Comrade de Blasio 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:22.520 has been on a number of times with people that 0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:28.240 describe themselves as Democratic socialists, so that people understand that 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:31.880 this is a real movement. People have very different beliefs, 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:34.879 for example, than I do. It's been respectful. I think 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:36.960 in every case Land I can't think of anyone getting 0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:41.840 out of control. But so it's a pleasure to welcome 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:46.280 to the program. Corbin Shrent. Now Corbin Shrent is a 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:51.839 Democratic strategist, the former communications director for Congresswoman Alexandria A. 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:56.760 Cassio Cortes, and a former aide to Senator Bernie Sanders. 0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:01.360 And we appreciate you taking time been to be with us. 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:01.760 Thank you. 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:04.520 Glad to be here, Sean, glad to be here. 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.760 By the way, just so you know, I feel I've 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:13.720 interpreted this this fight the oligarchy tour of Bernie and AOC, 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:18.039 and I think This is Bernie passing the torch of 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:20.840 you know, the radical left as I call it, socialist 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:26.080 left community. Bernie's a communist, you know, to AOC. Would 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.480 you agree with that assessment because if you look at 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:32.200 polls now, AOC is leading in the pack in terms 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.200 of the twenty twenty eight presidential election. 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.960 Am I Do I agree with the assessment that Bernie 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.000 to comedy you know? No? 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.720 Do you agree with the assessment that the during the 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:45.240 Fight the Oligarchy tour, that Bernie was passing the torch, 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:50.000 his torch to AOC to take up the mantle. 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.000 I don't really think it works that way in a movement. 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:53.800 I don't think you really get to pass the torch 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.400 so much as you know, people grab it or it's taken. 0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.000 I think definitely you're seeing. 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.240 Well he chose Harry could have chosen anybody else to 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.200 be on tour with, and besides Bernie, I would say 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:08.800 the most effective Democratic endorsers have been Bernie and AOC. 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:10.600 You wouldn't disagree with that, would you? 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.160 No. Obviously that they've been very effective. I mean they're 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.800 good at speaking to people where they're at, and they're 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:19.040 good at amplifying and talking about what people are feeling 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.440 and their problems, and I think they're also good at 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.560 talking about solutions. That's one of the reasons he took 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.360 her with him, because she's good at connecting the human beings. 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:28.840 I think it's an important part of politics, being able 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.440 to connect the people's pain and then offer solutions. And 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.560 that's one of the things that we're seeing. That's why 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.000 this movement is getting so popular across the country. 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.520 That's why you and I agree. 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:44.919 Since twenty nineteen, two hundred and fifty DSA members have 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.160 have won their elections. I think we're going to have 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.799 over forty this midterm election cycle, so that's a lot. 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.760 There's no doubt about it. The movement is real. I'm 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.600 telling my audience to believe it and take it seriously. 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:01.480 Let me start with this. The ds website recently put 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:05.440 up praise for Fidel Castro on what would have been 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:06.520 his hundredth birthday. 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:08.760 Do you support that? 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.600 I mean, the funny thing is, like, you know, what 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:11.959 do we do? 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.400 This is a simple question. Do you support the praise 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:16.320 of Fidel Castro. 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.120 What I don't support is the embargo against too Bright 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:19.600 Now is killing. 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:21.680 I didn't ask if you supported the embargo. Come on, 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:26.120 answer the question. Do you do you praise people like 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:30.960 like for example, Hassan Piker, very outspoken, has praised Fidel, 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.760 has praised you know, and even dressed up like maw. 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.680 You know, he doesn't hide who he is. He's proud 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:38.720 of his beliefs. Are you proud of your beliefs? 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.120 I'm very proud of my beliefs, extremely pro Okay. 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.160 Can you support the DSA agenda? Correct? 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.560 I support the building of infrastructure, the building of the 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.440 things that we need in this country, in this country, 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.200 and that's what we've been losing since nineteen eighty. 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:55.520 Okay, So if I'm looking for your analysis, I'll ask 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.840 for it. I'm asking they put up praise for Fidel Castro. 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.160 Do you think that was the right decision? Do you 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:02.800 believe he deserves praise. 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:04.760 I wouldn't have done it. I wouldn't have put it up. 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:09.320 Why Batista, Why would you have not put it up? 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.240 And I don't think it. I don't think it helps 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:11.960 the conversation. 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.840 Well, but well, it's the DSA and they've got two 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:18.479 hundred and fifty candidates and forty more running this year, 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:22.359 so it's very relevant to the events. You know, Castro 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:26.479 killed thousands and thousands of Cubans. Castro confiscated the land 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.159 of many, many Cuban people. It was no more private 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:36.080 home ownership. Castro led his country into utter poverty and misery. 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:37.640 You know that, right, I mean that. 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:39.920 Do you really want to talk about the history of qum. 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.719 But it's on the DSA website. It's a simple question 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:44.400 that you're making hard. All right, let me, let me, 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.080 let me go to the DSA website. This is what 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.800 they have up. They want to eliminate the Senate, and 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:54.360 they no longer want the American people to choose our president, 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:55.839 and they want to pack the courts. 