Looking ahead to Jan 5th & 6th!

New Year's Eve. That's the best of Buck. But I am here tonight and we're going to take care of business, try and cover everything we can, dealing with what's going on in DC and some other stuff happening around the world as well as we're going to look ahead to next week. As you know, we've got the runoff elections in Georgia and we're going to try and track down

Scott Pressler. He's one of the people who's knocking on doors and trying to make sure the Republicans win those runoffs in Georgia, and we'll find out what he's up to. We also have the Joint Session of Congress where the electoral votes will be certified or contested, and we're hearing there is going to be some contesting, so we will deal with that, and there may be some rallies on the streets, and we're anticipating some pretty large crowds that

are going to be there. And one of the people who will be there is one of my favorite people of all in the world of journalism and media. She's someday I just met this year for the first time. Her name is Tracy Beans. She is the brains behind Uncovered DC dot com. Uncovered DC dot com as a

website you should be visiting if you are not. And in addition to the commitment to finding the truth and putting the truth out there without fear or favor, as they used to say at The New York Times, but they really mean it at Uncovered DC, Tracy is also one of the nicest people you'd ever meet in your whole life, and so I'm really thrilled she's here with us. A matter of fact, I'm going to put her in the top ten of all the people I know on

the planet. Tracy Bean's my friend. Welcome. Hi, that's so, how do I thank you? Oh? You're welcome. See now you get it. A lot of people don't understand how to take a compliment and the only way to take a compliment is not to reject it, is not to diminish yourself, but just to simply say thank you. Wow, thanks Casey. And now back to the countdown. So Tracy Bean's at Uncovered DC a place that you should go and visit. Is just as I said, one of my

favorite people. But she's a journalist dedicated to finding the truth, sharing the truth, etc. And I want to talk about next week and what's happening on the sixth of January. But you've got you've always got something bubbling over at Uncovered DC. What is bubbling? What can you tease us with? Well, it's bubbling a little bit, you know, Um, there's in the COVID world, people are just really getting fed up, Mike.

I think you're you're you know, you're seeing the clips of restaurant owners, you know, joining in in warehouses with a bunch of their restaurant owner friends and just proclaiming they're going to ignore these shutdowns, and new data is coming out about them. You know how how asymptomatic spread is not a thing, which is something we've been talking

about for months, almost a year now. Well, now, brave people are starting to step forward and talk about the politicization of the lockdowns, why they why they decided to lockdown in the face of data that didn't really jive with the conclusion. And so I've got a piece that I'm working on which will cover somebody very brave, a couple of people actually willing to put their names on the record and come forward about some things going on in Nevada. Okay, they're going to actually allow their names

in print. They're not afraid of being docked or threatened or all that stuff. Way past that point. As I think I said to you very early in the beginning, I don't like to print stories without on the record sources. And in a rare occasion like this where somebody actually has the guts to stand up for what's right, it's really really awesome to be able to print their name and have them stand by it. And it's going to be something. I hate teasers, but I'm not done with

it yet, so good it'll be something. Well when you say it's something. And as Tracy Beans did say, she likes to be on the record at all times with confirmed sources, not saying if true. No, she's got the statements from the people. So this is a good thing, and I'm going to be waiting with bated breath, as they say, and hopefully today good good, good good. So here's the deal, people, You just put uncovered DC dot

com in your browser. Give it, you know, give it a link, save the link, and go there every day and you'll be smarter. You might even play better on Jeopardy if you go there every single day, which I'm already missing Alex Trebek? Can I say that before we talk about next week? Are you like me? Are you missing Alex Trebek because we're out of new Alex Trebeck episodes on Jeopardy. He was just a great man. I didn't know him personally, obviously, but it was just great.

He reminds me of my grandma my grandpa, like being at their house and having dinner over there when my parents were working and just they were watching Jeopardy, and it just reminds me of my childhood. Oh. I thought you were going to say they asked you questions over dinner. Well they did. Oh good, good. Well that's good too that I learned a lot on Jeopardy. Well you do. Just by watching it, your IQ can go up ten points.

I guarantee you. And I was such a big fan, but I'm in such an add mode as we get to the end of the year. I bounced around on topics, but I want to be laser focused about next week. Washington, d C. January sixth is a big day with a Joint Session of Congress. But more than the five hundred and thirty five people gathered, they are going to be

I imagine maybe five hundred thousand people showing up. I think there'll be more, Mike, Honestly, I think there will be more people here this time than the first go round when we spoke, only because the first go round was completely organic ressroots thing. There was no direction from President Trump. This time he asked for people to come. I know there's a lot of people who did not make the trip the other two times that will be

coming to DC this time. As a matter of fact, it's getting so big that the Hotel Harrington, it appears, has now They wrote this letter. Do you want me to read it real quick? Yeaick, yeah, sure. This is one of the hotels that was supposed to be taking reservations from people coming for this rally. Yeah. So yesterday they put out this statement Washington, DC has been our home for one hundred and six years. We join with all of our guests, visitors, staff, and neighbors in our

concern and desire for everyone's health and safety. We appreciate the trust our guests have placed in us over the years. We wish to continue to earn it. We can't control what happens outside. We are taking additional steps to protect the safety of our visitors, guests, and employees. Hotel Harrington will be closed on January fourth, fifth, and sixth. We will not be accommodating guests, with the exception of our long term residents who call our hotel home. Refunds will

be made for all prepaid reservations. Notifications are being sent to all reservation holders beginning today. Wow. So this is one of the hotels that was expecting guests who were going to be attending rallies and events on January sixth. Aimed at what some are using the hashtag stop the Steel and to overturn the current results of the election and decertify the Electoral College votes. And they are worried about I guess violence. I think they just don't they

want to deter people from coming. I think that, you know, Mayor Bowser before the last event, changed COVID restrictions for quarantine and all kinds of other things trying to deter people from coming in. But you know that's not happening. People are still coming and it's going to be interesting to see what happens that day with all of these people in DC from all in the middle of the week, mind you, Mike, Yeah, this is a Wednesday. It's a

big midweek thing. I have a reservation. I'm planning on getting into town on the evening of the fifth, having a half smoke at Ben's Chili Bowl, you know, getting a good hotdog and chili in me before getting up early Wednesday and attending whatever is going on. So I will be in DC. I was not staying at that hotel that is telling people we're closing, but I will be. I know, I can't. This is I'm wondering if there has been pressure from the left to tell hotels to

close down. Well, I know that there's a lot of price gouging going on also, Mike, Well, I can tell you this. If you're a smart shopper like me, and you use an app like Hotel Tonight, you're not going to be gouged. I can tell you I got a pretty good deal. It's crazy because I think that the Trump Hotel is now at forty six hundred dollars a night. Get out, seriously, four six hundred dollars a night for the What do you get? You better get Donald and

Milania bringing you dinner, literally serving you in bed right. Wow. So I'm not going to ask you where you're staying, and I'm certainly not going to tell people where I am staying. But I am within walking distance of everything. So I have plans to be in DC and you and I better make a connection to cover whatever's going

on there. I will tell you I'm trying to use every last favor I have to see if might be able to get into the White House, oh on that day, because I think getting a one day temporary press pass to the White House that would be the place to be. I would say there's going to be some fireworks there. It seems like things are shaping up like this strategy of decertification is kind of going all the way here. It looks like Pennsylvania released some information yesterday. It's really

going to fall on some of these governors. But I think that these congressmen and senators have more than enough information in their hands or should to debate these issues, and at the very worst case, you know, just prolong and delay this to bring it to a House vote, in which case on January sixth, we may be celebrating. I would hope, so, I would hope. So the numbers you're talking about the Pennsylvania seemed to show that there were more than two hundred thousand votes than they have

registered voters. No, wasn't that. That wasn't it. No, that wasn't it. It was there were more than two hundred thousand votes. Then they say people voted, Well, that's it. I thought that was kind of the same thing. No, No, because there are six million registered voters in in Pennsylvania.

