WEBVTT - Breaking Ranks 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.120 All right, glad you with us, and a happy Monday too. 0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:05.200 You're right down our toll free telephone number. You want 0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:10.960 to be a part of this extvaganza. You know, there 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:13.119 was an article today that made me laugh a little 0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:16.560 bit eat popcorn. It was from town Hall, as the 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:21.720 Democrats eat themselves, And in many ways, that's exactly what 0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:25.280 I've been saying. They're digging holes. And when they're digging, 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:28.960 let them dig and dig and dig and dig and dig, 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:33.200 because as they dig, they're just digging bigger holes for themselves, 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:37.360 and there's nothing that they're going to be able to do, 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.040 I think as time goes on, to get them out 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:44.800 of the list of crazy stuff that they're locking themselves into, 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.080 you know. And then add to that the intramural fighting 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:54.400 between Pelosi and AOC and I mean Alcastio Cortes. She 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:56.480 denied it later, but I mean when you say, oh, 0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.600 it seems like she's only picking on people of color. 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:02.760 And what was fascinating there is she had just got 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:06.000 done saying to Donald Trump two days earlier, keep America 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:10.200 white again. But Pelosi has lost any and all control 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:14.320 of her party, and I'm not sure how this is 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.840 all going to work out. And then now the way 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:18.960 they have the rules set up in the House that 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:22.120 they've kind of designed it that they can't change speakers midway. 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.240 But that's according to the rules, it's not according to 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:29.720 what reality begins to emerge. Because if you get enough 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:33.679 people in the Democratic Caucus beginning to say Pelosi needs 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.280 to go, I think ultimately at some point she's gonna go. 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.920 And she's now she's done everything she can do to 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.800 call out Alexandria Cossio Cortez as you want to talk 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.479 to me, talk to me, talk directly to my face, 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.880 don't go out there and tweet it. And that's what 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:52.920 a Cossio Cortez says that, oh, it seems like you're 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.960 only going after women of color in the caucus. And 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.520 there are some people that have rallied around Nancy Pelosi 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.600 at all of this. But if you if you want 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.080 to take you know who's winning this fight in terms 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:09.000 of the radical liberal base, which is a big part 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.160 of the Democratic Party, which is why all of these 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:15.640 twenty twenty candidates have bought into some insane version of 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:21.400 radical tax increases, the radical Green New Deal, why they've 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:25.840 all doubled down on medicare for all and free healthcare 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:30.200 for illegal immigrants and all for open borders and everything 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.639 else in between. Why have they locked into that because 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:36.000 they've determined and probably a lot of it is based 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:40.400 on polling of the Democratic base that will determine the nominee. 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.480 It makes at least like less likely every day that 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.960 Biden gets it, although he's trying his best to be 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:50.440 everything he hasn't been his entire political career. But you know, 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:54.320 they have what's called this net roots nation, which is 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:58.080 like a progressive gathering that attracts thousands of people every year. 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:02.160 And you know, so it is believed that they are 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:06.040 rising in influence on the in terms of the Democratic 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.480 Party and more specifically, who the twenty twenty presidential kendidate 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.519 for the Democrats is going to be. But now at 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:17.600 the net roots, Um, remember Nancy Pelosi. You know she 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:24.239 was She was it in terms of San Francisco liberalism 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:30.080 and leftism and socialism and redistributionism. She was the person, 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.840 she was at the top of the pyramid for everybody 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:39.720 in these radical progressive circles. Um, she doesn't act this 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.840 way when blue dogs say stupid stuff about Democrats and 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:47.760 the party and constantly criticized the party. Marcus Malitas, I 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:49.680 haven't heard his name in a long time. He ran 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.040 Daily Costs. I assume he probably does. He was the 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:57.880 founder of the Daily Cost cost years ago. And referring 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.080 to a group of conservative House Democrats for some reason, 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:05.440 she's singling out these four for a special brand of 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:07.880 