

torn between these three four cars. They'll go online and start watching a bunch of YouTube videos and one of them is mine. Car coach reports on we have a podcast Total Car Score, and that together people get information and then they make a disc based on what other people say because nobody wants to buy a car and

later go that was a bad move. Shouldn't have done that? Yeah, I agree, And I look to people like you who actually no cars inside out and drive cars and test cars and take notes, as opposed to somebody goes, oh that car looked cool it to stop light. I'd like to know more. So you're part of this jury of people who select the finalist for the Car the Year.

How is the car the Year picked? Well? Each juror has certain guidelines that we require through NACTOY, and then after that, each juror has their own opinions and that we can't change, so we go with performance and value for the consumer. Reliability, is it knew, what's technologically advanced. There's a lot of things as far as warrantine all that's included too, And it really came down when you look at the finalist, you can really get a good

feel for what was there, and it was impressive. When you're looking at just you know, each vehicle, you say, Okay, that car deserved to be analysts there were that didn't make it, sadly that I thought deserved it. But I'm one of fifty, so I don't get to make all the choices. Okay, so let's hit them up the Car of the Year. What are the three finalists in the Car of the Year. Okay, the number one is the

Genesis G eighty. Now that is an all new vehicle and if you've seen the Genesis line, that's the luxury line for Hunday. They've really stepped up their game. I really liked the G eight and I've reviewed it. There's two engines and I just thought was a really well done car. The next one is the Hondai Elantra, which I am reviewing as we speak, so soon as I get off the phonelume, I'm going to go out and drive away and finish my review. That is all new.

It has basically a small Sonata. So if you saw the Hundai Sonata and you liked it, almost everything from that vehicle has merged onto the Elantra. Few safety features didn't. But in that price point, you're you know, you're talking like starting at nineteen thousand dollars, that's a really good value.

And the third car is the Nissan Sentra, which is all new, more space, more tech, and again same price point that low twenties at max fully loaded it, and that's the G eight is more expensive, but depends when you're looking at the gads competing with the German cars, the Elantra and the Center are compete for value based cars. Well, is that fair to have a car like the Genesis

competing against these two cars that base it like twenty grand. Well, there's ten factors, plus people's personal opinion and m and so that is part of it. The German cars did run as well. I mean we had BMW's in here and audies, we had Mazdas, we had everything, and sadly they didn't make it because they have to hit all of us soon we put in our points. It's not just like one point for this car. It's a it's a division. You get twenty five points and you can

only put a maximum ten on one car. So it forces you to have to vote for other vehicles and it's a good it's a good way to vote. It's all done by Deloitte. So I think I think this is a good fair analysis of the car category of what's new and what's best. Okay, so we have we have that, So Genesis G eight, Elantra and CenTra. What about the truck? I love me and old truck all right, if you want one, let me know because right now they're super collectible and I work in the collector car

market as well. Retter. We just did a podcast on cars they should collect and old Broncos and old board and Chevy trucks are huge money right now. So right now, top of the heat for the truck is my choice, my all in choice. The Ford F one fifty has so many cool new features besides safety that it actually has the ability for you to run a generator off

the bed of the truck. Really and yeah, so they've got a lot of meat things full folding flat seats in case you're traveling long distances and you're hauling something you want to pull into a restrier. It's late used to not be able to fully recline. The seat now goes fully flat, so it becomes a bed. Not while you're driving, obviously, although I'm sure people will do stupid things.

And then the other thing is when the car is in park, you can get the shifter handle to go completely flat, and then the council unfolds and becomes a desk or a table so you can eat, you can work, and so that's also great for real using it as contractors or it's your only vehicle. So I think that at a really nice job with a hybrid engine, a diesel engine, at gas engine, they have a plug incoming. I mean, so they've really stepped up their game and we've got to drive all variants. Of course I like

them loaded massaging seats. You know, it becomes a very expensive truck when you load it up. Next is the Jeep Gladier Majave. If you're really an off roader, which I am not. I have done it, but it's this is not a great fun vehicle on the street, but because it's too rough a ride. But if you're going off road, this is your vehicle that's on the list. And then they RAM fifteen hundred TRX as in the t Rex, as in dinosaur, because they're competing. It'st the