So basically what they did was they took the total ballots cast and then the total votes counted from the county data and Shore data the short system, which is what actually calculates everything at the end of the day, and they subtracted the difference between the two of them to find that two hundred and two thousand, three hundred and seventy seven more ballots were cast than voters who voted, So that would be enough to bridge the margin that

has been declared. Now, is this going anywhere or is this going to be part of the January sixth that's discussion. They're calling for them to decertify Pennsylvania's results. That's what they're calling for, and Arizona apparently has an announcement coming as well. I think that, if anything, this will be in the arsenal of debate materials that these congressmen and senators will have at their disposal when they're trying to

debate electoral votes. And to be honest, I shared a thread yesterday, Mike from some folks who put together other people objecting to electoral college votes on the floor in other elections passed because it's not all that you know of an obscure practice. The Democrats do it all the time. Yeah, it seems like every time a Republican has won in recent years, the Democrats have spent this day of certification

protesting and ultimately getting gaveled down. But they didn't have the evidence we have here, nor did they have the alternate slates of electors which we have here, and that is the critical difference. Tracy Beans, I'm up against the wall, but I have to tell you I will see you in DC god willing next week and let's stand up for what's right. Amen. Happy New Year to everyone too, and a happy New Year to you, and a happy New Year to all of you listening to the Buck

Sexton Show. Michael Pelka stepping aside for a couple. We'll be right back. You're in the Freedom Heart. This is the Buck Sexton Show Podcast. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelca, the Godfather, if you will, sitting in for my friend Buck. Happy to be here, thrilled to be here hanging out with you. Many many things to get to today. I do want to focus on some of the some of the madness around the Georgia runoffs, especially when it comes to the money the Georgia runoffs

they have raised since the election day. Since November third, the Georgia runoffs have brought in three hundred and fifty million dollars between the four candidates, more than two hundred million to the Democrats. Think about that, two hundred million dollars for these two Democrat candidates, really with no track record, and they've already spent their money. They're putting out the word today that they need more money. If they're going

to compete, they have to have more millions. Now, most of this money's coming, obviously from out of the state, outside of the state, a lot of it from Hollywood. The Republicans have raised over one hundred and fifty million dollars, So you have all this money pouring in for two Senate seats. Three hundred and fifty million dollars will probably hit four hundred million by the time the election rolls around a week from today. It's a staggering amount of money,

and it shows you how important these elections are. But the Democrats are starting to get a little concerned. We're hearing the Democrat establishment is saying, why are we pumping money into this state. We saw down ballot races not go the way we anticipated. We saw down ballot races all across the country. How many House seats did Nancy Pelosi lose? Virtually every contested House seat went to a Republican.

And it looks like as every day grows longer in the Georgia race, we hear more and more stories about the crazy allegations against these candidates. This Warnock guy and the camp he was involved with. I know Kelly Lefler is saying that the allegations of abuse against the campers that are now rising up that they should be disqualifying.

We will see, you know what we should do. There's a guy named Scott Pressler who's out knocking on doors in Georgia, and I think I can get a hold of him and we'll get the straight scoop from Scott Pressler. You should know Scott. You've seen him. He's all over the place on Fox. He's a very tall young man. I think he's just nineteen years old. This was the

first election he voted in. And he's a conservative and he said, I'm also a gay man, a gay conservative, which is a new demographic for the GOP and I'm happy to see it developing. So I think we'll get Scott Pressel around the show tonight. I'm also going to play the host privilege card, and a little bit later, I want you to meet a friend of mine is a survival guy. Was one of the youngest Boy Scouts ever. I think it was a Boy Scout or reached the

Eagle Scout at the time. He was about fifteen years old, might have been the sekest, second youngest Eagle Scout. Ever, his name is Kreek Stewart and he's got a TV show that's all about survival. It's on the Weather Channel. He's got a new one coming out, and I want to bug him about the new show and get some stories out of him, because he's a fantastic guy. Especially now. You should know how to survive, especially in the time of the COVID, So it'll be an interesting rest of

the program. Second hour on the way, Michael Pelca with you on the Buck Sexton Show as we say bye bye to twenty tonight and tomorrow we'll be right back. Thanks for listening to The Bus Seston Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. And welcome back to the Buck

Sexton Show. Michael Pelca sitting from my friend Buck. Happy to be here in the Freedom Hunt, actually broadcasting from the constitutionally protected free speech bunker in the woods of Delaware. That's where I make my home. And yes, I am surrounded by intolerable liberals, but at least I have good conservative friends like my buddy Jonathan Honigg of The Capitalist Pig, and I've tapped on Jonathan, so we can get into some of the craziness around the markets and bitcoin and

all of that stuff. Jonathan Honig, it's been too long, my friend. Welcome back, sir Mike, thank you for having back. Happy New Year. My god, what a year has it been. I mean, we've talked a few times over the year, and at each time it seems that there's new twist turns drama, certainly when it comes to the COVID pandemic, but when it comes to the markets and the economy as well. The good news is we're ending on a

high note. I mean, low unemployments, high stock prices. You mentioned insulation, worries of inflation, but still low inflation, and something called bitcoin up there at twenty five, twenty six, twenty eight, eight thousand dollars a coin. My god, what a year it's been. Yeah, I'm wondering does any of this make sense? You know, because if I think about the overall feeling on the street, on main Street, not on Wall Street, a lot of people are nervous. People

are nervous about their jobs. We have all these restaurants that are going away, small businesses are at risk, and yet, like you said, stock market record highs. We've got unemployment at a kind of a reasonable level, not the record lows we had, and the cryptocurrency world is doing okay. That doesn't seem to balance out, Jonathan. Is there a financial sort of damocles hanging over our heads? Well, it is. It's it's almost a tail like this year of kind

of two different economies. First and foremost is what we'll call the knowledge worker economy. And what's been pulling the economy forward. It's been pulling the stock market forward. I mean, what's been pulling really the world forward has been these high tech internets and tech companies liked the Amazons, liked the zooms, like the facebooks, that have basically kept us

going during this pandemic. I mean, Mike, we really owe a debt of gratitude at the time the government is going after big technology stocks, and these are the companies that have kept us supplied, kept us fed, kept us connected, kept many of us able to work and continue to

earn money during the pandemic. And you know, that's a big different think where we would be this year without Facebook, without Amazon, without Microsoft, for all these amazing companies that have created technology, and they those have been the ones that have really been pulling the stock market higher. I mean, if you've owned, let's say, an airline, you know, if you've owned a lot of the restaurants or retailers, you've

suffered and you still haven't come back. But these companies that have been able to adapt, then they've been able to provide the technology that powers our lives. They've thrived, and that's been a big reason that the economy, you rid large, has prospered, and certainly the stock market as well. It's those big cap names that are pulling us forward. So I have to be happy about Amazon now, after I've been nervous about Jeff Bezos and all of his machinations.

Now I have to pat him on the back. Well, if you know, think about the difference these days, Jeff are Mike of of returning a gift via Amazon. I'm during at Christmas gift via Amazon. You know, the label prints out, you leave it at your door, the UPS guy comes and picks it up. Or the old days, the pre Amazon days, when you would have to you know, get in your car, go to a parking lot, go to a venture you know, or is there park parking lots?

Stand in line, especially during a pandemic. So there's no question that you know, these companies are succeeding. Those big tech tech cap big cap tech companies are succeeding because of the values they provide. But there is something else going on, and you kind of alluded to it. I mean, to supposedly help the economy or save the economy. The Federal Reserve has even doing one thing and one thing only, and that is printing a hell of a lot of

money that's gone into a lot of risk assets. There was anecdotal evidence that a lot of the initial stimulus checks literally went into the stock market. You've also seen it with a lot of other what they call risk assets, and crypto is probably the best example. You know, I'm not a hater. This is a Bitcoin is a topic that brings out a lot of anger and emotion and people. I'm not a hater, but I can promise to this bitcoin or something as speculative that wouldn't have existed in

two thousand and eight. It couldn't have existed in two thousand and nine, back when people were very afraid of risk in the midst of the global financial crisis. It's only because of all this money printing, all the speculation that's something like bitcoin I believe at least can thrive

and prosper. That's exactly what we're seeing now. Money is flying into all types of risk assets, stocks, even gold and precious metals, bitcoin, and a lot of it has to do with potential risks about exactly what you said that money printing. People are worried about the value of a dollar, so they're buying any type of others called hard assets. Real estate's gone up quite a bit to try to protect against that risk. So lots of flun

moving parts in this American economy. But one thing I think esher it's the resilience of the American worker in the American company. I mean, they've persevered, They've held on with or without stimulus, with or without the government lockdowns. And there's a lot to be said for the good old American worker and certainly the American entrepreneur during this

pandemic and during twenty twenty. Yeah, I think the entrepreneurs are the ones who were seeing who recognize the amazons and the ups s and all of these types of industries were going to benefit, and they jumped in it and provided services to it. Provided packaging, provided everything. I've seen some real interesting service industries pop up in service to those huge industries that are keeping US afloat. But

I want to drift over. You mentioned the cryptos. Cryptocurrencies are such a mystery to people, and I have to ask you, Jonathan Honick from the capitalist Big dot Com. I'm giving my elevator speech to people when they say what the heck is bitcoin? And tell me if I'm right, and you can correct me, please if I'm wrong, because I'm used to being corrected. I'm married twenty eight years.

When someone says what the heck is bitcoin? I say, look, somebody created a finite amount of digital codes, individual digital codes. Each one represents a bitcoin. Let's say there's a million of them, and they put a value on those of a tenth of a penny, and you were allowed to buy any one of those million bitcoins. I'm sure there's

probably like eighteen million dollars whatever. Now people are trading them, and only the interest in them, the individual's interest in them, and the lack of ability to print more, is determining their value. So they've gone from a tiny action to now currently over twenty six thousand dollars per bitcoin. Did I explain that correctly? You know, I think you're exactly right. I mean, bitcoin is a digital currency, exactly right, Mike.

