We've already 0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:48.519 gotten a sense of where this is all going. Folks. 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:51.559 They are nuts. All the Democrats have to do is 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.320 not be crazy, and they can't do it. We'll talk 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:57.920 about their socialist tendencies, the tax rates they're putting forward, 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:02.120 the ideas that they are espousing, and the incendiary rhetoric 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:05.200 they're using against the president. That and also the border 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.760 shut down and the fight of the Wall. Coming up 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.240 on the Buck Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.200 Show where the mission or mission is to decode what 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:21.360 really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, You're 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.400 a great American Again. The Buck Sexton Show begins the 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:33.800 sect of it. When your son looks at you and says, Mama, 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:37.000 look you won. Bullies don't win. And I said, baby, 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.280 they talked, because we're gonna go in there. We're gonna 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:46.360 impeach the Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. There you 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:50.160 have it a pretty good summation of what you're going 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:54.440 to be seeing from the incoming Democrat majority in the Congress. 0:01:54.920 --> 0:02:01.280 We're going to impeach the mf in president. That's from 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:09.960 a newly installed US Member of Congress, Rashida to Leib, 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:14.400 who says that not only are they going to impeach Trump, 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:18.440 but they're going to use in public with people there 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.320 or you know, people obviously videoing this, use profanity about 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:28.639 the president. Now, I understand that the immediate inclination of 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:32.880 the left is going to be to say, oh, but Trump, 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:37.000 Trump uses such coarse language and Trump says such bad things, 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:41.120 and you can't complain about this. Now, I'm not really 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.720 complaining about the fact that a member of Congress wants 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:48.600 to debase herself and the office that she represents and 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:52.640 the constituents that she has by using that kind of language. 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.920 You know, there's a difference between calling somebody a dog 0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:00.440 or calling somebody a jerk and using that kind language, 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.680 which I obviously can't use on the air. I think 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.600 you all know what I'm talking about. Though. That's about 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.920 as extreme as it's as it's going to get in 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:12.600 terms of curses that you're going to hear somebody throw around, 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:16.000 in terms of phrases that someone could use to try 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:21.239 and debase the president, that's that's really a new level. 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.600 I mean that that's crossing a line. I have never 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:29.919 seen or heard Trump say anything in the same stratosphere 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:35.000 of profanity as that. Now, this is from a new 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.720 member of Congress. It's not the President, it's not Nancy Pelosi. 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.440 I know what the counter arguments are going to be here, 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.640 but I wanted to drill down into this for a moment, 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.960 just because this is not a one off, folks. This 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.560 is not something that comes out of a vacuum. You 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:55.400 know that woman who is now a sitting member of Congress, 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:57.720 who also some of you are probably saying buck talk 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:01.760 about how she's a you know, anti Israeli some would 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:05.560 say anti Semitic, pro Palestinian activists. And I know there's 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.760 a whole other background we could get into here, but 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:12.280 I'm more concerned with the overall context in which somebody 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.680 can come in, and she's one of the first Muslim 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:21.679 women ever elected to Congress. I'm concerned with how this 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:26.440 is not that surprising given the kind of things that 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.920 have been said about this president freely for a long 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:33.559 time by the press and by the Democratic Party. Let's 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:38.000 not forget that as we start twenty nineteen and now 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:42.080 have Democrats in control of at least the House of Representatives, 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.680 that we are coming off a year where the hatred 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:53.520 of the left, the willingness of left wing activists and 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:57.400 the mainstream media and the Democratic Party to act in 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:01.559 the most heinous and just destructive ways toward their fellow 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:07.520 Americans was on display time and time again. As these 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:12.680 Democrats are now entering office, and there's this new hope 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.719 on the left that they're going to hold Trump accountable 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.119 and there's finally going to be a check on his power, 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.400 as if there haven't been checks on his power all along. 