Ford Raptor. I guess dinosaur thing. It's a guy thing. I don't get it. But the RAM fifteen hundred is seven hundred and seven horsepower and it was a freaking blast to drive. We have a new contributor who who is a RAM owner, has been for years, and so he helped me review it. It was a lot of fun. And that thing you can launch it like a race car. It was pretty impressive. So it's a truck with a hellcat engine. A minute, why not? Right, that's true? Why

not America? Okay, let's wrap up with the utility car of the year. What's up for utility? Okay, this is the biggest category. We'll start off with a Ford Mustang Machi. I'm against the naming Mustang. Everybody knows it, Ford knows it. I guess I was mentioned at the corporate meeting. That's a good thing. I asked, I would call it a Ford Mache. It is an all new Suv. It is

Ford's entry level to the all electric market. They have been in there before when they had many years ago they had an escape, so they do have a lot of experience of electric vehicles, but this is all new in every way. If you're thinking about a cool looking SUV that compares with the model, why this would be as close as you're going to get. And there's infrastructure and dealer network. I know you own a Tesla. I

love to throw my little barbs at you. Next is the Genesis GV eighty all new, really impressive, first entry level for Genesis and SUVs. That's my one hundred percent all in choice, just everything they offer. Two row, three row, four Cyland or six. I mean, there was so much tech in this car that the Germans should be upset. And the reason they're upset is they still a bunch of their designers, technicians and motor guys and that's who built a car. So you're gonna see a lot of

German flavor. And then the land Rover Defender, which is an old vehicle from way back when that they've brought the name back. So if you really want someone stands out in the crowd, you can get the Snorkel. You know, if you wanted to like three feet in deep water, this car, I'll do it. You want to go off road, It'll do it. You want to drive it on the street, It's got it. But the price is not reasonable. It's

in the eighties. So I guess if money is no factor and you want a cool statement car, that would be the one to choose, the land Rover Defender. The utility candidates are the Genesis GV eighty, the land Rover Defender, and the Ford Mochi, which we know how you feel about it, Lauren. When do we find out which of these are the car of the year. We vote January second through the fourth, and the announcement is January eleventh.

I will be excited to put that out on National meet. Yeah, and I think this is these are good choices and the winners actually equal sales. So if you see someone winning, when these brands winning, you'll note that the sales and the lots the incentives kind of disappear because these vehicles will be gone, and so make your choices. Maybe now, Thank you, my friend, thank you, Happy holidays. You're in the Freedom, Linde. This is the buck Sexton show podcast.

Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelka in for Buck and we were talking about the Christmas Star. So I pulled Billy halliwell in here, he's one of the great faith writers in this country. Bill, I have to know. I know it's still kind of visible, but was this the star that guided the wise men to Jesus? Yeah? You know, so we can't be one hundred percent sure because there are a bunch of theories about what they saw.

Right Some are saying it was a supernova. Others are saying it was this really interesting essentially alignment of planets, which would have involved Saturn and Jupiter. Now what's interesting about what we're going to see in the skies is that this current one actually involved Saturn and Jupiter. So it's possible. But what's basically happening is that that Saturn and Jupiter are lining up in the sky. It looks like they're colliding, but there's still like four hundred million

miles away from each other. But the way that they line up, it's going to be this bright, amazing star. And I actually saw it last night. This goes from the sixteenth through the twenty fifth. It ends on Christmas. I just find it. I find it really fascinating that it's happening around and on Christmas during a year when we've had so much chaos and pain, right in twenty twenty, and it's almost like this really cool reminder of what the season is about, and of hope and of all that.

So can we be sure that it's the same thing they saw? No, but I think it points us right back to that, which I think is pretty amazing. Well, we can't exactly be sure, but there is science involved in this. Astronomers have been doing the math on this. The astronomers in Rice University in Texas did the math. I'm pretty sure some of the ancient astronomers did the math, and they know where and when these planetary alignments occur. Yes,

and it's all around the same time. So there's every chance that this could have been what was called the star that guided the wise men. I have to interrupt you to to say that this particular alignment, so Saturday and Jupiter will build align every twenty years in the sky or so, but not like this, not this right, this is the first time that this particular alignment has happened in eight hundred years. More than eight hundred years.