conflict and it doesn't make any sense, but they're angry 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.520 at what they're doing now. The four we're talking about her, well, 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:16.240 the leader is Alexandriacasio Cortez. Then second in charge of 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:20.200 this group probably would be Omar. But we're going to 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:24.680 get to in a second Ayana Pressley of Massachusetts and 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.719 Congresswoman to Leave of Michigan. And they're the ones that 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:33.160 have been most outspoken about Joe Biden, most outspoken about 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.800 Nancy Pelosi, and they're the ones that have pushed the 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:40.560 hardest this radical green New Deal, which everything is free 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.120 and we're going to get rid of gas and oil 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.680 in ten years and the combustion engine and at some 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.360 point planes and cows, and I don't know how we're 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:50.839 going to travel. I don't know how an economy that 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:54.400 is based it's lifeblood is based on oil and gas. 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:58.320 How does that ever survive? And these four women believe 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.800 that a House measure to provide a merger agency funding 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:05.480 for the crisis at the border didn't provide sufficient restrictions 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.960 on how Trump could spend the money. And you know, 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:13.160 but with their opposition, who cares. They're now they're literally 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.400 now at each other's throats. You get a tweet from 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.760 one official account of the Caucus criticizing the top aide 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:24.600 to Alexandria Cossio Cortez. Remember that top aide is saying that, yeah, 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:28.640 we want to, you know, forever alter the economy through 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:32.039 this new Green deal. It's always banned about an agenda. 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.000 It's not it's not about the environment. It's always ban 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:39.040 about the economics of it. And and look at where 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.560 the Democrats are. They want to go as high as 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:46.240 as seventy percent top personal income marginal rate and a 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:51.600 ninety percent top marginal corporate rate. Anyway, so the tweet 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.760 that came out late Friday night, you know, took aim 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.279 at the chief of staff of Acastio Cortes. And this 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.440 acrimony among House Democrat rats is you know, all over 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.920 the place. And this happened on the heels of Pelosi 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.240 in that caucus meeting, saying look in my face, look 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.200 at my eye, and don't say it on Twitter. But 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.359 there's a good article that I'm looking at from the 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.320 Wall Street Journal points out the Twitter account represents the 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:21.159 full House Democratic caucus. Meanwhile Thecasio Cortez gets more play, 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:25.800 more attention than the rest of the caucus combined. You know, 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.039 there is a group I think there's forty six of 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:33.719 them Democrats that were elected from districts that Trump won. 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.680 Then this new sort of new person of the group, 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.279 I haven't heard a whole lot about her, Ayanna Pressley, 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.960 no more black faces that don't want to be a 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:48.240 black voice. Now she is tied in apparently with talib 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:53.159 and Omar and Alexandria Cossio Cortez, and she's claiming that 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.280 Democrats claim that the target of this racist attack by 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.440 the president told left wing bloggers, we don't need any 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.760 more black faces that don't want to be a black voice. 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.960 And she's one of the four left wing Democrats out 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:13.200 there disparaging England. Nancy Pelosi and anyways, she put out 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:17.440 I guess in response, appeared at the you know, it's 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.960 appeared to blast members of the Congressional Black Caucus. This 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:24.320 was in the Washington Post. An all out racially charged 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.960 fight within House Democratic Caucus escalated Saturday when an African 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:31.080 American freshman lawmaker said that the party doesn't need any 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.920 more black faces that don't want to be a black voice. 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.000 And she made those comments at a speech at the 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:42.240 net Roots convention, where of course Omar and herself and 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.640 to Leave appeared after a week long clash with Nancy Pelosi. 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:50.560 Nancy Pelosi was like Perisana and on Grada there and 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.119 this is a time to shake the table. We don't 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.320 need any more brown faces that don't want to be 0:07:56.400 --> 0:08:00.760 a brown voice again, taking what seems like a shot 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:05.960 at the CBC, which is allied with anti Pelosi. And 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:11.320 on Sunday, this group of four congresswomen in this fight 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:14.440 with Pelosi, you know, separately they're saying Omar is saying 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.720 told the high school audience that the United States had 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:21.400 failed to become a just society and seeing Trump also 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:27.760 trading bars last week. Look, this is it's getting interesting. 