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:57.240 Do you support that platform? 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.360 They want the American people to choose the president, yes, 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:00.480 I think colleges. 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.200 No, no, no, they don't want the American people to choose 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.360 the president. They want Congress to choose it. It's right 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:06.480 up there on their website. 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:08.719 Now, I think the better choice there is to do 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:10.480 popular vote and do away with electoral college. 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:11.920 Do you want to eliminate the Senate? 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:14.360 I definitely think that we should. I mean I don't 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:15.960 think we should eliminate the Senate probably, No. 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:21.320 Do you want to pack the judiciary with liberal justices. 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.720 Now, actually I want to impeach some of the ones 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.360 that the committed crimes and ones that have declared things. 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.440 Name one one justice that committed a crime. 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:33.479 Well, I think Clarence Thomas is definitely edging on it. 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.680 What what crime did he commit? 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.080 Bribes? Well, I mean he's got very closely. 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.680 Oh, he got bribed by who he got bribed by? 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.719 You made an allegation. And by the way, if you 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.440 don't have evidence that could be slanders. I'm warning you, 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:50.040 you know you're on very very fragile legal ground here. 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.360 Who did he who got brib who bribed him? 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.919 I mean the specific name of the guy I haven't recalled. 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.760 I'm not turn So you don't really have evidence that 0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:00.920 he took a bribe. 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:02.240 I mean, I'm not an attorney. 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.520 You're not an attorney, So maybe you shouldn't make an 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.560 allegation as serious that a Supreme Court justice took a 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:11.200 bribe if you don't have any evidence, right, So I'll 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.159 take that as you're sorry and that you misspoke. You 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.440 want to leave it there so it'll help you out, no, 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:18.000 because you might be in legal trouble. 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.960 Otherwise, Harlan Crowe, We'll go with Harlan Crowe. 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.360 The person that is Harlan Crowe, this has been very 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:25.160 close with and has had. 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.200 And you have any evidence he took a bribe? 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:28.880 We know he took money. We know he took luve 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:29.680 for he travel guests. 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.200 Do you have any evidence he took a bribe. 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:33.719 I know that he took money. 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:34.880 Yes, Okay. 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:39.839 What about amnesty for illegals and to abolish our borders 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:43.080 and abolish ice? Do you support those three things? Do 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:44.920 you want amnesty for illegals want? 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:45.680 Yes or no? 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:46.680 I think we should go with. 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:52.680 Amnesty Reagan's amnesty. And you want you want to abolish 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:54.040 borders in this country? 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.120 No? I think borders are useful. 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.760 So we should secure our borders and people should be 0:06:58.800 --> 0:06:59.920 forced to come in legally. 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.440 Yes, but I think we need a massive amount. 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:04.960 Well, if you want to secure the borders and you 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:06.960 want people to come in legally, why would you give 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.920 the people that didn't come in legally amnesty and people 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.040 like Avenussom and the other sanctuary states give free health 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:14.360 care and other benefits. 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:15.720 Well, the reason you. 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.360 Would do this is because people's grandmothers depend on the 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.320 money that they're paying into the system to be able. 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:21.360 To have some. 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:24.920 So you want to reward the law breaking with government 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:30.280 benefits from law abiding American taxpayers. No, the actual well no, 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.280 well who that's who's going to pay for it. They 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.520 entered the country illegally. You want them to have benefits. 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.440 So you said that those benefits will be paid for 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.920 by the American people, and you're for that. 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:42.400 You just told me you're for that. 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:44.600 I know it's complicated to follow a sentence, but what 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.320 I said was the people that are here working as 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:51.640 undocumented workers are paying for other Americans grandparents, social Security, 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.800 and medicare not the people that are here in the work. 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:55.960 They're not going to get. 0:07:56.280 --> 0:08:00.520 Well, we have, with Biden, over twelve million unvetted illegals 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:04.040 from over two hundred countries. We have known terrorists, murderers, rapists, 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:07.960 child molesters, cartel members, and gang members. How do you 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:11.360 distinguish between those that maybe wanted a better life and 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:15.040 those that have no nefarious intentions for our country? 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:16.600 Well, I mean, I think we've got a lot of 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:17.200 ways of doing that. 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:17.400 Now. 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.200 We've got flock cameras everywhere, we got illegal wire taps 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:21.840 going on, we got all kinds of surveiling. 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:23.760 No, we don't have illegal wire taps. Do you have 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:25.120 any evidence of that charge? 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.200 I mean there was lots of evidence that came out 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.040 about that for years. Absolutely, and we've just seen in. 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.599 National Security that that would have happened under Komi and 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:34.880 Director Ray. 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.160 But that's a different issue. Do you want to what 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:38.400 bolish ICE? Yes or no? 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:38.880 Yeah? 