I mean it's a it's a series of ones and zeros, and you know, unlike the US dollar, which is backed by the full as they say, the full faith and credit of the American government, bitcoin is not backed by anything's as you said, it's a series of ones and zeros, a computer code of which a finite number will ever be created. Then there's a scheme, kind of a technique by which every I believe, ten minutes miners are able

to create more coins. So there's a there's a small way in which additional coins at a slower rate can be created. But you're right, there's a finite supply. And this year, after about a decade, the popularity of bitcoin has exploded hundreds of percent. This year bitcoin has has risen And you know, I have to tell you, Mica,

I mean, you've been married for twenty some years. I've been trading for twenty some years, and this really does bring me back to the late nineteen nineties, the Internet era. You know, back then, it wasn't bitcoin that was soaring, But it was these what they used to call just Internet companies soaring, and things like pets dot Com for example, would come public and say well, we're going to be the pet store for the Internet, and would get rewarded

with huge, multi multibillion dollar valuations. What ultimately happened was that the Internet did succeed, right, I mean, of course we buy everything on the Internet now, but a lot of those individual companies did not. And that's my very brave, probably very foolish prediction for bitcoin is that the underlying technology, what's known as the blockchain technology, that will succeed, that will thrive, well, that'll be integrated in all elements of

the American economy. But the price of bitcoin itself, and you know, the only thing I could point to is a is a competing a currency. And you know that's the thing, Mike. You know, it's hard to create a competing precious metal. You got gold, platinum, silver, and not much else. But in effect, anyone can create a competing cryptocurrency. And there's a lot of them out there. There's Ripple,

there's Ethereum, there's Bitcoin. And one of the major ones I mentioned Ripple, that company who behind that was actually sued by the SEC. In the last couple of weeks that cryptocurrency has fallen by over fifty percent, So looks it's white hot now. And I'm a trend follower, so I say, you know, you'd ever want to bet against a rising tide, but in effect know where the exits are. These are heady times for cryptocurrency, and my senses the next one hundred percent or the next fifty percent is

probably lower rather than higher. I think that's wise because a lot of people who are bitcoin fans are screaming hundred thousand dollars here we come, and that usually makes me very nervous when hucksters start getting into it. And you know, Mike, the thing to remember for all of our listeners is that you know, no one is I'm nippottent. No one knows the future. So when it comes to investing your money, the best piece of isaacond is give

is don't make it an aller un decision. I mean, back in nineteen ninety nine, if you know, if you own some text stocks at the top, you didn't get hurt, but if you went you know, all in, you really got hurt. So whether it's real estate in two thousand and seven, whether it's technology stocks in two in the nineteen ninety nine or bitcoin today, make it a part of your portfolio, you know, not the only not the

only part. You know. We haven't had the debt discussion, but I know you're a guy who doesn't like debt. You're like me. Debt eventually weighs us down and holds us. Are you worried about all this government debt at all? I think we're the only ones that are worried. Like you know, it's it's a little shocking as a as a physical conservative for many many years, and who, as you said me, knows the long term dangerous economic ramvacations

of unchecked spending. I'm a little bit a god this year at spending under President Trump, you know, came to power promising to eliminate the debt. We've done just anything, but you've done exactly the opposite. We've piled a lot on top of it. And what worries me, Mike, isn't necessarily as a cataclysm day or all of a sudden, one day you wake up and there's fires earning and the ATMs don't work, and you know that's what's always kind of portrayed is this end of end of times cataclysm.

What's unfortunately more likely to happen is frankly, exactly what we saw after President Obama. Remember back then, the stimulus and the spending was only about eight hundred billion dollars. That resulted in the slowest economic recovery, the slowest recovery in modern times. So as we're looking forward, and that's kind of my worry with all this debt, not that we're going to collapse and become a third world country, but that we're going to stagnate. And there's other examples

of that as well. You know, Japan, after its bubble economy in the late nineteen eighties, they followed down exactly that same path, a lot of make work programs, a lot of spending, a lot of government debt, tremendous government debt, and their economy basically has been more abun for thirty years. So that's my big fear moving forward, not that you know, the US economy is going to fall off a cliff, but that we're going to stagnate, That unemployment's going to rise,

the rate of growth that's going to slow. The new innovators don't pop up, and I think that's real fear moving forward to debt and inflation as well as you said. And they call it a silent tax, Mike, and it's really true. I mean, when they raised taxes on anyone, you can tell it's very obvious. But when your grocery bills, when your coffee bills, when your clothing bills start to march up ten to fifteen, twenty percent, that's a tax one or the other. And it all comes back to

government spending, debt and controls. That's what we need to reverse. I'm with you, Jonathan, fiscal conservatism. That's my gospel when it comes to my personal finances. I so appreciate you, and I encourage anybody. If you like what Jonathan's putting down here, go to the Capitalist Pig dot com. Check them out, and we'll drag you back in here. In twenty twenty one, little mister, Happy new year to all

of your listeners. Let's make it a great one. And there he goes Jonathan Honig The Capitalist Pig, great solid conservative, fiscally conservative financial advice. My go to guy at the Capitalist Pig dot Com. Michael Pelka in for Box Sexton Stepping aside. We'll be right back. Thanks for listening to the buses and show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. We'll

come back to the Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelka is sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton on this last Tuesday of twenty twenty. I know I keep saying it's the last Monday, the last Tuesday, but I'm so anxious to get rid of twenty twenty. I'm going to celebrate every last of the days that we have to deal with, and I'll be here tomorrow too to celebrate the last Wednesday. So join me, won't you? And you can also join

me on social media. I've picked up a few followers on Twitter and a few more of you have jumped on Instagram and Facebook as well, So thank you, thank you for that. A couple of other things I noticed in the news outside of the politics. There is more to life than politics, even though there are days it doesn't feel that way. So on days when we have a lot of heavy news and big time political news, I also looked for stories that might be a little inspiring,

like this one. This story out of Tennessee, where a seven year old boy saved his baby sister's life as their house was burning. This story happened a couple of weeks ago and it's just starting to make national news. In the small town of New Tazewell, Tennessee, where Chris

and Nicole Davidson put their three kids in bed. They were asleep by eight thirty, but in the middle of the night they woke up to the smell of smoke and they found their house was on fire, but their twenty two month old daughter was trapped in her room, a baby twenty two months old trapped behind the smoke and flames. They went outside and Elijah, the seven year old, said,

I can get through that window. I can climb through that window, and he did climbed into the window of the burning home, rescued his twenty two month old sister as the fire trucks were pulling up. The whole house was soon engulfed in flames, but everybody human was out and saved. The little kid is a hero, a huge hero. Congratulations to the Davidson family. Quick thinking on dad to lift little Eli up in through the window to save his sister and Eli a steel spine at the age

of seven. He said, there was no way I was gonna let my baby sister die in the fire. How about one more quick good news story, the story of a ninety three year old veteran, a ninety three year old veteran Air Force Colonel John Hobson, who likes to keep busy and he whittles walking sticks and sells them to raise money for a local food bank. Yeah, we

know about food banks being stretched to the limits. While John Hobson has done such a remarkable job and the word has gotten out, he has raised are you sitting down sixteen thousand dollars selling walking sticks in his little Ohio neighborhood? Sixteen grand from carving walking sticks? This retired Air Force colonel, at the age of ninety three is still serving this country. We stand and applaud you, sir. We would salute you, but that would be stolen valor.

So we stand an applaud with a little bit of tear in our eye. Just maybe, Colonel, Thank you, God bless you, and to the young man Eli good works on good news everywhere. Michael Pelcas stepping aside on the Buck Sexton Show, You're in the Freedom mind This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. It is the Buck Sexton Show.

Michael Pelcas sitting in for my friend Buck. Tonight and tomorrow we will wrap up twenty twenty with a look back at some of the crazier things we witnessed this year tomorrow night and boy, there are a lot of them that we witnessed. I'm sure you know them too. But I also want to talk about some of the crazy stuff going on today, some of the things related to the lockdowns, other stories happening in the news. So I've tapped into my friend Sarah Carter Sarah a carter

dot Com. I used to work with Sarah the Blaze, one of the more enjoyable people in my Blaze years experience, and she's here with us tonight. Hello, my friend Sarah Carter. So thrilled that you are here. Oh, it's so great to hear your voice. Mike. I feel the same way. We're all very close. I mean, we all work together. You're right in the early days of the Blaze. Great memories at the Blaze, and I met great friends, lifelong friends like you and Buck and so many others that

we worked with. So I'm really I'm really grateful to be on with you today at the end of twenty twenty. Yeah, I'm opening the door and giving twenty twenty a good kick in the butt. See you go ahead, not gonna miss you. Although Sarah I talked about this earlier, I'm a little concerned about twenty twenty one. Did you read

the Nostradamas story? Oh no, please do tell are we going to have like if this is a big end of the world thing, right, Mike, that you're gonna tell me, And that's going to scare me, but go ahead, well, go ahead tell me the story. If you read the Nostradamus predictions from five hundred plus years ago, Nostradamus was saying that this year will have asteroids and zombies on the earth. So I'm thinking COVID looks pretty good. Oh my goodness, Well, you know what, that's what I kept saying.