It was twelve to twenty six. That was the last time that this alignment happened, and I found it interesting. It's going to happen again in twenty eighty and then not for another four hundred years, So it's it's a notable moment. We know that something similar happened. You know. Again, there's research on this back around the year three, so basically around the time that Jesus was born. So it's

very so interesting to me. But because my thing is like, if we can have this moment of hope, something that points us back to Christmas and it's happening on Christmas, I find that almost a little eerie, but in a positive way, in an interesting way. Then I'll take it because I think we meet that this year. We're talking to Billy Halliwell, he's a friend of mine. He's a faith writer. You can find him. What's the best place, Billy? Faith Wire? Is that the best place to find you?

So I've got pieces over at faith Wire, but I actually write daily over at Insider dot pureflix dot com, and I have a story about about this Christmas star over there, So I'd encourage people to check that out. Okay, Insider dot Pureflix dot com. I also have to bring up your book Playing with Fire that came out earlier. I'm fascinated with this book because it's a book that

as I read it, my jaw kept dropping. You're talking about all of the well known cases of exorcisms that we've talked about in the past, not just the one that inspired William Peter Blattie's book, but other exorcisms. And I have to go back now, a couple months after this book's been out and it's done, well, are you still getting revelations about demons and possessions and exorcisms. I am.

And what's interesting is I've had people reach out to me and they're like, oh, my goodness, I heard your interview somewhere, or I picked up the book, and this is what's happening in my house. When you're talking about spiritual warfare and possession and all that. We tend to look at it as entertainment, but there are a lot of people out there, and yes, some people are having mental afflictions, but others are strengthening things that they cannot explain,

and that that we can actually explain. When we look at scripture and so that was the whole motivation for writing, you know, Playing with Fire. And I love hearing from people on it because it kind of reinforces this idea. And we know that this is true because we see it in the box office numbers. It's a topic people want to talk about and people are interested in it, but they don't always feel comfortable having the conversation. Again,

the book is Playing with Fire. His name is Billy halliwell, my friend, thank you for talking about the Christmas Star and thanks for spending some time with me. Christmas and Demons. That's we covered it. So there you go. I'm happy to be on anytime, Michael Pelka, anytime you're in the Freedom. This is the buck Sexton Show podcast. Buck Sexton de coding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence, no mistake. Bring you're a great American again. This is the Buck

Sexton Show. Thomas Cia Analyston. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelka here sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton, giving him a little R and R, a little time off. In fact, I'll be here today and I'll come back a couple of days next week, and let's get this year wrapped up properly, and then we'll start worrying about twenty twenty one. Although I have good thoughts about twenty twenty one, I'm also focused on the

vaccine and the virus and all that stuff. And I rely on a friend of mine, My buddy, doctor Michael Roisen from the Cleveland Clinic, is my go to guy for medical information medical research. He is the man behind the Ageproof Life series of books. He likes to tell people to live younger, and he also put out a book last year, a book called What to Eat When, And this year he added the what to Eat When Cookbook,

which I use in my own kitchen. And he's joining us here on the show to talk about the vaccines and yeah, whether or not you should take one over the other, etc. Doctor Roysen, welcome, my friend. I am glad I'm here, and I should I mention that it's a great holiday gift if you're in the mood for a lastment a gift what to Eat When Cookbook. Oh that's perfect, yes, because everyone's other half loves to be given a book that says, here, make this stuff for me. Yeah,

no it is. It's actually your cookbook is so simple and so easy to put together. And look, if you want to eat like real healthy, healthy, healthy stuff, all of it's in there. But if you want to eat like delicious stuff like chocolates and desserts, it's all in there too. So it covers everything and all but those that are healthy and the way we make them. Remember, food is a relationship. You only want to eat what loves your body back. You wouldn't marry someone who's trying

to kill you. You shouldn't eat food that's trying to kill you. The good news about this is everything in the book is trying to help you live longer, younger, and it's not only healthy, but it tastes great and that's the key. Yeah, I agree with you, and I'm so into that. I didn't realize we were going all doctor phil on everybody today. Food is a relationship. You wouldn't put anything in your body if you knew it was gonna kill you. But we do that anyway, and

you don't have to. And that's what doctor Royson's all about. Live Younger. I love that slogan, doc do you need that on merchandise? So we need to have doctor Royson March that says live younger. It's a good idea. I'm just throwing them out here. Doc, I'm just spitball, but I want to get to a little discussion about a

couple of things that are related to COVID. We do have the second vaccines now on the ground and delivered to a lot of places around the country, the Maderna vaccine, and we've had the Fiser vaccine out for a week. I'm guessing there are more coming. If you're offered the vaccine,