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.640 Absolutely, I think we need to go back there. Okay, naturally, do. 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.920 You want to defund the Department of War? 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.680 I think nothing, And let's go back to ICE. Anything 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.040 that came out of the September eleventh attacks that has 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.079 been used to surveil the American citizen ry. 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:56.679 Well, who's going to arrest all the drug dealers, known terrorists, murderers, 0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:00.440 child molesters in the country If we don't have a 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.800 Department of Homeland Security that will risk their lives to 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.920 deport people that don't belong here that commit more crimes here. 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.760 What do you think we had in like nineteen ninety nine. 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.200 I'm asking you a question, who else will do it? 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:13.839 Do you want the police to do it? Because I'm 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.920 assuming you want to defund the police, right. 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.000 No, I do want to de militarize the police, like 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:19.880 for example. 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:23.520 Out so they should, so they shouldn't have firearm with them. 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.160 No, No, they shouldn't have armored personnel carriers in a 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:28.240 rural community. I don't think that they can. 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.120 They can be armed and on the job. And you 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:32.920 don't want to cut back on police spending. 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.439 No, I think we need probably a little bit more 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.160 police spending. I think the police need to be paid 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.319 more to you know, we need to make sure that 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:41.720 they're not going to be corrupt anymore. 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.920 Okay, job, do you want to eliminate all cash bell? 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:47.480 I think that yes. I think we definitely have to 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.320 reform that. One of the things that you see is 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:52.360 that people sit in detention for sometimes you know. 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.480 All right, so you want to eliminate A good, fair answer, 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.360 thank you.

I don't want to really express my real 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.360 points of view because we already know you ducking and 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:41.160 dodging and weaving that you really believe it, but you're 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:42.080 afraid to say it. 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:42.760 Isn't that true. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:44.600 What I know is that if we're going to make 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.360 America great again, we got to look at what made 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.880 it grade before. And I'll tell you the Vanderbilt. 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.160 We never had socialism before, we never had a New 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.360 Green Deal before. I'll tell you what you want to 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.080 stay over for one minute. I want to ask you 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:56.160 about the Green New Deal. 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:57.480 Okay, yeah, all right? 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:02.800 Corbyn Trent, democratic strategist, former communications director for Director for AOC, 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:06.080 former aid to Bernie Sanders. Quick break, right back, we'll 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:07.280 continue on the other side. 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:09.720 Do you support medicare for all yes? Do you support 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:10.800 universal childcare? 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:11.240 Yes? 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:16.520 There the abolition device yes, the Green New Deal yes, 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:20.680 National rent control yes, Ending the embargo on Cuba yes, 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:24.960 ending aid to Israel yes. Sanctioning Israel, yes, a free Palestine. 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:26.560 Yes. So the two. 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:30.120 Things that we're famous for is are committed to a 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:35.479 program and our hatred of the United States Constitution. 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.320 I think we can see from each of these candidates 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.520 that they have exactly what it takes to succeed. 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:41.640 And we've heard from. 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:43.880 A publican's time and again that they're going to try 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:47.080 and make these candidates the face of the Democratic Party. 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:49.800 To them, I say that we are ready for that. 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:52.480 All right, We're holding over corbyin Trent. Were having a 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.520 hard time getting straight answers at him. He's a Democratic strategist, 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:59.960 former communications director for AOC, former aid to Bernie Sander. 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:05.680 All Right, so let me ask this question because Democrats 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.200 in the DSA say on their website they want to 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:11.240 establish a wealth tax, they want to pass the Green 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:13.560 New Deal. Now, they also said they want to eliminate 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:17.320 the Senate, they no longer want people to choose the president. 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:21.080 They want to pack the courts, they want amnesty for illegals. 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:24.240 They want to abolish borders, abolish highs, defund the Department 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:29.720 of War and all deportations, eliminate cash bell, abolish prisons 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:33.480 and police, establish a wealth tax, pass a Green New 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:35.960 Deal in public ownership of most corporations. I want to 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.400 ask you about the Green New Deal. So, the Green 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:42.280 New Deal offers pretty much cradle to grave, womb to 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:50.240 the tomb, everything for everybody. And that means guaranteed government daycare. 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:54.800 That means guaranteed government job. That means guaranteed government wage, 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:58.960 that means guaranteed government healthy food. That means, you know, 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:02.440 government health insurance, that means government retirement. 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.840 Everybody gets everything guaranteed. 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:08.679 By the government. Are you a supporter of that? Because 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:12.480 AOC you worked with and Ernie Sanders who you work with, 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:13.239 they support it. 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:16.440 Well, the Green New Deal actually is an industrial policy. 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:18.520 It's a transitional industrial policy to. 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:20.880 Bring Oh my gosh, you know you're annoying as health. 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:24.080 Can you just can you? Do you support it or not? 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:27.560 Do you support those policies? Do you support the Green 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:28.080 New Deal? 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:30.760 I helped write the Green New Deal and what you 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:31.480