Everybody kept joking around, But you know, there are people out there actually really worried now about the whole zombie apocalypse thing because of all these end of the world movies. So you know, I talked to the Deputy of the Health and Human Services. I interviewed him and he was saying, oh, there's all kinds of stories about even about the vaccine that they have to overcome. So no surprise, it started

five hundred years ago with no stradomin writing rumors. Yeah, well, I'm I'm putting out a series of predictions for twenty twenty one under my new identity of Nostradomass, and they are they're just foolish predictions. And so be on the lookout for the Nostradomass predictions that I will be coming up with very shortly, unlike your email list for that, because I really want the Nostrademass predictions in my inbox every morning. Yeah, I'll be happy. I want happy to

do that. There'll be a new Nostradomass prediction as many days as I can provide them. I'm going to have to go into some kind of a fever dream like I'm a democrat, like AOC has their little fever dreams about a socialist society, and they're I'll dream about whatever Nostra dumbass would come up with, and I'll post them with Well, let me tell you the scary part of that, Mike. The scary part of that is that their fever dream actually appear to be like some kind of real sci

fi novel that's actually taking place in our society. Because every day I wake up and I wonder, am I living in upside down world? Am I living in a dream? What the heck happened to the United States of America and our planet? What is going on here? Because I really do feel even when you turn on just you're watching the news, you're reading a paper, whatever it is, I really feel like I am living in some kind

of dystopian world. Yeah, we are that way. I was looking at Sarah Acarter dot com, your website, and I saw a story that is particularly dystopian in its nature, showing the story about the Oregon salon owner. How is this not nineteen eighty four come to life? Oh, it's it's I mean, it's terrifying when you think about it. I mean we can look at it and go, is that for real? Is that an union story? Did? Was

that a Babylon be No? I mean, here's a salon owner and you know, same as the Senator Lindsay Graham, that's her name. Um, she said that the organ Governor Brown actually terrorized her family. She's like, you know this,

this is incredible. She's not the only person you know that is stuck or during the state's lockdowns, you know, and they were trying to find her fourteen thousand dollars for defying the rules and reopening her business during the pandemic, I mean, and then they came after her and her family. She filed a lawsuit on December eighteenth against Um, the governor Brown Um, claiming that forcing her business to shut

down violator civil rights. And she's absolutely right. You know, she came on the Ingram Angle was actually on with her right after her. And I remember while she was telling her story, I was thinking to myself, what kind of world do we live in? How is it that we live in the United States of America, the United States of America, and we have governors like Kate brown overreaching the way that they have been utilizing fear in this COVID nineteen pandemic to basically seize power in their

states and harm people. And you know, I'm really grateful for people like Lindsey Graham who are willing to fight people like Kate Browne. Remember it was remember it was Governor Kate Brown in Oregon who literally asked neighbors to turn on neighbors like if you see more than six people showing up at the Thanksgiving dinner at your neighbor's house, you should call the police on them. You should turn them in. When did we live? And I mean, this

is literally what happened in Cuba. This is literally what happened during the Soviet time. And it's a creepy crawl, right, It's a creepy crawl way of usurping power and taking power over people, and they do so with fear. And we know now based on science and based on I mean facts, even like with New York City with the shutdown of restaurants, right, and so many people under the threat of losing their businesses and so many already have, but that the spread of the virus even in restaurants

was like way below two percent. I mean, it was far less than anything that they imagine because it was so clean. If you look at the stats in New York that show that the restaurants and dining indoors was the fifth and it was way down the list in terms of the percentage of spread that it caused. It

was in the single digits. When we have big box stores that are opening and the facilities that are allowed to be open and they are spreading the virus at three and four and five times what you're seeing in restaurants and hair salons. This lady, I was just reading the story on your site too. This lady said that was three days after the complaint she made publicly and opened her salon. Child Protective Services showed up at her house and there was never a complaint unless she complained

about what the government was doing to her business. Well, and this is a threat, right, Mike. So you hold the government accountable, you confront them, and then the government uses the full power of the government against you. And this is what they did. I mean, she basically said that they sent Child Protective Services to her home and threatened the removal of her children. Can you imagine. Can

you imagine just wanting to keep your business open. You want to be able to feed your family, You want to be able to save what you had worked for your whole life. You're doing everything you can to mitigate the spread of this virus. I mean, look, they're the ones that are determining. It's like Governor Kate Brown can determine what is essential and what is non essential. You know,

this is what's happening across the country. And what's essential is that people have their jobs, that people can retain their businesses, that people can feed their families. You know, not everybody. You know, what's going to happen when the handouts aren't there anymore. What's going to happen when you don't have a stimulus check? What's going to happen. Then we now have a vaccine. We have multiple vaccines that are out there, ready to go out on the market

where people are getting vaccinated. Not as fast as some people would have hoped, but it is happening. It's on a massive global scale. These vaccinations will be done. People are following the rules. People are smart enough to follow the rules. I trust the American people. I trust people all over the world to do the right thing when it comes to them in their family. Yeah, I trust. I trust the American small businessman and small businesswoman a lot more than I trust the bureaucrats who have not

missed a paycheck since this started. This story about the hair salon and Oregon also parallels the one in California in Stockton, California, where the health police came in and the owner said it was like a drug raid. They came in and told all there were people getting their hair did right there in the chairs. They told them to put their purses on the floor and their hands

in the air, and it was just crazy. And I finally think, Sarah Carter, that we are seeing the salon owners, the restaurant owners, all of these people banding together, and they're standing up and saying, enough is enough, and we can do this. If airplanes can do it safely with one hundred and fifty people on a plane, why can't a hair salon with ten people inside do it? Well,

that's exactly what I've been saying. I mean, if you've anybody who's flown in recent months I have knows that you're sitting right next to people on a plane, wearing a mask, of course, doing the best to keep yourself clean. And you know, but you're not six feet apart on a plane. Not six feet apart on a plane. I mean, that's just a fact. And you know, when you think of these salon owners and small business owners trying to just keep food on the table, trying to keep their

businesses open, trying to feed their families. And by the way, shame on the officers who went in there. I know that's their job. But there's other officers across the country and sheriff that are saying, we're not going to do that. We're not going to go in and raid people's businesses.

I saw that in New Mexico. We've seen it in in other parts throughout the country where officers are refusing to do that because this is about American business owners, small business owners, doing the right thing, and it's very selective, Mike. These governors are doing things so selectively. And look at

Governor Newsom. What a hypocrite, What a hypocrite, who was caught at French laundry, you know, a twenty two thousand dollars like liquor bill at this fancy restaurant in northern California, you know, without a mask on, with his family and friends, you know, laughing and gallivanting around. And by the way, that restaurant got a big trunk of money, you know,

for COVID money that it applied for. And here's a you know, and here's a woman you know in Stockton who's just trying to get along, just trying to keep hersel on open, and then she gets rated like she's you know, Chapo Guzman in Mexico running like good drug cartel. Oh, very good, very good, very good chop and Choppo reference. I love that her name is Sarah Carter. We laughed all the time at the Blaze, and yet we still manage to cover the serious stuff, which Sarah does all

the time. She's got her website, she's got her podcast, The Sarah Carter Show, which you should track down as well. My friend, I'm going to be in DC next week for the big event on January sixth. If you're around, i'd love to say hello in person. Socially distanced of course. Absolutely, I'll be around anything for you, Mike. I can't wait to see you. I look forward to you coming to the swamp. Yeah. We'll be doing an air hug though it's just six feet away. Please six yea away. We'll

do like a high five in the air. We'll do an air hug. We'll send a picture, we'll put it, we'll put it on Twitter. I'm beautiful. Thank you, my friend, anytime. Thank you, Sarah. Taking a break.

You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Michael pelcat in for Buck and he'll be back in the new year. I was just checking something out, something that happened on MSNBC yesterday that made me laugh. We often say Donald Trump is living rent free in the heads of the liberals. He's up there and they can't get rid of him. Yesterday on Morning Joe Donnie Deutsch, who is just well, I can't say it. On the radio, Donnie Deutsch showed

just how obsessed he is with President Trump. He's counting the minutes of the program before they mentioned Joe Biden, and he's upset that Donald Trump has been brought up a few times. Well, he's only the president, mister Deutsch. Donald Trump's not going away because he's a media career. But enough it's on us out. I mean, he's a

lane duck. It's over. He lost, He's gone. Like we have to kind of kind of stought to say, like it's an hour and twenty minutes into the show, and Matt is the first time you mentioned name Joe Biden? Was mentioned? Enough with Donald Trump rat he's done, he lost, and we the media have to be a bit disciplined and not continue to just cover this jerk every time there's this flatulence. Every time there's this flatulence, you're referring to the president of the United States. These people really

have lost it. And you know it's amazing to me, is they're supporting Joe Biden, a guy who has obvious cognitive issues, a guy who really does have difficulty, and a guy who didn't campaign because they knew he had a problem, and they just can't they can't deal with it. So I just had to share that with you. That was from a morning Joe, I think that was yesterday morning.