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.480 This is a delusional stance. All it takes is one 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.320 federal judge to stop Trump or who doesn't want Trump 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:27.840 to do something, and all of a sudden Trump can't 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:30.920 do it, and he doesn't say, you know, no, I'm 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:37.640 just gonna go ahead anyway. But there's a context for 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.920 the hatred against this president, and it's that this has 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:48.039 been building and building and getting more toxic and more destructive. 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:52.839 There's been a corrosion of the soul of the progressive left. 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.800 That has been an ongoing program. I mean, this has 0:05:56.839 --> 0:06:00.440 been an intentional policy, mean to make people not just 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.560 disagree with Trump and his supporters, and don't forget that 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:05.880 part of it, it's the supporters too. It's you and me, 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:10.480 not just to disagree with Trump or to even hate Trump, 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.039 but to hate all of us and think that we 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.279 are bad. It's not that we're wrong, it's that we're 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:18.960 bad people, and we're wrong, but more importantly, we're bad people. 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:23.320 That's what they really think. That is what the Democrat 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:27.080 base believes. They think we're all racist, they think we're 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:31.120 all hateful. They think these things, and that is not 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:34.599 about to change. That was not just a coping mechanism 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:39.080 for the last two years, really, but that has been 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:43.440 building and now we will see it channeled and weaponized. 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:50.919 Now we'll see the full scope of their crazy. Representative 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:54.920 Hank Johnson, here's an example. I mean, this is now 0:06:56.160 --> 0:07:01.599 not just this is now the the standard that you 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.480 will hear from people talking about Trump. This is this 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.720 is an outliers. I'm not you know, I know. We 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.320 started the show this woman in Congress who's yelling, you know, 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.960 profanity about calling the president of profane word and and 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.720 and also saying she's gonna impeach him, which let's not forget. 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:21.840 We've had a credulous, laughably credulous media running around for 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.120 the last six months saying, oh, no, we're gonna wait 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.160 for the Muller probe defend, and they're gonna wait for them, 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.600 We're gonna wait. Well, they want to impeach the president too, 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:31.800 but they've been claiming we're gonna wait for the Muller 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.680 probe to finish before we make any decision about about impeachment. No, 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:39.680 they're not. It's a lie. They're gonna they're going, mark 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:44.800 my words, they are going to impeach this president. They're 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:48.560 not going to remove him. And I even I would 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.280 even willing to concede. I think Nancy Pelosi knows it's 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.600 probably not a good idea to impeach the president. But 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:58.480 she's gonna be in the kind of puncher's pilot position here. 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:00.120 She's gonna say, look, if this is what all know, 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:01.920 if this is what all you crazy's want, I mean, 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:03.280 and all right, I guess I'll give it to you. 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:07.280 She is going to get so much pressure from the 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:12.240 left wing, lunatic Democrat Party base that I just think 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:17.200 that impeachment is a foregone conclusion. And that's why when 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:18.760 you hear people already coming out and saying and they 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.720 already had a member of Congress file articles on peachbi, 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:23.840 I know this is this is going to be an 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:28.760 ongoing thing. I mentioned Hank Johnson. Yeah, here's here is 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:35.160 the standard line from the left on who Trump is 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:39.440 and who Trump supporters therefore are. Play clip twenty two 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:46.440 Americans elected an authoritarian, anti immigrant, racist strong man to 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:51.960 the nation's highest office, Donald Trump and his make America 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:56.000 great Again. Follow us who want to return America back 0:08:56.000 --> 0:09:00.200 to a time when white men and white privilege were 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:05.840 unchallenged and where minorities and women were in their place. 