WEBVTT - The Malevolent Seven Impeachment Managers 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:15.560 You are entering the freedom hunt. Democrat debate was a dud, 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:18.640 but there was at least one interesting exchange we'll get 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:22.119 into together. They're all on the far left now, so 0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:24.760 we'll break down some of the policy proposals that the 0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:29.160 Socialist Democrats are putting forward. And of course the impeachment 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:33.560 managers have been named, the articles are being transmitted headed 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:35.519 over to the Senate. What's going to happen next? That 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:39.440 and more coming up? This is the Buck Sexon Show, 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:42.560 where the mission or mission is to decode what really 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:50.320 matters with actionable intelligence, magnor mistake America. You're a great American. Again, 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:58.080 the Buck Sexon Show begins. He's a great guy. Now, 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:03.200 Welcome the Bucks Extent Show, everybody. Because I am a 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:09.640 devoted host, because I believe so strongly in spending many, 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:14.880 many hours of my time to distill the most important information, 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.600 analysis and thoughts. Because I know all of you are 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.160 quite busy with your lives doing things other than hosting 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:23.120 radio shows. I try to make the best use of 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:28.080 your time and this day will be no exception to that. 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:32.120 As I can tell you having sat through the Democrat 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:37.880 debate last night, there is very little, very little of 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:41.640 substance to get into. I'm going to save you two 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.680 hours of time right now in case you haven't watched 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:47.520 it or thinking about it. The Democrats want to take 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.080 more of your money and freedom away to give stuff 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.960 inefficiently to other people who did not earn it through 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:57.160 corrosion by a government that cannot afford it. That's a 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:00.640 Democrat debate. Save you two hours. You're welcome, team Buck, 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.440 That's what I'm here for. Help you out be a 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.320 good guy like that. It was. It was quite quite 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.760 a mess up there last night. And I'm sorry, but 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:11.720 I can't help but get a little bit of a 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:16.480 chuckle out of the Democrats who have created this wokeness culture, 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.919 cancel culture, hyper political correctness that no one can even 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.160 really define, that changes day to day, and the obsession 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:29.880 with diversity that pushes so much of it, that is 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:34.200 such a central part of political correctness. And you had 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:38.000 a whole bunch of old white Democrats on stage last night. Yes, 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:42.440 I know Mayor Pete was there, he's not old, but 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.919 the rest of them, it was quite a boring crew. 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:49.920 And also we have seen that Tom Steier is perhaps 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:54.399 the world's first billionaire who seems only able to afford 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.959 one tie. This producer mark, this guy was wearing. He 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.280 likes this tartan plaid tie. You know, that's the only 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.040 thing that is gonna apparently get it done for him. 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:06.919 He wears the same tie at every debate. Maybe that's 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:10.399 his style, Maybe that's like his signature, his thing. Yeah, 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:12.720 fair enough, but I feel like he could does he 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.480 have many of the same tie though. That's what Sometimes 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.040 people see me wearing, like a blue shirt or a 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:18.840 white shirt more than once on TV, and I want 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.120 to tell them. I know, I'm not like, I'm not 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:24.160 making like the super big Bucks. But the Buck can't 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:27.160 afford more than one shirt in the same color. I'm 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:29.000 not just wearing the same blue or white shirt every 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:30.200 time I go on to you. You know, we'll have 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.320 to I just like the classics. I like the classics. 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.760 I'll get Tom Steyer on, We'll ask him about his ties. Yea. 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:36.240 Some of you may be saying, wait a second, Buck, 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:37.600 this isn't a show that I go to where I 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.560 want to hear banter about fashion choices. I'm just trying 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.120 to tell you that's probably the most interesting thing from 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.560 the debate last night. Okay, there's like nothing that is 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:50.600 worth the time. You've heard much of it before. The 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:54.440 only part that was interesting. And we set this up 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:59.120 yesterday our show was called Comrade Warren Versus Comrade Biden. 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.800 And by the way, if you're if you ever want to, 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.120 you should send us. If you send us a great 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:08.640 show title, we do reserve the right to borrow it 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.960 and name one of our shows after the title you 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:13.720 give us for something. So if you have some really 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.360 clever impeachment title that you want to share, because we're 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.200 you're talking about impeachment a lot of the days ahead, please, 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.040 by all means, do let us know what that would be. 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.200 We love, we love relying on the genius of team 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:28.240 Buck to make our show look better than an otherwise would. So, okay, 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.920 what's the most interesting thing from last night? I really do. 