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.200 It's not what the media is portraying it to be. 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:36.640 And as we get started, I want you to understand 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:41.520 a couple of things here this extremism, this radicalism is 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:45.520 not helping the Democratic Party. This is now an all 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:49.160 out public civil war, and Pelosi's right to try and 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:53.120 stop it. But they're not stoppable. And in a sense, 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:54.959 I kind of admire the fact they they're going to 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:57.679 go their own way and they're not gonna give in 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:00.200 to the pressure of the leadership to do it they 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.040 say they want them to do. Anyway, there's a poll 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:07.800 out that was released, this one by Axios. Acacio is 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:11.320 now recognized by seventy four percent of voters. That's a 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:14.959 pretty high number for a freshman congresswoman. The only problem 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.560 is her approval rating is twenty two percent. Omar is 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.760 recognized by fifty three percent of voters. Her approval rating 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:25.760 is in single digits. It's only nine percent, and voters 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.720 this is not good for where the Democratic Party is headed. 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.840 They understand what socialism is and sixty nine percent of 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:36.520 them view it unfavorably. And if all voters here about 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:40.400 is AOC, it could put the House majority were at 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:44.880 risk here and twenty twenty at risk. Socialism is toxic 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:49.040 to these voters anyway. The poll is significant, according to Axios, 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.080 because it shows Democrats are sounding the alarm that swing 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:56.040 voters know and dislike socialism, or how do they back 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:58.839 off from everything they've said aroundy? How do they all? 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.600 They can't back off. This is what they want, This 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.880 is who they are, this is what they believe, you know. 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.120 And over the years, you know, Omar has said a 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.720 lot of dumb stuff, you know, especially remember we were 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:16.520 going through the issue Pelosi was agonizing how to treat 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:23.520 the the virulent anti Semitic comments of Omar, you know, saying, 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:29.400 you know, even comparing Israel, you know, their evil, you know, 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:31.920 is all I can think of at the time of 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:37.360 the tweet. What she pedals in conspiracy theories all the time, 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.959 the US favors Israel over Palestine, compares Israel to Iran 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:45.640 and Saudi Arabia. There couldn't be a worst comparison. Ever, 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.679 if she had any knowledge of what truth is in 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.880 this particular case of foreign policy. You know, she peddled 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:55.480 a conspiracy theory that Lindsay Graham is compromised. Really, where's 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.880 your evidence? You just get to say that about another 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:02.800 member of Congress. She compared Israel to not only the Saudis, 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:08.600 but also Venezuela. She blamed the US involvement in other 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:13.360 people's affairs, basically blaming the US for the al Shabab 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.559 attacking Kenya. I'll play some of these cuts later in 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.240 the show. She talks about political influence that says it's 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:22.560 okay for people to rush to push an allegiance to 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:27.200 a foreign country. She said, we're labeled anti Semitic because 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:32.360 we are Muslim, meaning her and Talib. Obama's a pretty 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:36.479 face who got away with murder. She has aligned herself 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:40.680 with the group CARE, pretty radical group. Remember unindicted co 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:45.040 conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation case because nine to eleven, Well, 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:50.520 some people did something. CARE was founded after nine eleven 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:55.960 because they recognize that some people did something and that 0:11:56.200 --> 0:12:03.040 all of us were starting to lose access to our liberties. Okay, 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:08.400 and then she literally goes on to explain and I 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:12.080 don't have time to play it now, joking about people 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:17.000 saying al Qaeda and Hezbollah after nine to eleven. I mean, 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:20.240 that's pretty pretty devastating now, you know, so the presidents saying, 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.120 won't go back to your country when you fix your 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.120 country and you'll learn how to fix that, comeback and 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.480 teach us how to do it here. Well, if you 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:32.760 look at Somalia laws, they're pretty vicious. Women who consent 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.880 to abortion or cause one are punished to one to 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.120 five years in jail. If you say anything that's anti Islam, 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:44.160 that brings the religion of Islam into contempt, or bringing 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:49.359 into contempt persons professing their faith in Islam or objects 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:53.600 to dedicated to worship, they're punished by two years. If 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.280 you happen to be gay and you engage in intercourse, 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.440 well that is punishable by three months to three years. 