WEBVTT - Iran Is Obama's Foreign Policy Disaster 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:16.000 You are entering the freedom hunt. President Trump pulls back 0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:19.319 on a strike on Iran, and the left and the 0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:22.159 Democrats are angry at him over it. They say it 0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:25.520 shows that he's erratic. No surprise there, but the President 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.120 knows that the Iranians need to change their ways. Welcome 0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:30.960 to that. Plus the fight over the ice raids that 0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:33.879 have not happened yet, we'll get into allegations over a 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:37.960 leak and what AOC is telling illegals across the country 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:39.800 that in more coming up on the buck Sexton Show. 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:44.080 This is the buck Sexton Show or the mission or 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:48.280 mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:54.000 Mag no mistake, American, You're a great American Again, the 0:00:54.200 --> 0:01:04.120 buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. Now. I 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.560 think a lot of restraint has been shown by us, 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.840 a lot of restraint, and that doesn't mean we're going 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:13.759 to show it in the future. But I felt that 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:17.280 we want to give this a chance, give it a 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.759 good chance. The Supreme Leader of Iran is one who 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:25.120 ultimately is responsible for the hostile conduct of the regime. 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:30.080 He's respected within his country, his office overseas, the regime's 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:35.160 most brutal instruments, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. For these 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:39.640 measures represent a strong and proportionate response to Iran's increasingly 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:44.160 provocative actions. We will continue to increase pressure on Terran 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:50.120 until the regime abandons its dangerous activities and aspirations, including 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:55.640 the pursuit of nuclear weapons. Welcome to the Bucks actions show, everybody. 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:02.840 Resident Trump making the right move here deciding that we 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:07.160 would not fire on Iranian targets in response to their 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.920 doubting of a one hundred and thirty million dollars US grown. 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.720 There were reports over the weekend of a possible cyber 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:19.400 attack on some Iranian targets, but we decided not to 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:24.280 go kinectic and involving casualties, which was the right move. 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:29.919 But as I predicted at the time, and I've said 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.680 on Twitter as well as here on this show, the 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.120 left would find a way to criticize Donald Trump for 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:42.200 not taking lives and being judicious and statesmanlike and wise 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:45.320 in his use of his powers as commander in chief, 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.160 which is exactly what I believe he did here. The 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:52.280 left found a problem with this anyway, Now, before I 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.720 get into how they managed to spin this as somehow 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:59.280 a bad thing that Donald Trump did, which is exactly 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:04.120 what has happened. Let me say that they would have 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:09.399 absolutely hammered him had this gone the other way. If 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:11.840 President Trump had ordered these strikes and one hundred or 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:16.120 one hundred and fifty or more Iranians were killed, including 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:19.480 I would assume some civilians, although maybe mostly military personnel, 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:23.320 but even still military personnel, those are Iranian lives as well. 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.880 And we don't want to kill people unnecessarily from any country. 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.120 But even if he had done that, they would be saying, 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:37.520 what a war monger, what a monster, he's terrible, he's crazy, 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:41.120 he's a sexist, he's a rapist, he's all these horrible things, right, 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.920 That's what they would have said. Instead, Trump pulls back 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:45.200 and says, no, we're not going to do this. I 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.280 decided we're not going to do this. And what you 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:51.000 have are Democrats going forward to say that. Now, the 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:55.240 criticism is that he's erratic. Oh, let's let's criticize the 0:03:55.320 --> 0:04:01.200 process of the commander in chief not ordering for a 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:05.000 lethal strike that could have killed hundreds of people and 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:10.440 instead trying to give diplomacy and continued discussion a chance. Here. Remember, 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:12.480 they did not shoot down an armed America. If they 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.000 shot down it's rather a manned American plane. If they 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.800 shot down a plane they killed our people, I'd say, 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.080 you know, blood for blood, we got to do it. 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.640 They shot down a drone, all right, We've now maybe 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:28.000 taken some according to the the reports, some cyber response to this, 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:30.640 but the President has let it be known that the 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:32.960 next time there's going to be hell to pay. And 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.560 I think the Iranians know that they should take that seriously. 