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:32.560 I want to move on to some other things to 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:36.559 talk maybe a bit about the economy, about the general 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.880 Flynn situation. Looks like he's trying to withdraw formally withdraw 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.360 his plea. And you know, there's a lot more going 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.000 on here that we need to we need to dig 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:49.239 into than just the socialist Democrats. And I really want 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.440 this to be a change or the way we talk 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.799 about the Democratic Party. There they are a socialist party. 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:59.599 Now they can say they're not socialists, but they are, 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.000 and I don't think we should allow them to define language. 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.880 One of my big problems with the way that American 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:09.040 political discourse functions is that those on the right, conservatives, 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.920 we often seed so much ground in the way we 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:16.000 talk about things, and it might seem small to you. 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:18.760 In the earliest days of the bucksac And show, I 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.320 used to say that liberals are not in fact, in 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:27.160 any way liberal or centered or focused on protecting liberty. 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.279 There in fact statusts. They are authoritarians. There are many 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:36.400 cases aspiring totalitarians, and so why would we give them 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:38.840 a name that is really the opposite of what they are? 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.640 It dead and reminds me of the doomsday culled the 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.640 Reasonable Lists from the show Parks and Wreck. If you 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:49.080 call yourselves the reasonable lists, well, then how can you 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.960 be crazy? If you call yourselves liberals, then how could 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:58.520 you be authoritarians? How could you be fascists? Right, that's 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:00.440 part of the game they play. And then also the 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:02.800 blue and red, the colors I've talked to you before 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:04.960 about the history of this just comes from TV news. 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:11.280 The Republican Party is read because of election night Democrat 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.040 controlled stations, by the way, I mean stations that were 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.800 left wing deciding, Okay, we're going to make the Democrats 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.040 blue and the Republicans read, when, of course, the Democrats 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.760 are much closer and always have been, to socialists, and 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:27.479 the color of socialism is red and Republicans should be blue. 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.839 But I won't get too deep into that for right now. 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.440 What's the most interesting part of last night. I just 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.360 wanted to say, I'm going to call them socialists, and 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.680 people challenge me on this, and that's fine. They're wrong. 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:40.120 They've become a socialist party. A degree of socialism we 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:43.200 can argue over. But the Democrats are socialists. Okay, just 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:47.160 remember that, because socialism has also able to destroy no 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:49.359 matter how wealthy a country is, no matter how successful 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:54.080 it has been relative to others in the region, socialism 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:59.080 can destroy It can destroy any country. Central planning, government control, 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:05.279 cower by committees can destroy any economy, any free society. 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:09.200 Just remember I'm telling you that now, All right, now, 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:12.840 let's talk about Bernie and Warren. This was a great one. 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:17.360 This is fantastic. CNN, which is the worst cable News 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:22.080 Network in existence. CNN was running this debate last die 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:27.200 with a des Moines Register and they had to touch 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.520 on this issue because everyone's been talking about it enough. 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:34.360 Did Bernie Sanders in fact say that a woman can't 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.840 win the presidents now? As a matter of fact, meaning 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.160 that factually speaking, a woman has not been able to 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:44.480 win the presidency yet. And there is certainly room for 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.400 discussion if we're going to be honest about it, as 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.640 to whether or not it's an advantage or disadvantage to 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:52.840 run as a woman for the presidency. This is the 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.920 reality of the world we live in. But the allegation 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:01.640 here is that in a private conversation Bernie said this 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.000 to Elizabeth Warren as they were talking about things really 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:07.239 as colleagues. I mean, this was the equivalent of sitting 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:08.920 down having a beer with somebody that you think you're 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.680 on the same team with and then you think you're 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:13.240 in the trust. Try. Bernie thought he was in the 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.000 trust try he's in the nest. I thought I thought 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:21.120 it was safe, And it turns out that no. Elizabeth 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.760 Warren decided to use this against him. And so this 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:30.000 is how CNN frames this exchange. This was the only 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.079 really worthwhile part. We're not going to spend too much 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:33.240 time on the debate today. I'm not going to go 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.439 through every policy because you know, we'll talk about the 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.000 broad strokes of their socialism, their insanity, their lack of 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:42.560 understanding of math and markets. But here is what CNN 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.679 did to set this thing up, Played thirteen producer Mark 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.360 Senator Sanders. I do want to be clear here. You're 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.480 saying that you never told Senator Warren that a woman 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:57.480 could not win the election. The Senator Warren, what did 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.200 you think when Senator Sanders told you a woman could 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:06.400 not win the election? I disagreed. Bernie is my friend, 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.120 and I am not here to try to fight with Bernie. 