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.679 If you look at the Somalia penal code and you 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:05.839 have the controversy, I don't know what the issue is 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.640 about her marriage to a brother, whether that's true or not. 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:10.800 I'm looking and reading all the articles. I don't have 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:14.199 a definitive answer for you yet. We'll keep looking, but 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.280 you know there are a lot of questions about it. 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:21.800 She makes anti American comments, questions the patriotism of American 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:25.959 born citizens. She blames our involvement in other people's affairs. 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.439 After the al Shabab attack and the Kenya Mali told 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:32.160 you that claims US force has killed thousands of Somalis 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:38.200 during black Hawk Down and Omar's empathy for Islamic extremists. 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.400 And that's when she jokes about people saying al Qaeda 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.840 in a menacing tone, Well, how else would you say it? 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.880 And she knites a debate on Israel and anti Semitism, 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.200 and you know when she talked about it's all about 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:54.440 the Benjamin's you remember that comment. You know, she says, 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:58.240 she chuckles when Israel is called the democracy, compares Israel 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:02.480 to Iran. Really, none of this seems to bother any 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.800 of them, as they keep going more extreme by the hour. 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:07.920 All right, lest we roll along Sean Hannity Show, eight 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:09.760 hundred and ninety four one, Shawn, if you want to 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:13.280 be a part of the program, and everyone wants to 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:20.080 look there is There's always been a blame America first crowd. 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.680 You know, I keep going back to my buddy Barry Farber, 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.200 who deserves all the credit. Has never been a country 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.720 in the history of man that has accumulated more power 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.760 and abused it less. And I add, there's never been 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:33.960 a country in the history of man that has been 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.960 a country that has accumulated more power and used it 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:41.120 for the advancement of the human condition than the United 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:46.680 States of America. Anyway, So you've got this intramural fighting, 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.520 and the president gets involved a little bit with this thing. 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:53.600 On Omar nine to eleven. Oh, some people did things. 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:58.760 I'm like what. She blasts the New york A Rabbi 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:02.960 blast om Are for pushing the claim that Jesus was 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:08.480 Palestinian and not Jewish. That was another controversy, criticized for 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:13.000 retweeting a claim about such and it's like I can 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:18.080 go on all day. She faced scrutiny over a past 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.680 effort to win leniency for nine men accused of trying 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:25.080 to join ISIS. That's on Google. Go take a look 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:28.200 at it, and in a bizarre clip, jokes about people 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.320 saying al Qaeda in a menacing tone. How should we 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:33.880 say it? All right? As we continue twenty five till 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:35.520 the top of the hour, eight hundred and nine four 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.800 one Sean, if you want to be a part of 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:43.840 this extravaganza, listen, I think it's the biggest deal. Two 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.800 big events in the last week for the Democrats. One 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:52.040 is that Acasio Cortez and company her her you know, BFFs, 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:56.880 And that would be Talib and Omar and the group 0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:01.480 of four Ayanna Pressley you know, hauled out regularly now 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.520 by the Speaker of the House. That's interesting, Speaker of 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:08.160 the House says, say it to my face. The same day, 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:12.360 within hours, Acastio Cortez goes out publicly and basically says 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:16.440 she's attacking women of color. And then now you've got 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.880 groups of people now beginning to pair off. Who are 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:22.880 they supporting. On the one hand, I kind of admire 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:26.800 the courage of Alexandria Costio Cortez. I just think that 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:30.480 her opinions are off the wall. I have invited her 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:32.560 for three hours on those radio shows so we can 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.200 go into great depth with her. If she ever wants 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:39.680 