Also surprising to me, the Democrats are having money troubles, to have some pretty serious money troubles in Georgia where they have raised all this money for these runoff elections and now they're telling everyone that they're out of money. Last night, John Asoff, whose name just sounds like someone's cursing all the time. To me, John Assoff, don't be a assof John Asoff was on CNN and he used

his time to ask for more camp paying funds. They are launching lawsuit after lawsuit, and for us to mount the kind of turnout effort that we must, for us to be prepared for the litigation that's necessary to defend the franchise, we need help. It's elect John, elect jawin dot com, and I'm asking folks to invest in voter

protection here. John. So the CNN anchor even said, you guys raised all this money, and no one has the courage, I guess to ask the question, why should we give you all this money if you can't even manage campaign funds. You know, the Democrats are just going to think they can throw money at every problem. And there are a

couple of Republicans who think the same way too. But I just think it's an absolute amazing story that they have spent two hundred million dollars already since the election and there's a week to go before the runoff, and they are claiming poverty, they're claiming that they're being outspent by the GOP, even though they have raised more money than the Republicans. This is going to be an amazing

week ahead of us. We're going to hear things. Stacy Abrams is already out there telling everybody that the GOP can't win unless they keep Blacks from voting. They play the race card at every turn. And when you're playing the race card, it's because you're not able to talk about policy. You're not able to talk about the actual things that matter when you want someone to be your

elected representative. I'm just telling you pay attention. We live in very interesting times, possibly even some of the most historic times ever. Michael Pelka and for Buck Sexton on The Buck Sexton Show. We'll be right back. Thanks for listening to the Bus Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcast, the iHeartRadio app, wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelka in for Buck, finishing out the year for Buck while he

enjoys his vacation. And we were just talking about Georgia and the ridiculous amount of money being spent on the runoff elections because it will determine the control of the Senate and the money is just astronomical, and it's being used to blanket the airwaves on radio and TV with all kinds of crazy ads, but it's also being used for getting people out in the streets and knocking on

doors and talking to potential voters. And one of the people who's out there knocking on doors leading the charge to register Republicans to make sure people get to the voting booth on or before the fifth of January, is one of the more inspiring people I've met in the last couple of years. His name is Scott press He's a young man who just voted in the presidential election for the first time because he wasn't old enough to vote in the last election. Scott is a beacon of

hope for the youth of this country. I really look at this guy's an inspiring character and I hope he continues. His enthusiasm is infectious and he's taken a break from knocking on doors to join us tonight. Scott Pressler, Welcome to the program sir. Wow, I've never had someone call me a beacon of hope before. Well, I think that one. Thank you. Yeah, we see you and you're you're enduring spirit.

You just have boundless energy, but you're always positive, and I think that is something that cannot be underestimated or undervalued. It is much needed in these crazy times that we're living in, my friend, and you are bringing that to doors all over Georgia. How many doors have you knocked on in the last couple of weeks. Oh, easily hundreds.

I've registered new voters. Get this, people that didn't vote in the November election who were Trump voters, I've now registered them to vote and they've already said that they've voted in the runoff Senate elections. So don't even get me started about why people weren't voting. But the fact is, we've registered new voters, We've recruited volunteers, We've knocked on

hundreds of doors. And I'm returning a third time to Roswell Georgia and I will be a guest host for Right Side Broadcasting at the Dalton, Georgia Trump Rally on the fourth, So the night before the actual final day of voting for these runoff elections, you're going to be there hosting on right Side broadcasting the streaming of the Trump rally. Absolutely, yes, sir, fantastic, this is good news.

I would have thought the President would have dragged you up on stage at this point, because you know, he's seen you everywhere I've seen you at the White House, so I know he knows who you are. Hey, this is about supporting our president. This is about giving our president a Senate that he can work with, because people need to understand this isn't just about two Senate seats.

This is truly If we do not win these two seats, it will be a fifty to fifty and should the election not go as we all hope it's going to go, that means that the vice president is going to be the tiebreaker. And do the Democrats once he gives statehood to DC, do the Democrats want to give statehood to Puerto Rico? This is about saving our country and we

need these two Senate seats as the firewall. Yeah, you're right talking about those two seats or those two states which would be added, which would add four more senators, obviously Democrats, and that would way the balance of power in the Senate forever as well as electorally. And you know they will pack the Supreme Court because they've talked about it. I've even heard the Democrats out on the campaign trail say they're not going to answer that question

because they want to get it done. So your work there is really important, Scott, and I want to ask you, based on your door knock surveys. I'm sure you've run into some Democrats when you knock on doors, But what do you think the chances are. How are you feeling? What's the Pressler poll? Tell us I'll be honest with you, and I'll be the same honesty that I gave for the November elections. This race is going to be close. Georgia is not a red stace like we think it is.

It's going to be a close election. It's going to be high turnout. Actually, I think we may see more people vote in the runoff election Van voted in the November presidential elections. And we need to get the word out the child abuse allegations coming out against Warnock, the fact that his ex wife was talking about the way that Warnock treated her, and then the fact that we just saw a tweet back in twenty twelve where Austin

was telling people to follow Chinese state media. I mean the Democrats, Wow, they couldn't have picked two worse candidates. And this is our opportunity to send Lessler and Purdue back to the Senate to support our businesses, to support making sure that we are opening up America to support, that we are not closing down businesses with the disastrous Green New Deal. This is our opportunity to save the Senate and quite frankly, save America. He is so right.

His name is Scott Pressler. You should follow Scott on Twitter. He's a great follower it. Look up Scott Pressler or the Persistent, because he is the most persistent person I know Scott. Two days after the rally is a big event in Washington, d C. We have the Joint Session of Congress where the Electoral College votes will have to be certified or they will have to face challenges. Are you going to be in DC at any of the events?

I would not miss it for the world. Yes. My plan is I will be door knocking and roswell on the second and third. I will be guest hosting his right side broadcasting on the fourth. I'm going to drive home on the fifth, and I will be proudly there in DC at the Capitol Building at ten am, planning to be there all day, Planning to wear comfortable footwear, plan to wear clothing that's going to keep you warm, and I want everyone to hear me loud and clear.

Any Republican elected official that does not object to the certification, I make a promise that we will recruit, we will train, we will fund candidates to primary you, and especially this goes out to Marco Rubio, This goes out to Roy Blunt. If you do not object the certification, we promise that you will have a primary challenger. And I do not

support a third party. What I do support is that the Republican Party does not stand with President Trump as they should, then we the grassroots, we the people, will remake the Republican Party in our image. This is a pretty strong statement to make from a young man who voted. I believe this was your first presidential election that you were able to vote in this year. If somebody doesn't stand up and object to the electoral counts that are being I know of several members of the House and

the Senate have indicated they will object. But if Marco Rubio doesn't, and I forgot who the other person who's had doesn't, your Blunt, Roy Blunt, you will guarantee that they will be primaried the next time they are up for election. Oh absolutely, And you know what, I've already got plans. I've been getting calls all across the country. I'm already coming to California, I'm already coming back to Texas.

And you know what, if I have to hop on a plane to Alaska to knock on doors and register voters to primary Leisa Murkowski, if I have to hop on a plane to go to Florida and Missouri and all across the country, then that's how I will spend the next two years of my life. Because I am sick and tired of seckless leadership that makes us promises and turns their backs on the American people. And quite frankly,

that's why I love President Trump. President Trump is the one man who looked us in the eyes and told us I will cut your taxes, I will reform trade. I will stop the trade deals that are giving China all of our work business while we the American people suffer. So I will use my platform, I will use my power. I will use everything in my ability to take down peacefully these Republican elected officials that do not stand without

sincing with our president. On January sixth, I love that you added peacefully because I think it is important to say, yeah, you know, if we go back to the summer and Fredo Cuomo who said, where in the first when the Constitution does it say protests have to be peaceful? Well, it's right there in the First Amendment. We're committed to peace, but we're committed to law and order and the Constitution. And Scott Pressler, you are a tireless warrior. This nation

needs you. You were chosen for this time. Thank you for being there, my friend. I hope to see you in Washington. I'm going to be there. It's easy for me to spot you because you're so tall, but I'll find you somehow. I'll find you, sir. Look forward to it. Can't wait to see there might Scott Pressler. Very impressive

young man. As I mentioned earlier. By the way, if you want to know more about what's going on in DC, and there are also some events that are expected to be happening in state capitals around the country, you can go to wild protest dot com. Wild protest dot com. That's one of the places. I'm not endorsing it, but I will tell you there's a lot of information there.