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:39.880 But sometimes it's Maximus the Merciful for those of you 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.880 who know the movie Gladiator, and this time around, that 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:44.479 was the choice that the President made. I think it 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.920 was the right one. That Democrats came out criticizing this 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:54.040 as erratic, as if consistency in ordering a military strike 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.040 is something that should they should strive for it. It's 0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:01.000 not even clear what they think their critics sism is 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.120 other than just Trump equals bad Orange man equals bad 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:10.480 on face the nation. Senator Bernie Sanders described this as 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:14.440 Trump's actions to quote, somebody setting a fire a basket 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.680 full of paper and then putting it out. So what 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.000 are starting a fire a basket full of paper and 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.440 then putting it out. See, we didn't even have to 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:24.040 go to the audio, because I can do it for you. 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:29.039 Senator Kamala Harris told CBS is Ed O'Keefe, I don't 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.400 believe that anyone should receive credit for a crisis of 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:36.680 their own making. Huh. Corey Booker said that Trump's hailing 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.839 of around was meant to quote, even when there are 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.960 strikes on tankers, we see again our allies very skeptical 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.560 to even believe us. Right now. This has been folly. 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.920 There is no strategy here. We have a president that 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:51.760 seems to be doing this like a reality TV show 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:53.880 and trying to build more drama and trying to make 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:58.920 foreign policy by tweet my friends end quote here. Oh 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:02.240 we've got Harris saying this play fifteen. I don't believe 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.560 that anyone should receive credit for a crisis of their 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:08.320 own making. There is no question in my mind that 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.280 the current occupant of the White House, President Trump, put 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:15.680 in place a series of events that led to that event. 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:20.400 How when a President Harris fixed the problem? Well, frankly, 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.680 I believe that we need to get back into the 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.560 arounnuclear deal. It was an agreement that was being complied 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.240 with by all parties. It cannot be the goal to 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:36.279 express one's ego and to engage in gamesmanship without much 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.520 serious regard to the consequence. And I think that's what 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:43.039 we've seen in this president. Let's just pull apart the 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:48.400 nonsense that Kambala Harris is spewing here one when she 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:52.239 says all parties agreed to President Obama agreed to President 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.520 Trump did not. This was not a treaty ratified by 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:58.840 the Senate. This was one president saying I'm going to 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.520 do this thing, and believe it or not. Obama's not 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.800 president for life. He was not Emperor Obama. He was 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.880 president for eight years. Now he's not. Now there's a 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.760 new president. This president doesn't like some of the decisions 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:12.760 that Obama made, doesn't like a lot of the decisions 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.160 Obama made, and he's allowed to undo them or make 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.800 different choices. This is the system. We have Democrats always 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:22.120 talking about the system and undermining it. And what Obama 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.000 hath done is not written in stone for all eternity, 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:28.679 despite what they might like. You know, if he wanted 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.840 something with greater permanence, he should have taken it to 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.000 the Senate. There should have been a ratified treaty. That 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:38.400 is not what happened here one administration's foreign Paul Oh. 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.240 It turns out President Trump agrees with me on this. 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.600 Producer Mike says, I don't even realize this playclip seventeen. 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:46.360 We would love to be able to negotiate a deal 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:47.800 if they want to. If they don't want to, that's 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.080 fine too, But we would love to be able to 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.680 and frankly, they might as well do it soon. It's 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:56.440 very sad what's happening to that country. The deal shouldn't 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.800 never been done. It wasn't ratified by Congress, wasn't properly 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.360 as you know, as a treaty. It wasn't properly done. 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:10.119 It was incorrectly done. But we'll get it properly done. Yeah, 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:11.880 you know, he says, they can either do it or not. 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:15.200 This was always, let me say, before Obama came along 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:21.680 with a foreign policy team equal parts arrogant and incompetent. 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:26.480 Before Obama came along, it was very much the policy 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:31.400 of the United States, on a near bipartisan basis or 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:35.880 somewhat bipartisan basis, to put pressure on Iran to capitulate 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.640 over its nuclear program. It was not to take all 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.240 the pressure that had been building on Iran and say, okay, 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.120 you can keep all of your nuclear stuff. Just don't 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.320 do any more nuclear stuff for a little while, and 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.280 we'll give you all the access in the international markets. 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.960 You need to become much richer, much more powerful, much 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:56.320 more enmeshed in the banking system. Continue all of your 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.480 malign activity across the Middle East, but they'll continue your 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:03.160 ballistic missiles. But just put a little push the pause 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:07.840 button on your nuclear program. That was never what the 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:11.240 initial pressure campaign on Iran was supposed to be about. It. 