should you jump and take it. There aren't any more coming till about mid Januaries, when the first time we know that we're going to get a phase three report in that is when that sometime in mid January, maybe late januarys when Jay and Jay's will terminate or will complete its Phase three first two month analysis, and sometime around there also for the AstraZeneca Oxford vaccine. Okay, so

two more in the pipeline, but maybe about a month away. So, as I was wondering, if you get the opportunity, you should jump and take one of these two and not wait for another. Yeah, the data, the two month data, and that's all we have so far on toxicity and meaning on safety and risks and benefits give you. And then when you factor in both deaths and long hauler, it's about a thousand to one odds for both of

them in benefit. If you're under sixteen without coal morbidities, meaning the benefit to risk is a thousand to one, there is risk with the thousand to one, and the benefit to risk if you're over sixty or have comorbidities is about ten thousand to one as a minimum, And

so you take those odds anytime. Now we don't have long term data, but the longer it goes after these people, you know, we'll have two million people inoculated with FISER pretty soon, and I understand eight million with Maderna by will have their first inoculation by December twenty eighth. And with that, if you've offered it, clearly there will be some more data on safety, and the longer it takes there'll be more data showing how safe it is or if there is a rare side effect. But right now

the data very very good. Now, remember it says ninety four protective. That's a two months. That's a peak protection. So we don't expect that protection to continue for the next five years. We don't know how long it'll last, etc. Well, it looks like it'll last for a while. Doc if if we get to the point where the virus has no host to jump to, you know whatever, herd immunity is there with all everybody or majority of us vaccinated.

Does a virus eventually die and go away or does it get like a dormant thing and wait for an opportunity to come back to life. It doesn't totally go away, meaning even polio now is in and that's the problem. You want to wipe it out totally so there are no cases, so it ain't any place and doesn't have an animal reservoir. If you get that like smallpox, you wipe it out and you can keep the vaccine in

a small container if you will. The vaccine doses in a small container in the World Health Organization or in our CDC just in case there is an outbreak. But you can't have it exist in any country in the world because we just are too able and the virus is too able to hitchhike or ride on any old plane. So the problem is you need to really wipe it out, and that's going to take with this virus as effective as it is, it's going to take a major effort

like we had for smallpox or like we have. And the problem is there are a couple of people, a couple of countries that don't believe in vaccinating against polio, and consequently polio can rear its ugly head again and that's why we still have to immunize against it. Well, I'm glad you brought up the contagiousness of this covid and we're now seeing this new I guess adapted version of it that's showing its head in England, and I understand it's here. Should we be worried about the new

permutation the virus has taken on? This permutation doesn't look bad. What do I mean by that? It is more infectious, but not more lethal, and still vulnerable to the vaccines and the native immunity from the first There are two mutations that were beginning to hear about, and we don't

know how real these are. One is from mink in Oregon and the other one is from one of the countries in Africa, where mutation is in the spiked protein significant enough so that it may be that the it may be in a way that avoids either our own antibodies against it, our own neutralizing antibodies, or the ones created by a vaccine. By the vaccine so far, those are the ones you got to worry about because you

don't want to. I mean, they will still attack us even though we've seen the majority of this virus again because we have neutralizing we produced neutralizing antibodies against the spiked protein makeup, and so that's so more than the one in Great Britain, the ones we're hearing just a little bit about from apparently some animals minx in Oregon

and from a small group in Africa. That's what you want to totally isolate because those are they if we don't have immunity and the vaccines we're producing are not effective against the new mutations, we're in big doodo. Okay, we don't want to be in big doodo. Doc, I got a hot minute left. I heard today, out of all the comorbidities, obesity is the worst and it makes your body more susceptible to these kinds of viruses. So that do we need a greater impetus to work on

getting a little bit lighter in the coming year. Man, You know everybody wants to get lighter for just you know, just to look good. But boy, you're you are right on. We need a It's the major cause of type two diabetes. It's the major cause of heart disease. It's a major cause of cancer. It's a major cause of dementia. Um. I don't know what else to say other than and in addition, it's obviously a major cause of mental if

you will, attitude, not being positive about yourself. So this is a this is a thing that we should tackle on. I don't know how to do it other than to say, let's get after it. I know how to do it. Everybody, get doctor Royson's book What to Eat When and What to Eat When Cookbook and follow it. Make it your dietary bible. Get that better relationship with food for the coming year. Thank you, bye, fred, I appreciate you. Thank you. And there he goes Doctor Michael Roysen of the Cleveland Clinic.