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:10.040 Much like Hitler took over the Nazi Party, Trump has 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:17.600 taken over the Republican Party. Nazi Party Trump, Trump has 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:22.040 taken it over. This is not a fringe This is 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:26.720 not a a fringe position. This is not something that 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:32.800 you will not hear from more and more Democrats, and 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.600 you have been hearing from Democrats obviously for quite for 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.920 quite some time now. I do want to focus in 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:43.400 on some of the policy that they've been discussing as well, 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.800 because we're starting to be reminded and this is the 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:53.360 greatest advertisement for the Republican party in power, really is 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:58.200 the Democrats talking about what they want to do. That's 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:02.520 when you really get a sense of, oh my gosh, 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:06.200 you cannot give these people power. You cannot allow them 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:11.400 to be in a position where they get to make decisions, 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.720 because their ideas aren't just bad, I mean they are 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:20.600 catastrophically bad. You know, today you had your introduction to 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:26.840 the House of Pelosi articles of impeachment and an effort 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:33.319 to maybe abolish the electoral college, right voting, this brinksmanship 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:37.560 on shutdown, profanity from a new member of Congress. You've 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:41.720 got this insane tax scheme that okaus Y Cortez is 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:44.760 talking about. I just played audio of that guy talking 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:49.520 about how Trump is a Nazi and this is day 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:54.760 you know, this is day one, This is day one. 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.160 Where does it go from here? And that's why I 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:01.679 have to laugh. I have to laugh when people say, oh, yeah, 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.319 there's gonna be an infrastructure bill, and there's how can 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.560 this is the favorite? The favorite? And I'm man, I 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.160 get forced to ask it too, So don't don't you 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.719 know dredge up audio of me saying the same thing. 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:18.640 There We all end up having this conversation, even though 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.240 I think a pretty useless one, of well, what are 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:24.520 the ways that the new the new you know, Democrat 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:28.559 majority can work with the Republicans in a bipartisan fashion 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:32.000 to make America. It's not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen. 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:38.120 It is not going to happen. Okay, that's we can 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.160 sit around and talk about it, But that's not what 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:44.480 this is about. You and I my friends are in 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:49.520 the early phase of a struggle for power that will 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:55.920 not stop. That will be a continuous, ongoing, bare knuckle 0:11:56.000 --> 0:12:01.160 brawl until twenty twenty, and then it just goes into 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.120 a new phase with whoever wins and you know, and 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.640 then the cycle resets. But but we are, we are 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:09.760 on a on a pathway now to twenty twenty. Nothing 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:13.920 of any real political significance from a legislative perspective, is 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:17.599 going to happen between now and then it's just you know, 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:19.559 and people talk about gridlock. I'll say this, you know, 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:21.920 let me give you a little moment, a happy because 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:26.520 we're here on a Friday because Bucks happy. Do you 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:30.640 know there's I like that song. Um, let me give 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:32.800 you a little moment happy. Though, I think the founders 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:36.800 wanted gridlock to be common, I think that it should 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:43.640 be hard for the Congress to make massive, massive transformations 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:44.959 to this country. I do not want it to be 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:48.800 a simple thing for them to take it upon themselves, 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:53.439 one way or another, to transform this country. I think 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:57.440 that it's probably for the best. A lot of very 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:02.560 smart historians, analysts, pundits, people that look at these issues 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.920 all the time will tell you and have told me 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.240 that in a lot of ways, the less the Congress does, 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.240 the better for the rest of us. Now, there are 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.280 things that they can fix, but oftentimes they try to fit. 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:16.080 Look at Obamacare, they say they're fix it. If they're 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:20.480 making it worse, they're making it worse. You know, if 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:24.120 if we can just get a few a few wins, 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.080 a few more wins racked up from the president's side 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.960 of things like oh, I don't know, another Supreme Court 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:34.120 justice would be really nice, then I think you're you're 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:39.839 pretty much just in a election twenty twenty showdown, which 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:43.439 is where we're heading. And in the meantime, it is stuff. 