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.120 It's not push the pause button so that you can 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:14.920 push play at any time. And now we see that's 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.199 exactly what they've done. They're saying they're going to enrich 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.400 You're in from three percent twenty percent, and from twenty 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:23.560 percent up to ninety percent, ninety percent its weapons grade. Well, 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:25.040 that that didn't take it. You know this all of 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:26.800 a sudden, we're talking for this again. It's not like, 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.400 oh wait, but the Iran Deal was in place. I thought, No, 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.440 the Iran Deal didn't do anything to stop Iran from 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:37.800 getting nukes. In fact, it created essentially a clear pathway 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:42.800 to a nuclear Iran, which was considered from the outset 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.120 to be unacceptable to the parties that put together the 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:50.559 strategy of economic pain on the Iranian regime and yes, 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.240 the Iranian state and people to get a change in 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:57.440 their behavior. It was not economic pain to get the 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.560 Iranians to the table so that Obama could create some 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.600 perception of a foreign policy win, so would not look 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:08.000 like eight years of American hard and soft power were 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:13.600 wasted under an incompetent Democrat administration, which is exactly what happened. 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.960 You want to talk about narcissism and arrogance. The Obama 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:22.120 administration put everything into this Iran deal because it was 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:24.880 the only way they could create a talking point that 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:28.160 their foreign policy was not a failure. Let's just do 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:32.160 a quick review, shall we. Syria success or failure, Libya 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:40.920 success or failure, Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, Pick 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.160 a country. Where was the foreign policy success with the 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:48.640 Obama administration? Where did we actually get change that was 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:52.120 meaningful from a foreign ally or partner under the Obama 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.480 You know, yeah, he antagonized Israel a lot, which the 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.160 left like in this country. What else did he do 0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:01.199 that was good? He surged true in Afghanistan to over 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:07.720 one hundred thousand, dramatically increasing casualties, especially of our brave 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:15.320 marines in Helmand and Kandahar. And for what what was 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.560 the strategy to make it look like Obama could be 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:23.760 tough on Afghanistan? That was it. That was it. And 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.320 of course, you know, a rock pull out, didn't want 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.520 to status the forces agreement, didn't get one pulled out, precipitously, 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:31.960 ices fills in the vacuum and we don't know what 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.640 happened from there, and then the other Syrian civil war going. 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.520 I mean, just Obama was a disaster on foreign policy, 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.679 a disaster. And these people like Ben Rhodes, these are 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.120 not good people. These are not people that I think 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.040 even really try hard to do the right things and 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.880 just mess up. They're just not good people. They're a 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:55.160 little petty, smarmy propagandists. The top Obama advisor on foreign policies, 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:58.079 Samantha Power, Susan Rice ben Roth, these are not good people, 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.559 and that was reflected in the foreign policy. That was 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.160 reflected in the choices that were being made. They do 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.680 not share your philosophy of America or right and wrong 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:09.679 for that matter, when it comes to nation states and 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:14.040 their interactions and so now we have to hear from 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.280 those who failed for eight years. Oh my gosh, how 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.960 could Trump have gotten us out of this foreign policy? 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:24.440 How could he have done this? The Irondealist was this 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:31.160 was such a brilliant master stroke of statecraft. Saying that 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.520 he is erratic is interesting, isn't it? Because Trump came 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:40.040 in in a sense to office because he's erratic. I remember, 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:41.880 and many of you were telling me this early on. 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.920 Many of you saw this before I did. I remember 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:48.280 when you were saying that Trump is being brought into 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:52.160 smash things, that Trump is coming in because he will 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:55.320 do it differently, because he's not going to just take 0:12:55.360 --> 0:13:00.800 the DC swamp consensus and run with it. He came 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.719 in to smash, if not the system, at least the 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:07.280 blockages in the system, the parts of it that do 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.080 not function, that do not work. And one area where 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.240 I certainly hope the President can fight back and smash 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:20.160 back is on not getting pulled into another war in 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.920 the Middle East. I understand that military, limited military strikes 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.319 and war are not the exact same thing. I also 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:30.520 know that limited strikes in many other contexts lead to 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.679 less limited strikes leads to an air campaign leads to 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:35.520 a no fly zone, leads to you know, this is 