There are maps there to show you what the heck is going on, and you can see exactly what may or may not be planned for January sixth in Washington, DC or in your state at your state capitol. So wild Protest dot com is a place you can go and get more information as well. I will be there, I hope God willing if they don't close my hotel. We're hearing the mayor of Washington, Mayor Bowser, is putting

pressure on hotels to close that day. And also allegedly there are reports that they are trying to block the porta potties from being deployed. Wouldn't that be interesting? No place to stay and no place to go, if you know what I'm saying. Michael Pelka in for Buck Sexton on The Buck Sexton Show. Thanks for listening to The bus Sexton Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcast,

the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. It is The Buck Sexton Show with Michael Pelka sitting in tonight and tomorrow wrapping up twenty twenty from my friend Buck Sexton. Happy to be here, thrilled to be here. Actually, this audience reaches out so frequently. I got a message on social media last night through a Facebook messenger. Somebody said, hey, can you play that Trump Train song again, and I think, yeah,

we'll try and squeeze that in. We have maybe one or two more plays of that little song that we made to honor Donald Trump, and we'll try and squeak. Maybe we'll do it just around the corner. I'm a fan of history, as his buck, and I always like to go back and look at what happened on this day, back in the day to see if we can learn anything. And on this day, back in eighteen forty five, Texas became a state. In fact, it was the twenty eighth

state in the Union Texas. Though it's not the same Texas UC today, there were a few more miles added to it. Let's just say it includes part of what is now Colorado and New Mexico, so kind of a different size Texas. Also on this date, in eighteen fifty one, the first YMCA opened in Boston. I wonder if it's still open, Probably not the same building. Nineteen forty FDR declared the United States to be the arsenal of democracy?

Are we still the arsenal of democracy? I wonder? I know the rest of the world does look up to us. No matter what the Democrats say, we still are the place that most people would like to come to on the State nineteen seventy eight, and I remember watching this game on live TV saying, oh my god, did we just see that the Gator Bowl was being played? Remember

bowl games, there aren't so many thanks to COVID. This year the Gator Bowl was being played in It was Ohio State against Clemson, and Ohio State's coach Woody Hayes, an iconic coach in college football history, got upset when a Clemson player intercepted a pass and started running it back and he actually punched the guy. Charlie Bauman was the player who took a punch from Woody Hayes, who

was not a young man at the time. It was a huge controversy, gigantic and as a matter of fact, Woody Hayes was dismissed from his job the very next day. Big stinking deal. On this date, in nineteen eighty nine, Canada became the first nation to ban smoking on all commercial airline flights. Smoking up until nineteen eighty nine, smoking was and then a lot of other nations jumped in right after it, and frankly, it was a good deal. Nothing like flying in a smoke filled airplane, and there

were times people would smoke cigars on airlines. Thank god, we have clean air in the skies. Now we just have to wear masks, right, that'll soon be over. Nineteen ninety seven. On this day, back in the day, we had something called the bird flu that was breaking out in China. Mm. China where a lot of bad things originate. This was in Hong Kong, though, and the government in Hong Kong said we better do something about this. Their chickens were showing signs of this bird blue outbreak, so

they called the entire herd. The entire Nation's heard more than a million chickens were killed in China to prevent it from getting out of control. I wonder why they didn't do that with the bats or whatever was determined to be the cause the origin of the Wuhan. I'll just let that sit there. You know what, Let's wrap up this hour with a little fun. How about we play the Trump Train one more time. We'll try and play it tomorrow as well. Ladies and gentlemen, thank Bill

for this. He's the one who requested it. Climb on board chain chain. It really is a disgrace. It's called the COVID relief bill, but it has almost nothing to do with kof nine hundred billion dollars package provides hard working taxpayers with only six hundred dollars each in relief fans,

and not enough money is given to small businesses. 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 in a narrative the Trump Trade maybe one of the last times we get to play that. I'll try and squeeze it in once more tomorrow as we finish out twenty twenty. Michael Pelka stepping aside on the Buck Sexton Show. It's Michael Pelka, and I want to tell you the true story of Tim.

Tim owed the IRS three hundred and forty eight thousand dollars in payroll taxes and trust fund penalties. But the story has a happy ending. Its Tim called my friend Perry Cronin with Axiom Tax Resolution Group. Perry and his team were able to settle this debt with the IRS for just one hundred dollars. Axiom Tax Resolution Group only employs CPA's and rold agents and attorneys, and they know how to stop those threatening letters and house calls from

the IRS. If you own more than ten thousand dollars in past two taxes, you need to call Axiom Tax Resolution Group and get your tax problems fixed. I know it's late in the day, but if you have tax problems, call Axiom Tax Resolution right now at eight four four eight tax Pro. That's eight four four eight tax Pro. You'll talk to my friend Perry and start solving your tax problems immediately once again. That's eight four four a tax expro. Or online at axtaxhelp dot com. That's axtaxhelp

Michael Pelka here in the host chair, filling in from my friend Buck, who is enjoying the warm Florida weather. I'm not jealous at all, not in the least bit. No, hardly. Yeah I am. That's okay, I can admit it. But we're almost done with this year, and I'll be here

tonight and tomorrow as well. I've been talking to some of my friends from my Blaze days who are in different functions in the world of journalism around the country, and I want to introduce you to another one of them. His name is John Street. He is the managing editor of a really important website. It's called Campus Reform and

it's at campus reform dot org. And I will tell you, in a world where we seem to be seeing youth gone totally astray, it is comforting to know that there are places where the college campuses actually have kids who understand conservatism and are being helped along, nudged into I don't know, capitalism and small government and big freedoms, which is I think what campus reform fights for. So I want to get into some of the hot topics of the day on campus Reform. John Street, Welcome, my friend,

Thanks for having me. I'm glad you're here. It was this the weirdest year in terms of college campuses. Did the distance learning kind of tamp down some of the insanity we've seen in previous years with like safe spaces and all of the other madness we witnessed in the years before twenty Well, unfortunately, just like everything else in twenty twenty, all of the campus indoctrination, all of the campus coddling all of that went from in person to virtual.

So the the lectures that we would see from students in class recording their professors going on these anti conservative, anti capitalists, anti Christian, you know, race based rants in class, those all kind of shifted online to virtual to you know, virtual class sessions that in many ways kind of helped us to expose and just helped parents to see just

what their kids were being taught in school. And that prompted the parents to take a step back and say, hey, we'll wait a minute, what am I exactly paying here for my children to go to college for twenty grand a year and this is what I get out of it? So I think it in many ways shine the lights on just how rampant the indoctrination runs in higher education. But also I think we saw UM just how how easy it is, or how convenient it is for many

students to shift to more online UM based classes. When we when we do go back to a semi normal world after, you know, most of more the country gets fascinated UM. So I think we could see a shift away from perhaps some of the on campus culture UM that's facilitating a lot of the the social justicey UM and you know Campus Coddilly workshops that these schools often provide the students would go to voluntarily but not maybe not receive course credit for, and they may just take

those classes online. Yeah, it's kind of it's kind of interesting to watch and see where this all goes. The distance learning that we saw in the last year. I don't saily think it's been successful, but I wonder if it's been as damaging as a lot of people have said. Now, I'm someone who went to college in the late seventies, John, so that tells you how long ago and how old I am, and distance learning was not something we would have ever seen or even if thought could have worked.

The college experience was more of a communal experience, more akin to Animal House if you've seen the movie, which I'm sure you have. And I just can't imagine anyone growing up, and I mean that literally, actually having the experience of growing up with distance learning, because you don't get the immersion of the social experience. And I think that will be the biggest thing that's lacking going forward in these kids' lives. So I hope it changes for

them going forward. Let's talk about some of the other social issues black lives matter, and it trenched element it seems on college campuses. What are you guys seeing as it involves black lives matter in college campuses today? Well back in you know, late May or June, throughout the summer, it was it was interesting to see how many colleges and their administrations came out in full throoted support of

Black lives matter. And you know, we tried to take a look at each one and just see if they were saying, you know, because because of course, you know, you know, black lives, we should cherish all lives and value all lives. But we kind of take a lookout and differentiated between when the school was saying what I just said and when they were kind of offering endorsement

of the Black Lives Matter movement. And it was studying to see just how many colleges would come out in a full throoted endorsement of the Black Lives Matter movement and go out of their way to try to differentiate what they were saying. There not to mention the number of instances where we saw, including a case where there was a dean at the University of Massachusetts who was fired after she sends an email saying that black lives matter,

but also everyone's life matters. There was a backlash as a result of that email, and she ended up getting fired for writing that email to students, just for saying everyone's life matters. So we're literally living in a time where it's so controversial to say that everyone's life matters. They're all out of matter, and that we've gotten to a point where that sort of a statement can get

you fired from universities in this country. And that should really send a chill down all of our spines because it violates what this country was founded upon. It's a gross infringement of our free speech. And you know, it just shows that if you don't, if you don't agree to to adhere to what the leftist script is on black lives matter, then your job could be at risk and your livelihood could be at risk. It's amazing she

lost her job. I wonder if she's suing or I wonder if they gave her some kind of golden parachute to get out. But that, to me, is an egregious violation of just general speech in this country. I was at the final night of the RNC in DC this past August and walking home and I was accosted by many of the people in the streets of Washington, DC after the event ended, just before midnight, and there was a woman standing on the corner near Black Lives Matter