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.360 If you're gonna Democrats are gonna be all those And 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:48.440 this is what I meant before about the context, right 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.319 when when you have this member of Congress screaming the 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:59.160 president is an mf or all of these marches in 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:04.240 the streets, the Women's March and Antifa and showing up 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:08.520 outside of conservatives homes and chasing them down in restaurants, 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:13.120 and the psychopath who tried to kill Steve Scalise and 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:16.600 a bunch of other members of Conservative members of Congress. 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:21.720 Any all of that background, all of that history is 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:27.840 now going to be funneled into channeled into the histrionics, 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:36.040 the grandstanding, the narcissism, and the nastiness of Nancy Pelosi's Democrats. So, 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:37.880 you know, this has been a very It's been a 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.280 good twenty four hour introduction to what we're going to 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:45.360 be up against here, which is a lot of a 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:49.040 lot of a lot of kind of worthless talk about 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.160 policies that the Democrats know they have no chance of 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:56.480 getting through in the next two years. But they're going 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:59.400 to be engaged in a propaganda battle to see also 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:04.000 where where they're going to run for twenty twenty and 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:06.440 then just just tear down this president. I mean, the 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:11.440 effort is going to go into hyper drive here, overdrive, hyperdrive, 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.400 whichever one is more of a drive. That's what they're 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:17.120 gonna do. Team. We're in the midst of our Friday 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.760 salon here on the Buck Sexton Show, so I'm very 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:23.160 much enjoying it. If you want to send me your thoughts, 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.360 note Facebook dot com slashbuck Sexton is a great way 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:31.680 to do it. We've got more on Pelosi's paranoid and 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:35.960 crazy Congress and also the Wall shut Down Showdown coming up. 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:42.080 One of the things that's so beautiful to watch is 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:47.800 three point two percent wage growth that hasn't happened in 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:53.160 so long per our country. That's an incredible thing. That 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:57.040 means people are actually getting more money, taking home more money. 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.240 A lot of good things are happening. Labor participation ation 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:04.200 rate increased to sixty three point one. That's an incredible 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.880 number also, so I just wanted to bring that out. 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.960 The economy is very good, and remember from the time 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:15.000 of my election, the stock market's gone up very close 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:18.720 to thirty percent. And that's with all of the things 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:24.360 that are happening. Three hundred and ten I'm sorry, three 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:28.560 hundred and twelve thousand jobs and latest jobs report unemployment 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:35.960 still below four percent. In sameer times, this would be 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:41.000 the primary news story, the single most important thing that 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:47.400 we've been told today by the news media. Meanwhile, give 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.200 you a sense of where things are. You know, on 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:55.120 the other side of things, you have CNN and MSNBC 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:57.960 and all these different Here you go CNN, hundreds of 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:02.880 TSA screeners calling out six okay, and also on seeing 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:07.160 an amen allegedly chased a woman into a karate studio, 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.800 it went, just how you okay? Well, that's that's the 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:11.680 top story. I guess there must be a viral video 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.440 with that. Speaking of viral videos, you know, there was 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:18.920 this uh Okazi Quartes dancing video. It's not worth playing 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.840 on Eric because you can't see your dancing. It was 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.000 put out by some anonymous Twitter account and it went 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:27.560 it went viral. People were all talking about this last night, 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:31.680 and it was a big conversation among the the Twitterati, 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.879 you know, the various media folks out there that are 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:37.719 all Unfortunately, we're all we're all glued to Twitter these 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:41.280 days because of the president and and the importance of 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:44.080 some of the proclamations that come via tweet. But this 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.520 a Kazy Cortes's video. She's danced around, she's having fun, 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.800 and look it's cute. I mean, she's she's an appealing person. 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.200 You know, she will talk about her terrible ideas and 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.560 bad economics in a second, but she's an appealing person. 