Do you know Roisen also gets a mountain of research every week on all the newest trends in medicine. You know what we should do Next week we should have him back and we'll discuss some of the latest trends on how you can actually do what he says, and live younger. It's pretty simple stuff. He's changed the way I live my life. So why don't we do that. We'll do politics and news, a little lifestyle next week when we get doctor Royson back in here, and we'll

talk about health and medicine and all that stuff. All right, Michael Palka stepping aside. Still more to come on The buck Sexton Show. Thanks for listening to The bus Sexton Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to The buck Sexton Show. We have to do a little good works this holiday season. I need you to meet a friend of mine, a veteran who served this country. Now

she's helping other vets in need. My buddy, Gretchen Smith from Code of Vets. Hello, Gretchen, Welcome. Thank you for having me Mike. This truly is a blessing to be able to share our mission to the holidays. Well, I have to ask you, are those dog tags or dogs tags that are rattling? Those are dog tags? I figured that I don't know if you had a dog running around there, but I hear the dog tags Gretchen, as I said, served this nation. She has many members of

her family who served. Her father served, and we lost your dad. And your dad's battle at the end of his life was one of the things that inspired you to begin this charity that directly helps veterans. I got that right, correct, Oh, yeah, yes you did. Dad was very chaotic throughout his life once he came home from the jungle. I never really did get the help that he needed with his PTSD, and we end up losing Dad to his battle when he was fifty seven years old. So, yeah,

this is such a personal journey for me, Mike. And you know, I've been able to share my dad's story with many many veterans, saved quite a few lives and inspired some others to go get the help that they need. Well, that is so important. And I know your family just throughout this this month, the last month since I think it was just before Thanksgiving, I heard your household had the COVID run through it. Yeah, we did. There were fourteen of us that that got it. We you know,

we all survived. We were sick for several days, but we made it three We pushed through. We're all feeling great now. But yeah, it was. It was quite the experience for the family, for all of us to get it at once. We kind of just muddled through it in the best we kid But yeah, yeah we survived fourteen. Did you live in a barracks? No, No, just we you know, we all got together for Thanksgiving. My father

in law has advanced to Mincio. We just don't know how long we're going to have him around, and we needed to be there for him. And so, you know, we're not sure how we got it, but somehow we did, but we made it through. We pushed it together as a family. Okay. Well, one of our buddies is a doctor at the Cleveland Clinic and he tells everybody be wary of the long haul syndrome, the long haulers and

the brain fog. And he said, make sure that even if you feel like you've you've gotten through it, get as much sleep as you can, and don't push it too hard until you feel the fog clear, because it will it will come back a little bit if you're not careful, So please please be careful. I know you're

working hard though. As we approach Christmas and the end of the year, the Code of vets mission has gotten bigger you've felt, I think just judging from your posts on Twitter, you felt like there's a surge in veterans who are reaching out and it's it's getting very large and we need to help. I guess, yeah, it is, Mike. We're experiencing an unprecedented surge we've had in the past. I want to say maybe four days, roughly three hundred

veterans have applied for direct assistance through us. It's a it's a massive undertaking for it because we are a smaller Oregon and team, but we have such a broad reach across the nation because we operate on social media, so we you know, our name is out there and we've grown so much, so we you know, we're taking these vets on one at a time. I actually did one post for sixty five veterans with one hundred children

that are involved. We're you know, we have we're looking, you know, we're looking to try to secure them with roughly seventy seven thousand dollars. And there's a common thread, Mike that we need to talk about with these vets that they're running into, and that's utility disconnects. It's a

true issue food and consistencies. So those are the one of the two top things that we're really zoning in on with these particular veterans coming our way is we're trying to keep their water running, lights on, and we're trying to keep food on the table through the holidays. That's so important for them to be able to have, you know, to be able to sit down as a family and eat together, and to have food in general.

I mean food is a necessity. Yeah, it is. Let me, Gretchen, hang on, I need to talk directly to the audience. Do you guys hear what we're doing here. We're trying to get help to veterans, people who gave us our freedom, protected our freedom, and now because of whatever, they are compromised in their security, in food, security, in their living situation.