plazid just screaming at everyone black Lives matter. And I looked at her and I said, why, yes, they do. And she chased me, not exactly sprinting, but followed me for about a half a block saying what does that mean? What does what does that actually mean? And I realized that any answer would be the wrong answers, so I just kept walking. I should never engage, I guess is

the ultimate answer. But that saddens me that we can't have a difference of opinion or even add a layer to an opinion without having someone attack us verbally or in the case of this dean at you mask professionally. And speaking of schools, the Leadership Institute is behind campus reform. I got that right, correct, Yes, the leadership in stuts campus form. Okay, so they're the ones who are helping you guys stay afloat and have all of these great

programs across all these campuses. What are using As it relates to campuses in the IVY League. I know you had a story about what the heck was going on in Harvard with the attempts to cancel anyone from appearing who had a relationship or connection to the Trump administration. Yeah,

it was. It was really crazy because there was there were a few weeks back when there were there was a petition circulating at Harvard University, which you know, the self proclaimed fristigious school that you know, many of our presidents and members of Congress attend and graduate from. There was a petition circul lingue at that school calling on Harvard to ban any Trump administration official from going into

a teaching or fellowship rule with the school. You know, oftentimes outgoing administrations, members of that administration will we'll get jobs in higher education talking about and kind of um and teaching students about what it's like to work in the presidential administration. That's all valuable, and but it seems that they're only interested in hearing those experiences if it's from a democratic administration, because in this case, they didn't

want to hear from Trump administration officials. I do think it's it's important point out that there there wasn't known any known outspoken support from the Harvard administration, but they

didn't exactly denounce it either. They but I think the sentiments that led these students to literally call on the school to ban Trump administration officials, I think just goes to just goes to show the kind of environment that Harvard administrators and Harvard professors are creating in which students feel emboldened or empowered to call for a band like

this in the first place. You know, we've seen analysis after analysis that we've done with the Leadership Instuose Campas Reform showing that academics and higher education they give political donations to Democrats or Republicans by about a nine to

one ratio. And you know, you could say, well, that doesn't really seep into the classroom, except we've gotten so many, you know, examples of quizzes and reading assignments and lectures from professors that are just so anti capitalist, anti conservative, just leftist pocket points one after another, in many cases even anti American lectures and quizzes and reading assignments, And so you have to didn't wonder, is there are there political donations and their views that fuel those are they

not seeing seeping in the classroom, because it really seems like they are. Yeah, they have to be. It absolutely has to go. Follow the money. People follow the money and you'll understand where the politics is going to go because it is never too far behind. We're talking to John Street from Campus Reformed. Johnah got just about a minute and a half left. I know you sent me a note and said, the biggest problem going forward on

college campuses is coming from overseas. Do you really, guys, do you guys really rate China Communist China as the greatest risk we face in our colleges. I do, and here's why. So we have uncovered campus after campus after campus that has opened and it's still operating in many cases. And we have a map that you can see on campus reform dot org that shows just the number of

confucious institutes that are operating college campuses. Now. China builds these as cultural centers where people can learn the language and the culture of China. All that's fine and great if that was indeed the case. But what we're seeing is that China, by its own admission, one of their prior propaganda ministers, not to mention, our own intelligence agencies here in the US have said that these confusion institutes operate as no more than propaganda center centers for the

Chinese Communist Party. And then when you look at just the amounts of money flowing into these universities in medicases, millions of dollars per university, billions of dollars across the entire country that these countries are receiving from China, Chinese entities which we all know are controlled by the Chinese Communist part because there is really no such thing as

as an independent entity in China. When you see that money flowing in from China, and then add that to the confusion institutes operating on college campuses yet spewing Chinese propaganda, you really have to wonder are these really American universities with American interests at hearts or have we allowed kind us to seep into American academia and influence our young people's minds who would then go on to become our

nations leaders. And I think that's a real threat to our democracy and one that we really need to be on top of. I think you're generous when you say seep into their minds. It's more like the coronavirus has infected the bodies. We have the communist virus, which I know that's dramatic, but it does seem to have a unique parallel. His name is John Street. He is a managing editor of Campus Reform dot org. You should go there and find out what they are doing to help

the kids on college campuses. And if you have a kid on a college campus or our one, you should go there. Anyway, Thank you, my friend. Happy New Year to you and yours. Happy to hear Mike thinks and he's gone. Michael Palca also taking a break on The Buck Sexton Show. We'll be right back. You're in the Freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Mike Opelka in for

my friend Buck and it. Just got a text message from a buddy mine named Henry, who said, you know that that guy from the Campus Reform group, Why didn't you talk to him about the story The New York Times ran, which basically celebrated a woman being canceled and being forced to renounce her entrance into college because of a years old video where she used the N word in a three second video. Basically, it was used against her. Somebody got this video years ago waited until this young

lady had selected her college and then posted it. And this reckoning, as the New York Times called it, has pretty much ruined this young girl's life. At the moment, she was the varsity cheering captain and dreamed of going to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. And when she made the announcement that that's where she was headed she had been accepted, this guy unleashed this three second video from two or three years earlier, and her life was ruined.

And I asked John, can we talk about this? And he said, no, We're still investigating this. We're still looking to make sure we can get the entire story on this, because a lot of people are saying she was thrown out, that the school told her you can't come here, And it looks like responsible reporting is showing that the young lady pulled herself out of it. And maybe there was pressure from the school, maybe there wasn't. We don't know.

But I always respect a journalist who says I'm not going to rush to get the story out just to be first. I'd rather get the story right, and that's what John and the people at Campus Reform are doing. They're waiting until they get the whole what is their name, Mimi Groves story in full, or they opine or posted online. I suspect this is my own thinking, nobody else that the school said. We understand there's outrage about this. We

don't think it was intentional. This is my speculation again, why don't you take a gap year and withdraw and come back and maybe the opportunity will be here after a year. I'm just saying that is one possibility that may have happened, But I'm totally against this kind of character assassination. People waiting with clips from teenagers from years ago and saying, oh yeah, well what about the time

you said this. It's really kind of evil, especially when you take a fifteen year old's words and use it against an eighteen year old adult. It's kind of unfair, But that's just me, Michael Pelka stepping aside. When we get back, I want to introduce you to a friend of mine who is possibly the greatest survival trainer ever. Kreik Stewart joins us next 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. It's Michael Pelka in for Buck on the Buck Sexton Show. Where does the time go out? Just looking up at the clock and it's almost time for us to get out of here. I can't believe it. I'll be back tomorrow, though, and we'll look back at some of the moments of twenty twenty, some of the highs,

some of the lows. Some of the most embarrassing things that we witnessed in the past twelve months, and there were a lot of them have to do with the mainstream media. I'm not gonna lie about it, and I think they really should be embarrassed by some of their behaviors, especially those people over at CNN, who I don't think remember what journalism really is about. Jake Tapper and Jim Acosta getting a lot of heat in the last twenty four hours. Tapper accusing the Press Secretary Kaylee mcinaney of

just lying every time she opens her mouth. This was Tapper two days ago talking about how he'd never book her on the show. There are some people that are such they're just so mendacious. I just wouldn't put them on air. Kaylee mcinaney. I never booked her. Jason Miller from the Trump campaign, I would never book him. I mean, these are just people who just they just tell lies

the way that you know most people breathe. And yet they will book Eric Swalwell, they will book Adam Schiff, they will book people who wouldn't know the truth of it. Came up and bit him on the face. Don't get me started on Brian Stelter. Oh oh, but Acosta, Jim Acosta, also known as a Bilio. That's his real first name, a Bilio Acosta. He changed it to a more acceptable name.

I guess he thinks in the media. It's the same thing with the mayor of New York who was born Warren Wilhelm but changed his name to build Blasio because Bill de Blasio sounds like some of you who'd vote for. True story. He changed his name when he got into politics because he was worried people wouldn't vote for Voen Wilhelm unless they were voting for the chancellor or de Fjora.