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:02.439 And I saw all this, all this reporting, or at 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.560 least all this commentary on how oh look at people jump, 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:09.320 you know, jumping conclusions and trying to bash Okazia Quartez 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:11.840 for dancing and having some fun when she was in 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.680 college or on this video. And then I looked around, 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:16.400 and I've still I put out this challenge. I said, 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:18.800 can someone show me one instance of a conservative of 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.440 any note, of an actual conservative of any with any 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:26.320 kind of platform or following her voice, who was calling 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:28.399 Okazia Cortes out for this video? And I still have 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:33.480 yet to see one. Tons of people claiming that Republicans 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:37.199 pounce and Republicans have overreached on Okazia Quartz And then 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:38.800 I look at I say, well, hold on a second 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:43.200 where it says who who says who Poles or Poles? 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:46.560 Oh yeah, Michael Cohen. Yeah, that was that was a 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:50.120 different era, wasn't it. So I just wish people would 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:54.280 be honest about whether there really is this overreach on 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:57.159 this issue with Okazi Quartez, but also in general, you know, 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:01.919 conservatives basher for policies, not for her persona. That's an 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.760 important thing. They're just making her more famous all the time. 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:09.200 And Libs don't care if Okazio Cortez, you know, isn't 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:16.639 good at math. So I mentioned Okazio Cortes and and 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:20.920 her her tax rate, you know, and a math. And 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:22.720 this is where you're gonna have real This is where 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:24.720 I think you're gonna have real problems for the for 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:28.879 the Democrats going forward. They're not the moment that people 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:33.920 get into a place where they hear what the reality 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:39.120 of these policies are. Things like a green New Deal, right, 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:41.040 that's you're gonna hear a lot about that coming up. 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:42.760 I mean, it's not going to happen, but they're gonna 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:45.200 be proposing this idea of a green new deal, um. 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:49.720 And and then also just on the redistribution of wealth 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:53.000 and what what paying your your fair share, right, bringing 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:56.120 back the old Obama phrase paying your fair share. Maybe. 0:19:56.240 --> 0:20:02.200 I think today she said, was it seventy percent Ocasio 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:06.720 Cortez on taxes, Yes, seventy percent tax on the on 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:12.359 the super wealthy too fund the Green New Deal. And 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:16.160 you always hear people trot out this, oh well, under 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:19.960 the Eisenhower administration, So yeah, let's go back to let's 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:23.840 go back now sixty some oddiars. Under the Eisenhower administration, 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:26.639 the top tax rate was, you know, ninety one percent 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.040 and two things one. Nobody paid. Whether that might have 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:31.920 been the rate, nobody paid that rate. You know, this 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:35.960 is like saying, well, in Greece in the mid two thousands, 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:37.879 the tax rate was whatever it was. Yeah, but it 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:40.760 didn't matter what the tax rate was. Nobody was paying taxes, 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:42.640 which is why Grease had the problems that it did. 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:47.960 I mean the tax compliance rate. It's not nobody. I'm exaggerating, body, 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:51.639 The tax compliance rate was very, very low, and no 0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:54.800 one was really paying ninety one percent. This is also 0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:59.159 where I get it, I get a little revolutionary in 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:01.040 my tone here. You know, if we're gonna have these 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:02.520 high taxes, we need to we need to have a 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.200 wealth tax. It can't be a tax on income. A 0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:08.560 tax on income prevents people from ascending the ladder. It 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:12.960 punishes people for productive activity. Tax on wealth. You know, 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:15.240 if we're going to start, you know, just having the 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:19.879 government confiscate from people, well, it shouldn't confiscate from somebody 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:23.240 who makes two hundred and fifty thousand dollars one year, 0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:26.280 the same as it confiscates from somebody who's worth ten 0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:28.080 million dollars. And it is making two hundred and fifty 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:33.040 thousand dollars on unearned investment income every year. Right, that's 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:35.000 not we're going to talk about fair. That's not fair. 