And what this lady does she leads a mission of a small group of people who vets these veterans, finds out which ones truly are in need, and then she collects donations and they distribute it directly to them. They spend two percent, two sets. Out of every dollar people managed to give, two sets goes to paying the operational costs, which is so minimal. So I can't say it enough. Code of vets dot com, Code of vets dot com.

If you can go there, if you can skip a Starbucks Double Cafe, Moca latte, whatever it is, for a day or two or a week, and can give it to a vet, you can keep lights on a hundred kids involved in this latest push. Gretchen, it breaks my heart every time I hear the stories, but it also lifts my heart when I hear you talk about the people who've stepped up, and I really, I really think you are on a divinely inspired mission. Here is codavets

dot com the right place to send everybody. Yes, yes, if you're out there and you're fortunate enough to you know you're still working, please consider giving five ten dollars go to codavets dot com. Codavets dot com, and we're up against the clock. Merry Christmas to you, Gretchen Smith. Thank you so much. God bless Mary Christmas, God bless you. And we'll be right back on the Buck Sexton Show.

Thanks for listening to The bus Sexton Show podcast. Remember or to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. He's holding the line for America. Buck Sexton is back. Welcome back to the buck Sexton Show. Mica Opelca sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton. You can find me online on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. Mike Opelca, or just look for stunt brain all one word you'll find me. I have some questions about things in the law,

things that relate to the vaccine. Yeah, there are questions about whether or not people can be forced to take it, can they use a religious exemption? And I also have a crazy question about a lawsuit that I saw in the paper today. So let's get our buddy in here. Attorney author, public speaker Wendy Patrick. She is a prosecutor and gives us her legal opinions or at least some direction on things. Wendy, Welcome, my friend. It's always a pleasure,

my happy to be here. Well, I'm glad you're here because there are a couple of stories that I needed to pick your legal brain on, and they relate to weird cases in the law and their current So I figured, you know, people might be looking at these same cases and saying, well, what the heck is going on here? For example, I sent you one and I think I know how Judge Judy would rule, even though she wouldn't

like it. I'm talking about the case of the guy who's suing his parents because they destroyed his rather large collection of pornography. And I've never seeing anything like this case. But there it is. Yeah, you know, there it is, indeed, and it's one of those cases that you just can't make these things up, you know. I can say that after having a prosecutor for twenty three years still am and these are the types of keys that you never

expect to see, either criminally or civilly. Now, this was a case where as you point out, the basically the father, the parents of this man destroy twelve moving boxes worth of pornographic films, magazines, and sex toys. But here comes the whopping price tech according to news reports, twenty nine dollars twenty nine thousand dollars. Yeah. Now, I'm not sure how you get up to that amount. But that's not even the end of it, because of course the police

wouldn't take this case. So suing civilly, this man, who currently moved out of his parents' home, is seeking triple financial damages of approximately eighty seven thousand. That's a lot of money. There's no of course, no guarantee he's going to win or get anywhere near that amount. But the fact that we're talking about this lawsuit, this is a sign of the times, Mike, I'm not sure it's the kind of a sign that many people are happy to see.

You know, I always get nervous when family members sue each other because we always like to think that blood is more important than money and that you can work it out ultimately. And how many boxes was that again? Yeah? Twelve moving box? Okay, this was had to have been an extensive collection that didn't twelve boxes and b value Now I don't know who does the valuation. Let's just be very clear. You know, you always want a fact

check stories like this when you first see him. But the fact that this lawsuit actually is in court, and as far as the latest reporting, you've got to judge a degreed with the plaintiffs that his parents had no right to destroy his stash. So of course there's no final judgment. Get and the parents and this man have until February of next year to file written submissions of the amount of money. Oh so obvious, for that amount

is in dispute um. This was at least you can talk about Judge Judy, there was a ruling that the parents had no right to destroy this. Um, I don't know what to call it. Let's just call it a stash, so we don't get into trouble with other ways of characterizing the collection. We'll call it a collection. Yeah, it was a collection of adult material. I just wonder if this made it all the way to the Supreme Court. Wasn't there a famous Supreme Court justice who was asked

what is pornography? And he said I'll know it when I see it. Yeah. No, that was a That was a famous quote that will go down in history because it relates to so many different things. And it's interesting you bring that up, Mike, because that was not the issue here. Apparently there was no issue that was bornographic material. The only issue is how much is it worth? Now, many parents listening to this broadcast will say nothing. And that's basically what the dead was the sentiment shared by