Maybe maybe de Blasio. Anyway, the word on Jim Hasta is he's going to cover the presidency of Joe Biden a lot differently than he covered the presidency of Donald Trump. Of course, we know you all are. You're going to give them a free pass. That's how you people operate. I've got more to say about the mainstream media because the Trump accountability project is still out there, and we'll

cover that before we get out of here tonight. But I see my friend Creek Stewart is holding My buddy, Creek Stewart, the man behind Fat Guys in the Woods and some of the greatest survival television you will ever see. Creek is somebody I stalked as a viewer because I love to show Fat Guys in the Woods, and we became friends. I didn't really stalk him in the way of stalking, you know, just wrote him notes and said, Hey,

come on the radio, let's talk. And he is one of the more fascinating guys, one of the youngest Eagle Scouts ever in the history of scouting, and now he is the best survival trainer ever, skills that you will need, and he's joining us here to talk about his brand new show that's premiering, I guess in just a couple of days. Creek Stewart, Welcome to the buck Sexton show my friend. Oh Man, Mike, it's really good to talk to you. Man, so so good to be back on

your show. Well, I'm glad you're here, and I will tell you when I look back on twenty twenty, and I'm glad to see it go happy to see it. Leaving, I thought to myself, the one guy I know who could get through all of this, the lack of toilet paper, the concerns about food, all of that stuff is Creek, because Creek's able to survive anything. So I'm wondering, how did you and your family fair during the COVID. Well,

we fared pretty well. You know. The twenty twenty was a really interesting year for us too, So I mean, one thing for sure is that it really it really made me think about my own preparations for hunkering down, you know, even as a survival instructor. You know, it was a really interesting reminder for me and I have had a resurgence and just an interest in preparedness and long term food storage and honkering kind of bugging in skills,

personally bugging in. I like that because I know you've often talked with me about what should be in a bugout bag. If you had to run pretty quickly from a situation. And I've got a bugout bag in the back of my car, and it's not my golf bag, even though a lot of you would suspect that. But bugging in is making sure that where you stay or where you are has everything you need. God forbid something

goes haywire completely in our world. You like to say, it's not a matter of if, but a matter of when. And we're starting to see more whens these days. Great, aren't we? Yeah, we sure are. You know. I used to I used to think that natural disasters were our number one threat, But I don't know. I don't know these days. I don't know if it's natural disasters anymore. So I'm for to find the home front for a

lot of different reasons. I think that's why you know you'd be prepared for anything that comes down the pike. Now you have been. You've made several different shows on the Weather Channel, and you've looked at people who've been amazing survivors. I've followed that series where you've showed us people who've made it through impossible situations. But you've got something new coming up, and it's debuting in a few days. What's the new series about. Well, the new series is

a continuation of the shows How to Survive. So the new show is called Could You Survive? With Creek Stewart and it is a similar show concept to SOOS How to Survive. We are finding people who have struggled through real life survival scenarios and we're telling those stories. It is in a new format, so we're telling them in a new and interesting way. A lot I'm teaching a ton of skills in this theories and we're really getting down and dirty with the details of the stories that

we're covering. We filmed the entire the entire production pretty much during the heat of COVID up in Canada, and so I had the opportunity to film in some really unique places in Canada and just meet some absolutely incredible people who have survived the craziest stories survival stories I've ever heard in my life. Can you give us a teaser on one of them, like, just a little snip of one of these craziest surv stories. Yeah, absolutely, So.

Our season premiere is Sunday on the Weather Channel and one of the stories that we'll be opening with is a guy named Jose who lives in Texas, and he crashed his car on a busy highway. It drove off the road and into the woods, only about one hundred yards from a major highway. But he was so injured that it took him a full day to crawl from where he was in the woods he'd been thrown out of the vehicle to crawl from there to his car, and he ended up having to survive literally right next

to his car for days until someone found him. And he was so injured that it was a struggle for him to even get into his car. And so I teach some really interesting kind of hybrid urban and survival skills using vehicle parts and pieces. So it's a really really unique and captivating story. You are like the survival mcgiver. You know, you can look at something and say, Okay, we have this, this and this, and it normally is a car, but by the end of the day, it's

going to be a shell. There's going to be a stove in there, and we're gonna basically split the atom as well. I just love the way you look at stuff. I have to tell the audience. Creek Stewart and I walked around New York City and looked at different survival things. And one of my favorite moments was walking around Central Park with you and I said, could could we survive here if every everybody else was gone? You know, if if the bomb dropped and all we had with Central Park?

And you said, yeah, yeah, look look over here, got docs, you got squirrels, you got If you haven't eaten squirrels, stew, you haven't lived. So I just love that way of looking at the world and finding ways to make use of things that may not be apparent based on their intended use. So this is gonna be very cool. This is premiering on the Weather Channel Sunday evening, episode one. It is it called can You Survive? This? Is that

what it is? It's called Could You Survive? Could You Survive? Sunday? Yeah, Sunday evening at ten pm Eastern. Well, you know I'm going to be watching because I'm a creek freaking that is kind of where I fall. I have a thought for you, though, Craike. You know, it's been a while since Fat Guys in the Woods, Right, It's been a few years, and there were only X number of episodes

of this fantastic series. I think we could do fatter guys in the woods because all of us who've gained a few weights, a few pounds since COVID could be brought out into the woods and maybe help people burn off what they've put on while sitting at home. Free idea. I love it. I love it. I may run with that. I tell you what, There's never been a better time to be in the woods than this past year. Though. You know, you're away from people, You're away from all

the craziness going on. The woods is a good place right now, and it's full of food and shelter and and time to think, which is what a lot of people really should be doing these days, sitting and think. His name is Creek Stewart, Creek. Where's the best place to find you online? Real simple? Justminame dot com Creek Stewart dot com, Creek Stewart dot com. One of the one of the greats in A nice guy as well. Thank you, my friend. Appreciate you being there. I hope

you and the family. By the way, your son, he's gonna bump you off TV before long, you know, the kids a star. Yeah, he's working. He's getting an earlier start than I did. That's for sure. He's fantastic. Thank you for sharing. Creek. Hey, thanks Mike, always a pleasure man, Creek Stewart, check him out, and if you are so inclined, find the old episodes of Fat Guys in the Woods.

Fascinating stuff and it got me thinking maybe I need to learn a little more about how to survive if I were trapped somewhere, you know, unexpectedly, Michael Palka stepped us. We'll come back and wrap up tonight's edition of 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. Michael Palka here sitting

in from my friend Buck Sexton. Thrilled to be here, Happy you joined us, and I appreciate all of you who reached out. So many on Facebook, thanks, and so many on Twitter as well. I'm also on Instagram, but I tend to post like thoughtful things on Instagram and a couple of my political friends are like, yeah, your Instagram posts are whimpy. Well, you know, I get a little arty on Instagram, So forgive me for not being a political animal all the time. As I've said here,

man does not live by politics alone. There are other things out there and we can have a little fun too, So if you want to follow me, politics pretty much shows up on Twitter. Facebook is a combination and Instagram. I tend to lean a little bit over to kind of the artsie FARTZI stuff or just flat out silly stuff. I post a lot of memes and there are a lot of funny memes out there, and those are based in politics. Yes, so join me, hang out with me tomorrow.

We will dive into some of the some of the crazy stories of the past twelve months, obviously the pandemic being among them one of the biggest, and will replace some of the great pandemic parodies of the last year, because there are many many. But I was just checking out what Biden was saying today, Joe Biden, who had one of his briefings today, And it sounds to me like Joe Biden is going to be a big spender.

You know, he's dropping hints that if and when he is sworn in on the twentieth of January, god for bid, that he's going to be a tax and spend liberal. And here's a little bit of the hint he gave today. You know, the founders are pretty smart, and there's a reason why all the states and localities have to have a balanced budget. Were allowed federally to run a deficit.

Federally allowed to run a deficit. Sounds very different from the Joe Biden in nineteen ninety one, the guy who was standing up in the Senate screaming about freezing everything in the federal budget, about really putting the brakes on all federal spending. Do you think this guy would be allowed in the Democrat Party today? We should freeze federal spending. I mean so security as well. I'm at Medicare, Medicaid, Meckin,

I'm at every single solitary thing in the government. Can you imagine if a Democrat said that on the campaign trail? If a Democrat said I think we should freeze all federal spending, they would have marched him out of the party. He would not have been allowed into a convention if they had a convention. We all know it was virtual, But this is kind of like going back and looking at what JFK said because Kennedy. Kennedy would have been tossed out of the Democratic Party before he even got

his card filled out. Joe Biden from nineteen ninety one a little bit different than Joe Biden from twenty twenty. This guy, this guy might have gotten some GOP votes. I'm just saying we should freeze federal spending. I mean so security as well. I meant Medicare, Medicaid, I meant meckin, I'm at every single solitary thing in the government. If only, if only there were Democrats who believed that if you don't have money, you shouldn't spend it. Now they're busy

sending money over to Pakistan to do gender studies. They're busy sending almost a half a billion dollars to Central America to find out why people want to come to America, why people would risk walking hundreds of miles in really rough terrain to come to America. While if the two thousand dollars stimulus checks pass, guess what, some of the undocumented people who came here from Central America will be eligible to fill out the paperwork and get some of

those checks. I'm just I'm not happy about it, And the things I want to say I can't say on the radio. We'll dive into some more this tomorrow and we'll get into, as I said, some of the memories of the past twelve months, the good, the bad, the ugly, and maybe look hopefully at the coming year. At least we'll try to. I've got a couple of surprises up my sleeve. You'll have to be here to find out. Michael Pelka sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton on

The Buck Sexton Show. As we like to say when we end each and every show, test studo, my friends, test studo, we should freeze federal spending. I mean so security as well. I'm at Medicare, Medicaid, I'm at Meckin, I'm at every single solitary thing in the government. All right, Joe, now get out of here. We got it. You're in the freedom Hunt. This is The Buck Sexton Show podcast