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:38.000 And we already have an incredibly and like I don't 0:21:38.000 --> 0:21:39.640 think of wealth tax a good idea. I'm just saying, 0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:42.639 if we're going to go down this road, let's not 0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:47.160 pretend that one the people at the at the top 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:50.040 end of the of the spectrum are going to be 0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:54.119 able to fund all of this. There's there's not enough money. 0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:57.760 There's not enough money to do this. And you know, 0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:01.040 I understand that right now because of the Republicans are 0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:02.800 spending a lot in you know, Trump we got almost 0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:05.080 a trillion dollars deficit this past year. It's not not 0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:09.160 good in that sense because Republicans are spending a lot 0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:14.119 the discussion about the debt and what it's going to 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:18.280 mean when interest service payments on the debt start to 0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:22.200 crowd out more of overall spending. You know, we're not 0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:24.359 in as strong opposition as we should be to make 0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:27.600 that case the American people, because the Republican Party and yes, 0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:32.239 the Trump administration have been somewhat complicit in blowing up 0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:35.120 the debt. I mean, we're not We're not as bad 0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:39.400 as Obama was, right Obama. Obama took it and basically 0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:42.520 doubled it, which is pretty remarkable. I mean, if you're 0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:46.359 gonna say, one thing that Obama definitely accomplished was putting 0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:50.680 the United States in a long term dire fiscal situation. 0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:54.080 So he did manage to do that, which which was 0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:57.879 remarkable in its own way. But this notion of a 0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:03.000 seventy percent tax rate only is that going to fundamentally 0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:05.840 change not just this country's economy, but the global economy. 0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:09.399 We are responded, this country responsible for so much innovation 0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:13.159 and wealth creation. You go back and I know that 0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:15.760 some people, you know, this doesn't really get headlines, doesn't 0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:17.040 really get a lot of attention. You go back, you 0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:22.359 look at how much of the world lived in true poverty, 0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:25.879 even as far back as nineteen fifty, right, so not 0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:27.399 that long ago. A lot of you were alive in 0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:31.239 nineteen fifty, you know, you go back and look at 0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:34.600 what was what the global poverty index was then and 0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:38.520 what it is now. And there are billions of people 0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:41.840 who aren't in poverty anymore relative to what was going 0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:47.520 on then. And this is because of the American approach, 0:23:47.840 --> 0:23:50.960 which other countries have to adopted obviously, you know, Japan 0:23:51.080 --> 0:23:55.880 and Western Europe to very degrees, and but rewarding productive 0:23:55.920 --> 0:23:59.760 behavior and ingenuity and risk taking and wealth creation in 0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:04.440 and understanding how much human self interest is a motivating 0:24:04.520 --> 0:24:07.920 and mobilizing force in society and the good that that creates. 0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:12.080 This has you know, we are so blessed. We're almost 0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:13.960 you know, people all that our life today, we're almost 0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:17.200 like the spoiled brats of the human race because we 0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:20.600 didn't have to go through what some of the others, 0:24:21.640 --> 0:24:23.280 what some of the others have in the past. You know, 0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:27.600 we didn't have to deal with the constraints, the artificial 0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:30.760 constraints on our productivity and on our ability to choose 0:24:30.760 --> 0:24:34.639 our own destinies put on us by this state. Remember 0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:38.280 the left, the Democrat Party is now the American Socialist Party. 0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:41.640 They they are playing a little bit of foot see 0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:44.600 with the terminology, but that's where they are. And that's 0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:48.200 why the radicalism in the language that you've heard in 0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:50.080 the last two years is when you're now, it's being 0:24:50.119 --> 0:24:54.760 translated into policies abolishing the electoral college, a seventy percent 0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:59.320 tax rate, impeaching the president, a Green new Deal, you know, 0:24:59.400 --> 0:25:02.480 a radical transformation that just means a radical transformation of 0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:04.960 the energy sector that will make this country a lot 0:25:05.119 --> 0:25:09.040 poorer very quickly. This is what these people really want 0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:14.040 to do. The biggest advertisement for keeping Trump and Republicans 0:25:14.080 --> 0:25:17.800 in power, fortunately for us, is the Democratic Party. As 0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:20.680 long as the American people are paying attention. Let's talk 0:25:20.680 --> 0:25:25.960 about that wall fight coming up. You ran your campaign 0:25:26.240 --> 0:25:28.840 promising supporters that Mexico is going to pay for the 0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:30.680 wall and that the wall was going to be made 0:25:30.720 --> 0:25:33.280 of concrete. You just said earlier that the wall could 0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:35.639 be made of steel, and right now our government is 0:25:35.640 --> 0:25:38.480