the opportunity to be heard and to have a friendly exchange, 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:41.680 and the same with TV, I'd be glad to give 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:46.160 her an hour because I think that this is representative 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:51.640 of this is the new radical left wing socialist Democratic 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:55.120 Party that I've been telling you about. There are there 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:59.440 are I can't think of a moderate conservative voice that 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.640 speaks out in this new Democratic party. And then the 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:05.480 next thing you just have to do is just look 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:08.800 at the twenty twenty candidates. All right, on taxes, they 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:13.600 want to raise them, I mean seventy percent for individuals, 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:17.959 ninety percent corporations. Then a wealth tax. I didn't realize 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:21.240 this till recently New York. You know, if you a 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.800 wealth tax means that after you've been taxed, if you 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:26.960 if you're lucky enough to have saved any money, and 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:28.920 if you saved a certain amount of money, then they 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.880 want another bite at the apple. After the fact, there's 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:35.200 money you've already made and pay taxes on. And then 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:37.720 if you die. You know, I love my accountant says 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.919 this every year. Don't die in New York. I'm like, 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:45.400 I'll try hard not to. I really tax the rich. 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:51.040 We did. Now God forbid the rich leave. The rich left. 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:57.520 They're leaving New York, New Jersey, Illinois, California in droves. 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:02.800 My only fear is that they're leaving because the states 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:06.919 have been destroyed by the politicians that they have selected. 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:11.280 Andrew Cuomo, more than any other governor that I can 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:14.800 think of, has an opportunity to save his state. He 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:18.480 really does. Would be an amazing accomplishment if he would 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:22.720 open up natural gas tracking and upstate New York, which 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.679 you know the last fifteen governors have said they're going 0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:28.320 to help fix the economy and upstate New that would 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:31.520 fix it. That's why Pennsylvania is doing as well as 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:35.840 they are doing. That's why Pennsylvania that you got to 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:37.719 know that that's going to be a big state in 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:43.160 play at swing state for twenty twenty. Whoever wins Pennsylvania 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:46.720 could very likely he's going to be president. Pennsylvania is 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.119 going to be key, assuming a couple of things. I 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:53.879 think the President will win Florida and Ohio and North Carolina. 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:57.560 But I'm never arrogant or cocky about it because we 0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:00.880 don't know what specific issues will be in front of 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:05.879 the public in late October and early November of twenty twenty. 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:08.200 A lot of things can change between now and then, 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.480 but the economy the way it's working. Foreign policy, I 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.440 think most people are pleased with the president's foreign policy positions, 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:18.639 and I think they're pleased with what it kept keeping 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:22.919 his promises to Israel defeating Isis. I think people like 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:26.840 the fact that we have been paying the overwhelming share 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:31.880 of NATO, and he's told these other NATO allied countries 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:34.520 to pay their fair share. I mean, there was an 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:37.280 agreement that we pay x percent of our GDP I 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:38.960 think it was three to percent or whatever it happened 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:41.600 to be, and we pay like three point five and 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:47.480 countries that benefit most directly from that alliance. You know, 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:50.080 they're paying one percent, one and a half percent, two percent. 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:53.119 President saying no, that's not good enough. Same thing on 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:57.160 trade deals, same thing. President kept his promises on judges 0:19:57.200 --> 0:20:00.879 and tax cuts and eliminating the bureaucracy, and on energy, 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:04.200 and he's fighting like hell on the issue of building 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:08.600 the border walls, and he's now doing so successfully. It 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:12.200 was not a good weekend for comrade build the Blasio. 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:15.720 I don't know if there's certain irony here, but it 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:18.879 was in Waterloo, Iowa's I understand it that the moment 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:21.639 the blackout hit parts of the Upper West Side of 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:23.960 New York a little scary for a period of time, 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:29.000 and we'll see what happens. We still don't really have answers. 