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:39.880 what happens, and we just don't want to make this 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.400 our problem anymore. And they're over the weekend. There are 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.559 stories that there are Trump advisors that really do want 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.520 regime change. They think that they think that now is 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:48.760 the time for regime change. Now is the time that 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:52.640 the Iranian molos will finally be toppled to. You have 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.920 to also remember that there are very powerful people in DC, 0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:00.880 in the Pentagon, in the White House, in the think 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.600 tank community, which still doesn't have a lot of influence 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:05.120 with the public, that has a lot of influence with 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:10.360 the policy community, that they have been waiting decades for 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:14.079 this opportunity in their minds to finally delay deathblow to 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.719 the Iranian regime. And they will feel very justified in 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.600 pushing this president in that direction to try to take it. 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:24.280 And I'm here to say, no, this is not our fight, 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:27.440 this is not our time, this is not what we 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:31.000 should be doing. We tell the Iranians, you hit us, 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:34.120 We're going to hit you back much harder. We don't 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:37.440 want any of this. Though Iran could make the economic 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:41.400 pain stop tomorrow, stop trying to be a nuclear power. 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.720 You're a belligerent, you're a state sponsor of terror, and 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:47.280 we've got you where we want you. Iran, you want 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:48.920 to be a normal country. We're going to bring you 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.120 into being a normal country. You want to act like this, 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.560 We're going to treat you like the state sponsor of 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:57.760 terror that you are and not let up because we 0:14:57.800 --> 0:14:59.920 want to get editorials written about us in the w 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:01.640 Washington Post, the New York Times and make it sounds 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:05.600 like the administration is doing a good job. No, they 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:12.440 must seed any belief and rite to a nuclear weapons program, period, 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.240 full stop. That's what has to happen. And they have 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.240 to stop their support of terror, and they have to 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:21.400 stop undermining our allies in the region in ways that 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:24.080 normal countries don't do. We don't have this, you know, 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:25.920 we're not just picking on Iran for no reason. We 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.720 don't have this problem with Bangladesh. We don't have this 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.080 problem with Ethiopia. You know, we're not running around just 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:32.960 picking countries at random and saying do what we say 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:37.480 or else. The Iranian state has brought this on itself 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.680 and it should pay the price and pay the consequences. 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.400 But that does not mean invasion. It does not mean 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.840 regime change. It does not mean this is our problem 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:49.400 to fix. We've cut them off financially. They know our terms. 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.800 They can either meet them or suffer the consequences that 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.240 should be our post toward them. And I think Trump 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.960 gets that. And the fact that Democrats are whining about 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.400 it and acting like Trump is somehow in the here 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:02.880 just goes to show you that, even when it comes 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:09.560 to life to saving human lives, Pelosi and Booker and 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.440 Harris and the rest of them would rather score points 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:16.360 against Trump than let men and women in Iran go 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.600 back home to their families for at least another day. 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:23.080 Tells you a lot about what the opposition is all about. 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:33.320 We'll be right back. I'm not looking for war, and 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:36.760 if there is, it'll be obliteration like you've never seen before. 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.560 But I'm not looking to do that. But you can't 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.400 have a nuclear weapon. You want to talk good Otherwise 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:44.640 you can have a bad economy for the next three years, 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:50.440 not as far as I'm concerned, no preconditions. That seems 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:55.800 like the proper positioning to me. Why isn't that right? 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:58.480 What about what Trump is saying there is problematic? What 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.920 about what Trump is putting forward. What should anybody who 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:06.320 knows anything about this disagree with saying you can't have 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:11.520 nuclear weapons. He's saying, you know, you can deal with this, 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:17.560 or you can go on as is. And he said 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.160 that there are certainly people in his administration that come 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:21.919 from different sides of this, which I think is a 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:24.639 good thing. Don't we want the president to hear both 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:29.000 sides of the issue? Play fourteen? He can't have nuclear weapons, 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:31.520 and if you want to talk about it, good. Otherwise 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.680 you can live in a shattered economy for a long 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.560 time to come. If you are you do you feel 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:39.920 like you were being pushed into military action against iron 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:41.920 by any of your advices. I have two groups of people. 