this man's father. He said he did the right thing, and according to him, quote I did you a big favor by getting rid of all this stuff for you, So he apparently thought it was worthless as well. Well, now it's in court and we'll see what it's worth. Wow, So a couple of thousand dollars a box. But if he gets trouble damages, does he have to prove there's

not a jury in this? Is there? You know, it doesn't look like it's gone past the initial stages, but you can imagine cases like this would potentially end up in front of a jury that most case is settled, but this is not a case that has a lot of shall we say, jury appeal And you know that the lawyers on both sides, and you know, all lawyers take into consideration what the risks are going to be moving forward. So we'll keep an eye on this one, Mike.

But I gotta tell you there are so many crazy legal stories out there that this will probably get eclipsed by something else pretty soon. Yeah. I just I'm wondering about the list of all the films he's going to claim that he owned, because they always were named after movies that were popular movies but weren't quite the same name, like, you know, Saving Private Ryan was. I think there was a version called Shaving Private Ryan. I'm not sure. And I just wonder if he's going to read the list

of films in court. It could be question. You know, there are a couple lists, there are a couple of names, but of course I'm not going to be the one to save them on the air. And I know that most people keep things digitally anyway. So it was an interesting that in twenty twenty somebody actually had a collection that was not digitized. But we'll say that story for another day. We'll keep an eye of that. We'll keep

everybody posted on how that comes out. It's not going to be on Judge Judy because it's well beyond the economic threshold. She only can go up to five grand. It's a small claims court, her court. In the time we have here, Wendy, there are questions about the vaccine and forcing people to take the vaccine, and you and I have talked about this. Will people have to do it for work? Will they have to do it in

order to travel? And now there is the question of religious exemptions that people could say it's against my religion to take it, and we're seeing it now in terms of Christianity, Catholicism having questions about it, and people who are Muslims who are saying that they wonder if the vaccine is hilal or similar to kosher to our Jewish friends,

if it's okay for them to take the vaccine. Yeah, these are really important questions, Mike, because we are now moving into an age where it's going to be no shoes, no shirt, no shot, no service. They're requiring vaccinations. I mean to fly for some types of hotels, many jobs of requiring that employees be vaccinated. So we're looking at this actually being a competitive advantage from many businesses. So you can imagine everybody wants to make a living. They

shouldn't have to choose between health and wealth. So people are of different faiths or looking at whether or not this is something that they can legally, ethically morally do, and that's according to the religion. So a couple, as you say, religions have weighed in that again has declared it morally acceptable, for example, for Roman Catholics to receive COVID nineteen vaccines, even though it's basically some of them on research that used fetal tissue from abortions. Now you

can imagine the rationale for this. They're looking at it in the broader picture. Perhaps there isn't a better way to make yourself safe and protect your community. They are very clear they're opposed to abortion. But when you're looking at the gravity the current pandemic and the lack of available alternatives that haven't been good, haven't been done that type of research, they just come up empty. So this seems like the best case scenario to protect yourself from COVID.

Now you also mentioned Hellal's the same type of analysis that goes on there is they basically said the majority consensus and they're looking at by the way pork gelatine used in vaccines that it could be permissible because greater harm would occur if the vaccines weren't used. So this is something that's very significant because you remember, even in the US, you might claim a religious exemption for taking some sort of a vaccine. You'll have to, but you

could normally. The two big exemptions would be underlying health conditions where you might have a reaction to it, and then the religious aspect of it as well. It's so amazing that the First Amendment carries such weight in our world today as it relates to this pandemic, and it's just interesting to me that we can actually have these discussions. I'm glad we can have them. But I also wonder,

you know, what is the calculus people are doing. There's a religious calculus that's going on in the minds of some Christians and now some Muslims. And I wonder if maybe some of our Jewish friends are wondering if the vaccines are kosher. So you have to do that calculus. What's more important the risk that you might offend your faith, or your God or your personal health. It's a fascinating dilemma, and that it's happening at Christmas time is even more

interesting to me. Well, you know, as Christians us where we pray about everything, and that's why Scripture basically invites us to seek God for guidance and seek counsel from godly accountability partners. Because some of these questions are tough. You are looking at basically questions with no good answers, and you're also looking at questions that have no precedent.