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.600 But look, this question about whether or not a woman 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.719 can be president has been raised, and it's time for 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:19.559 us to attack it head on. And I think the 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.160 best way to talk about who can win is by 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:26.040 looking at people's winning record. So can a woman beat 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:29.719 Donald Trump? Look at the men on this stage collectively, 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:33.800 they have lost ten elections. The only people on this 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.360 stage who have won every single election that they've been 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:44.080 in are the women. Ah of a feminist girl power 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.120 rallying cry here from Elizaeth Warren. But notice at the 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.680 beginning of that exchange, she and then said, so, Senator Sanders, 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.400 did you in fact say this thing? And he said no, 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.839 And then they went to Eliza's Warren. Since we know 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.640 Bernie Sanders said this, why don't you tell us what 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.839 you said in response to him? They're basically calling Bernie 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.400 Sanders a liar on National TV. I mean, I don't 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.679 know how else you could how else you could see that? 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:15.679 What else could you really say about it? And now 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:19.120 it has come out? And does this surprise anyone? Oh here, 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:20.760 I'm gonna look, I'm just look at producer Mark you 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:22.959 can you can mouth the word to me. Who is 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.760 responsible for putting the story out in the media. Who 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.520 is the one that thought maybe people should know that 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:36.080 Bernie Sanders, Yes, Elizabeth Warren. Turns out that Warren leaked 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:40.560 this herself. Oh what a shock, What a shock. Elizabeth 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:42.840 Warren wanted people to know that Bernie Sanders is maybe 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:44.920 kind of a misogynist, but she doesn't really want people 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.160 to know that because she likes him. But just you know, 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.240 stabs him in the back and puts her arm around 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.160 his shoulder right right after she pulls off the maneuver. 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:59.480 I mean, just classic Elizabeth Warren. Not an honorable move, 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.440 Not an honorable move at all. Does that surprise us 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.640 that somebody who had faked being a Native American for 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:10.240 decades would then go after somebody in this way. I'm always, 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.040 I will tell you, I always am a little offended, 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:15.959 and I know I shouldn't be because people think of 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.079 me as a member of the press or even though 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:21.719 I never would really use that term. I certainly when 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:25.199 you use the term journalist, because I'm not. But people 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.600 feel like they have to tell me, hey, we're sitting down, 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:29.800 we're having drinks, especially if it's somebody who's tied to 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:33.360 the administration or if they're in politics. They say, you know, 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.480 we're off the record, and if we have a personal relationship, 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.520 like if we're friends, which is the case with many 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.000 of them. I understand why they say that, but there's 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:42.439 a part of me that's like, if you know me, 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.679 you know that I don't I don't do that thing. 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.080 I don't talk to people when they think they're talking 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.559 to buck. And then all of a sudden that that 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.840 story for my own purposes that they thought was being 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:57.400 shared just between two friends, two colleagues is now going 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:01.559 to be broadcast, you know, everywhere exactly what. Some journalists, 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.080 by the way, do operate that way, and that's because 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.319 journalists are discussing people worse probably than anyone and anyone 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:12.240 in any business except actors. But Elizaeth Warren did exactly 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:16.840 that to Bernie Sanders. Because now is the time there's 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:18.800 really only going to be one progressive candidate, and there's 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.920 only going to be one main choice for the Democrats. 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:27.160 Which socialist is going to be the standard bearer? Who 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:29.959 of the socialist candidates Bernie Sanders, Elizeth Warren and quite 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.839 honestly may Or Pete Boodha judge too, who did it? 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:34.840 Who did a pretty sound job last night? I mean 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:36.480 I can't see there, and you know who else does 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:38.040 a good job? And I make fun of her because 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:41.240 she eats salad with a comb and has her staff 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:46.560 like helped groom her in ways that is surprising. Kloba 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:50.440 Shar Clobashar's not not actually a crazy person. I mean, 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.360 she may be a craven Democrat, but she operates a 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:55.640 little bit more in the realm of reality than some 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.720 of these other Democrats. I mean, Bernie Sanders, the stuff 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:01.400 that he's saying is insane. People who think that Bernie 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:03.319 Sanders has any idea how any of this would really 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.240 work and what this would do for people don't know 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.839 what they're talking about. If Bernie Sanders becomes president of 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:12.280 the United States, you will be poorer and less free. 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:17.080 I guarantee it. I'm not saying that it'll be mad Max, 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.120 but things are going to get rougher for you in 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:25.720 ways that matter to you. So at least with someone 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.959 like a Cloba shar or a Biden. Biden is just 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:30.880 going to do whatever the party apparatus tells him to do. 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.040 The party apparatus of the Democrats has further left and 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.000 it has been at any other time in my lifetime. 