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:31.240 They say a transformer may have gone on fire, but 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:33.760 they don't know for sure, and con Ed, which is 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:37.720 the company responsible. The governor is furious about it, and 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:42.840 I don't blame him. Linda is whispering in mind. Oh, 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:45.240 I was just saying that we had the Blasio trying 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:47.800 to explain himself, and the most ridiculous thing about the 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:50.840 whole dang explanation is in Iowa explaining it. Oh, yeah, 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:53.600 I'm in Iowa. But I was able to do everything 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:56.000 you needed me to do here from Iowa because I 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:58.399 have an awesome team. I was like, yeah, that's code 0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:01.560 for I didn't do anything and my WDA mare did. Well, 0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:03.399 why didn't he, in this day and age, get in 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:07.159 an airplane and fly home. Now he only does that 0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:09.000 to get to the gym. It takes too long to 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:12.520 get to Brooklyn. Well, yeah, he takes his big suv 0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:15.040 and all his bodyguards to the gym every morning in 0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:18.520 Brooklyn and leaves New York City. That's not a long drive. 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:22.680 But everybody, look at every one of these candidates supports 0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:25.399 a version of the Green New Deal. Every one of 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:29.560 them wants to raise taxes dramatically. Every one of them 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:33.959 buys into this New Green Deal climate change nonsense. That 0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:39.000 is a job's killer. Everyone supports getting off oil and gas. 0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:42.639 They have different time periods. Every one of them has 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:46.840 said that they want medicare for all in ten years. 0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:50.600 It'll eat up the entire basically the entire budget of 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:53.400 the United States just to pay for that. And then 0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:55.359 they don't want us to even have the option of 0:21:55.440 --> 0:22:00.000 private insurance, so you won't even have a way out 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:02.760 of keeping your doctor your plan and saving money. There 0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:08.320 will be no way out, none at all. And on 0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:11.760 foreign policy, okay, well what do they want? They don't 0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:16.760 like Trump's foreign policy? Why what's Trump's farm? He defeated 0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:20.600 Isis from the first city in Syria Isis started, and 0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:23.480 then their expansion. We pushed them back and drove them 0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:28.479 completely out. That's successful. And I think the president's, you know, 0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:31.760 commitment to building the next generation of weaponry is a 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:35.800 great idea because we won't have to send our national treasure, 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:39.720 our kids to go banging door to door in Iraq 0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:43.760 and Afghanistan, you know, so that we can we can 0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:46.280 win the war that way. That we can't fight wars 0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:49.280 that way anymore. Number One, the public doesn't have the 0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:53.359 patience for it. Washington will politicize it. We have to 0:22:53.560 --> 0:22:57.199 we have to fight these wars with an understanding that 0:22:57.359 --> 0:23:00.000 we have to have a military that is so awesome. 0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:02.960 We have to have weaponry that is so amazing that 0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:06.200 we can fight it from Tampa, Florida at the push 0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:10.560 of a button. And we now know we have that capability, 0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:13.000 and we got to make it even better. With the 0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:18.720 defensive system and defensive considerations as well. And one of 0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:22.920 the other things we have to consider is preventing radical 0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:25.800 states like Iran from ever getting a nuclear weapon. We 0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:29.360 cannot allow that to happen at some point. I mean 0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:32.440 this Biden Obama deal one hundred and fifty billion. It's 0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:35.040 not just that we don't even get the inspections that 0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:39.480 we need to see if they are in full compliance. 0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:42.840 The next part of it is in what four years, 0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:44.959 you know, in ten years they were allowed to go 0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:48.879 ahead and make nuclear weapons. That's a dumb idea. And 0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:52.239 if the Russians are helping, we need greater sanctions on them. 0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:54.760 They're going to try and disrupt our elections and they're 0:23:54.760 --> 0:23:57.840 going to try and help the Iranians get nuclear weapons. 0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:01.160 That's not a good idea. And I think there's a 0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:03.960 moment of time that is now building right before our 0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:08.640 eyes where you're going to see a unique alliance fully formed, 0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:15.040 which will include the United States and Israel, the Jordanians, Egyptians, 0:24:15.080 --> 0:24:18.840 the Saudis, all against Iranian hegemony and all in favor 0:24:18.840 --> 0:24:21.480 of taking out those nuclear sites. That's gonna have to happen, 0:24:22.960 --> 0:24:27.879 and we've got none of the contenders Biden, Buddha, Judge, 0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:32.919 or Booker were responding to the question. They were asked 0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:38.440 by a Jewish anti antioccupation activists, the if Not Now 0:24:38.640 --> 0:24:41.520 organization over the weekend, and they were all hit with 0:24:41.560 --> 0:24:45.600