We've never had a pandemic issue before. We're vaccine is so important, and so the priority is on saving lives and that seems to be where the balance of equities is leaning. Now, that doesn't mean that certain people won't say yes. I understand the rationale. Pope says it's okay. The Muslim faith says it's okay. I'm still personally not comfortable with it. I'm not going to do it. Well. Then you could qualify for an exemption, but not all

employers will grant this depending on where you work. You can imagine if you're on the front lines in an emergency room, you have to be vaccinated. I mean, these have been around a long time, these rules. You have to be vaccinated before you go to school. I mean, there are lots of different rules that we've had for years, for decades, we just haven't had them with respect to COVID. So we're sort of generating these rules as we go along. A hundred years from now, when we have our next pandemic,

will be all squared away. But that hasn't happened yet. I hope I'm around to see that, Wendy Patrick. I hope in a hundred years I'm feeling good and we're having this discussion. Take care of yourself and we'll be on the air talking about the next pandemic. That's right. O. Name is Wendy Patrick finder at Wendy Patrick PhD dot com. Thank you, my friend. Thanks Mike. Always a pleasure. There she goes, and you know what, I'll take a break too.

Michael Pelka stepping aside on The Buck Sexton Show. You're in the Freedom hide This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back to The Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelca here wrapping up this episode, and just for all of you, thank you for those of you who reached out during the show tonight. I will be back next week doing a couple more nights for Buck, filling in for my old buddy here in the constitutionally protected free speech bunker

in the woods of Arden, Delaware. Yeah. It's a little little known hideout that I have, and I'm surrounded by communists, anarchists, and socialists, so I have to keep it on the downlow most of the time. But I am here and we will be holding down the fort after Christmas. Hope you will join us. Speaking of Christmas, as Billy halliwell mentioned earlier, you still have tonight and tomorrow night to witness the great conjunction the Star, the Christmas Star in

the skies. I hope you have clear skies. We had clear skies the other night. It was spectacular, but we also had cloudy skies on Monday, So I feel kind of burned by that, and you will be able to witness the two planets lining up and appearing to be what may have been the same thing the magi witnessed on the birth of Christ. Yeah, I believe that no coincidences, no coincidences at all. A couple of other things that

I want to make sure we get to. Yeah, we know, jobless claims still over eight hundred thousand, But I do think we're going to see, based on all the indicators we are seeing, the economy will begin roaring back after the first of the year. Once we get through this latest surge of the COVID, we're going to see the effects of the vaccinations starting to build, and they will

build quickly. The US government ordered another hundred million doses of the Fiser vaccine yesterday, so that is a good sign that that vaccine is being accepted, and not only that, the logistics that we've set up are working really well. So watch the economy to start surging. Will Donald Trump get any credit for it? I doubt it. Democrats are going to want to take credit for it. The mass media is not going to give Donald Trump any credit

for it, so we'll see. We also have to set our calendars and look ahead to January sixth, going to be a very important day in this country. January fifth, of course as well with the runoff elections happening in Georgia. But January six many of us are going to be in DC. I might be in DC as well. So if you're planning on being in DC for whatever rally or public events are taking place, let me know and maybe we can all connect. Maybe we can all meet at the same place. It could be a very good idea.

I'm just saying. I'm also keeping an eye out on the Durham investigation. John Durham's investigation has been going on too long for all of us, but blame some of that on COVID. But as we heard earlier today, with the executive orders signed by the President, the order that allows John Durham to present classified information, it looks like we may be close close to a grand jury handing

down indictments. And wouldn't that just be a wonderful Christmas President, wouldn't that be Even if it comes after Christmas, Even if we get the indictments between Christmas and New Year's I still think that counts, you know, think of all the people who are going to have delayed deliveries due to last week's snowstorm, and they're still saying it's a Christmas present. So I am looking forward to finally seeing some action, maybe some perp walking, maybe some fraud marching.

Thanks to the Durham investigation. The Special Council will go on no matter what, but this one could be a game changer, a big stinking deal. So let's all have a great Christmas and get back together here next week. As I said, I'll be here a couple of days next week, so please join me hang out. We will try and bring back some of the usual suspects. We have a couple of characters who want to get in here, and in the meantime, make sure you spend time with family.

It's the most important thing, even though you've been locked down with them for the last eight months. Spend time with your family. They're the only ones you got and at the end of the day, when you go home, they have to let you in. Till next time, test Studo, my friends, test Stutto.