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:40.240 But he's not really an ideologue. He's a Bidenist first 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:42.040 and foremost. What does Biden have to do to win? 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:43.920 What does Biden have to do to have nice things 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.160 said and written about him by the elite media? Clobish 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.440 are a little bit more normal, a little bit more reasonable. 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:54.880 But can any of them win against Trump? I think 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:59.320 we all know the answer to that. So far, you're 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:03.079 in the free him. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast, 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:08.280 and I want to say that's a night for me 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.000 was dispiriting. Different guys got to do better what we 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.240 saw a night. There was nothing I saw at night 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:14.920 that would be able to take Donald Trump out. And 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.040 I want to see a Democrat in the White House 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.360 as soon as possible. There was nothing to night that. 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:22.120 If you're looking at this thing, you say, any of 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:23.840 these people are prepared for what Donal Trump is going 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:27.880 to do to us. I think Van Jones is wrong 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.320 on policy matters, and I think if I think he's 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:37.160 an ideological opponent on most things, not all things, but 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.760 he is one of these smarter democrats of the political 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:42.400 analysts out on the scene. I'll tell you I've worked 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.920 with Van. I know Van a little bit, and he's 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.600 actually some of you will get mad at me. I 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.120 don't care. He's actually a pretty charming guy if you 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:51.800 if you get to chat with him a little bit, 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:58.640 and he's completely right here, He's completely right. There was nothing, 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:02.080 There was nothing. I know. He's far left, radical and 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:03.840 progressive and all this stuff, and I think that he's 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:05.680 wrong and all these things. I'm just saying he's a 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:10.440 smart progressive who sometimes does call it the way it 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.920 is instead of the way the CNN audience wants to 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:16.000 see it. You know, I think it's important, by the way, 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.000 that you understand we should we should seek as conservatives, 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:22.000 you should seek out who are the best of the left, 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.720 who's the strong who makes the strongest arguments. I mean, yeah, 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:26.760 I'd like to see it here. And you know, I 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:28.920 talk about like Maisie haronos the you know, one of 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.600 the dumbest people I've ever heard, and you know, Biden 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:34.080 is a dumb ass. And this is important for us 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:36.000 to talk about because these people want to control aspects 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:37.720 of our lives and have power over us, and so 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.200 we should be honest about what's going on. But there 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:44.280 are democrats who are skilled in the use of rhetoric, 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:47.600 who understand how to manipulate emotions, who are in fact 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.520 knowledgeable about the areas they talk about, and it's him 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.760 coming upon us. And I think there's not enough of 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.960 this in conservative media, by the way, to deal with 0:15:56.160 --> 0:16:00.520 the smart leftists, to defeat their argument, and also to 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.640 elevate leftists on certain topics and issues when they're correct. 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:07.640 There are real far left journos out there who have 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:10.680 been some of the most ardent critics of the whole 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:13.560 Russia collusion nonsense. I mean, you will come across people 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:15.520 that I think are wrong on ninety percent of things, 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:18.760 but within that ten percent, they'll be saying that the 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:22.200 you know, MSNBC and CNN for example, have made mockeries 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.360 of themselves on Russia collusion. We'll get into more of 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:27.480 that later, but I do this is a bit of 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:29.720 an aside, but you know, I don't like to just 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:32.160 play the dumb the dumb Democrats here and just make 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.400 fun of what a clown show most of the Democratic 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:37.240 parties become because there are there are smart Democrats, and 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.800 they can still win folks. They can still make compelling arguments. 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.800 They can get over fifty one percent of the aggregate 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:47.680 vote in a presidential election. Do not underestimate our opponents. 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:54.400 Do not underestimate them. But there was nothing less now 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.400 that I've said that, there was nothing in that debate 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.880 that you could look at and say, oh, that person 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:04.680 is going to be really challenging for Donald Trump. That 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:08.480 person is going to be able to defeat the incombent 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:10.200 president of the United States. I'm not saying that means 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:13.560 it can't happen, but as a deeply unimpressive field who 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:15.920 has who has real momentum. Think back to the twenty 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:21.159 sixteen election. Early on, even Trump was a phenomenon. And 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:23.879 if we're gonna say this, we're gonna be objective about this, 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:25.840 you know, I know there's so much I feel like 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.080 these days everyone's just oh this, tell everybody what do 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:29.280 you think they want to hear. I don't like to 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:30.359 do that here. I like to tell you what I 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.440 think is true, and you tell me the same. That's 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.920 why some of you, you know, like my impressions. Some 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:39.119 of you don't. That's fine. But Obama was a phenomenon 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.320 when he was running. Let's just be honest about that. 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:43.159 Defeated Hillary and everything goes. You know, there was a 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.119 sense that this is a candidate, this is a person 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:50.840 who has got something. Which are these Democrats? Who among 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.280 the Democrats last time on that stage, has really got something. 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:57.840 I mean, you have to say at this point it 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:03.320 might be Bernie And that's in scene. That's absurd. Although 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.560 if you're if you're picking a sort of a dark 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:08.919 horse candidate, if you're picking somebody to come from behind, 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:12.200 and I gotta think, if you're asking me to pick 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:14.920 a long shot right now, who might actually pull it? 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:18.320 Off among the Democrat primary. I gotta think it's mayor Pete. 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:22.400 Thanks for listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:25.760 to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app, or 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:30.280 wherever you get your podcasts. I sent thirteen years ago. 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:32.960 It was a mistake to give the president the authority 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:37.000 to go to war if in fact he couldn't get 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:41.159 inspectors into Iraq to stop at what's thought to be 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:44.840 the attempt to get a nuclear weapon. It was a mistake, 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:47.840 and I acknowledge that, but right out. And the man 0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:51.320 who also argued against that war, Barack Obama, picked me 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:53.520 to be as vice president and once we be kept will, 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:56.200 once we were elected president, he turned and vice president, 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.320 he turned to me and asked me to end that war. 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:00.840 I know what it's like to send and a son 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:04.200 or daughter, and like our colleague has gone to war 0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:06.960 in Afghanistan, my son for a year in Iraq. And 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:10.400 that's why I do it, very very reluctantly. That's why 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:13.600 I led the effort, as you know, Wolf against Surgey 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:19.280 tens of thousands of Trics in Afghanistan. Biden has a 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:23.840 remarkable gift, and his gift is to think that a 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:26.720 very long legacy of being on the wrong side of 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:31.680 issues and being ineffective and pushing his side is somehow 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:38.040 evidence of skill and wisdom. Biden, it seems to me, 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:41.600 is really so dumb that he thinks that his failures 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:45.240 are evidence of him being smart. And when he talks 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:48.600 about ending the war in Iraq, for example, that the 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:53.119 way that that was done, the circumstances under which that 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:56.480 happened with the Obama administration did lead, I mean directly 0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:59.720 to the rise of the Islamic State, which keep in mind, 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:05.680 really was a Syrian entity that then swooped into Iraq, 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:09.560 went through Mosul, and then we had that situation where 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:14.359 you had the US have to launch airstrikes to prevent 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:18.280 a continued onslaught into deep into the Kurdish areas of 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:22.480 Iraq by the Islamic State. That was a disaster, a disaster, 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:27.600 and Biden points to this like somehow he knows what 0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:31.520 he's talking about, or he is the wise elder statesman 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:34.640 here that will get things done. What does Joe Biden 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:38.560 even really stand for. It's not clear to anybody who's 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:41.960 being honest. Joe Biden is just whatever the Democratic Party 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:44.080 wants at any point in time, he'll go along with it. 0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:46.639 Which way is the wind blowing right now? And how 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.600 does that affect the prospects of Joe Biden? A deep 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:55.280 he's just a deeply unimpressive fellow. Oh and by the way, 0:20:55.320 --> 0:21:00.720 you know, you had Mike Pence, who Mike Pence said 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:04.239 something funny. Mike Pence had a funny last night. Who 0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:07.080 would have thought, here, he's got it, you know, strutting 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:09.760 stuff a little bit. Here you go, here's here's the 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:12.960 VP play clip eight. You know, the choice in this 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:15.920 election couldn't be clear, and the stakes couldn't be higher. 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:20.199 Today we have a president who loves this country, who 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:23.760 stands by our military, our workers, and our freedoms. He 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:27.800 never quits, he never backs down. He believes in you, 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:31.920 and he fights for you every single day. And then 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:35.920 you got this group of Democrats running for president and 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:39.159 I heard they got another debate tonight. If it's anything 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:40.720 like the other ones, those people are going to be 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:42.920 standing so far on the left, I think that stage 0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:47.639 is going to tip over. I think he's right. The 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:52.600 Democratic Party because of the loudest voices within it, or 0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:56.400 the furthest left, the media is so much an appendage 0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:58.520 of the Democratic Party, or maybe the Democratic Party is 0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:03.480 such an appendage of the media that the echo chamber 0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:08.720 of journalists as left wing cheerleaders has really influenced I 0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:13.960 believe the platform that the Democrats now support. And oh, 0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:16.000 by the way, I see here talking about how leftists 0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:18.480 sometimes are right. Michael Moore, who I think is really 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:21.960 a lot of his positions are odious, and I think 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:25.400 he's I think he's gross. I don't. I don't think 0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:27.880 he's a fellow who comes at things with good faith 0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:30.320