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.280 I have doves and have hawks. You have some have 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:48.080 some hawks. John Bolden was absolutely a hawk. Is up 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:50.359 to him, he'd take on the whole world at one time. Okay, 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:56.639 But that doesn't matter because I want both sides, Isn't it? 0:17:56.800 --> 0:18:01.000 Isn't it amazing how this president on both sides, is 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:04.040 trying to be deliberative and thoughtful about as important issue 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:08.520 as faces any commander in chief, issues of war in peace. 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:15.879 And they've been saying, they've been saying that he is 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.840 the problem. You know, the establishment is saying that he's 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:21.800 the one that's pushing us closer war, that he's the 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:27.960 one that can't be trusted, and Obama and Bush midiast wars, 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:31.560 that we did not have to fight Trump trying to 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:34.400 keep us out of a Midiast war. He gets no support, 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:39.360 including from Democrats who are generally opposed to all US 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:42.600 military interventions abroad. They're still finding a way to make 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.640 Trump the problem instead of giving him credit where it's due. 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:51.480 We will make a full and complete education a human 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:56.360 right in America to which all of our people are entitled. 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:04.760 This means making public colleges, universities, and HBCUs tuition free 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:10.040 and debt free. This proposal completely eliminates student debt in 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:16.040 this country and ends the absurdity of sentencing an entire generation, 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:20.119 the millennial generation, to a lifetime of debt for the 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:23.920 crime of doing the right thing, and that is going 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:28.520 out and getting a higher education. Our proposal, which costs 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:33.360 two point two trillion over ten years, will be fully 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:38.720 paid for by a tax on Wall Street speculation, similar 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:42.040 to what exists in dozens of countries around the world. 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:48.080 Oh here we go, Bertie. Third, This is gonna give 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:51.520 rid of one point seven trillion dollars of student loan 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:57.879 debt all at once, one point six trillion gone, just 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:02.960 disappeared in the couch cushions. It's pretty amazing, isn't it. 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:08.240 Bernie Sanders saying that if you have outstanding student loan debt, 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:11.919 it will just disappear under his administration. I'm sure this 0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:15.280 is very populous. And folks, this is problematic, my friends, 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:19.280 It's terrible idea. Really. That's not to say there won't 0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:20.800 be people who benefit from it. I know probably a 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:22.200 lot of you listen to this and be like, wow, Buck, 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:24.480 that'd be kind of cool. It'd be nice to be 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:28.879 free of student loan debt. Okay. But his plan is 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:31.879 different than Elizabeth Warren's plan. Elizabeth Warren's plan from a 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:34.920 couple of months ago was to and this is you're 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:36.720 now seeing the progressive fight that we all knew was 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:39.399 coming between Warren and Sanders. Warren and Sanders, here's a 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:43.000 I think Warren's gonna win this, meaning she's gonna beat Sanders. 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:45.040 I think Warren is going to become the progressive Candida, 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:50.200 I think, my friends, despite her DNA debacle, I think 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:53.280 Warren maybe the Democratic candidate. I know it's I know 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:56.000 you're saying, fuck right now, there's you're her driving, Please 0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:58.880 please drive safely, keep keep your eyes on the road 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:01.840 ahead of you. You're probably you know, throwing something out 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:05.680 the window. Yeah, I think that there could be warned. 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:07.879 Democrats don't. They didn't care the Clinton lied and was 0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:09.680 and had all the baggage that he had. They don't 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:12.080 care about Warren's baggage. She gives them a lot of 0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:15.080 what of what do they want? She really does. She 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:18.639 fills in a lot of the boxes for them. So 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:20.880 a woman which they still haven't gotten over the whole 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:24.880 Hillary didn't break the ultimate glass ceiling thing. It's very progressive. 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:28.800 She has, you know, the impressive academic background, not earned 0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:31.480 by being an impressive academic, but she does have the background. 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:37.120 She does have the resume. So Warren is very very real. 0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:39.160 Back in contention again, it's just this is the world 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:41.200 we live in now, where she can be a bizarro 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:44.320 and a liar and a fraud, but Democrats are like, 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:49.679 so what Her plan, though, for whatever it's worth, was 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:53.600 more realistic as these things go. It would have capped 0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:56.320 all debt forgiveness for student loans for each individual at 0:21:56.359 --> 0:22:00.720 fifty thousand dollars and would have also tapered off for 0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:05.480 households that earn over six figures. Sanders is just TABULARASA 0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:09.120 clean slate. It's a party baby going down to zero, 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:12.959 no more student loans, that's what he's telling you. They 0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:17.160 all go away, all they all go by by. Well, 0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:20.800 who pays for that? You say, because there's debt owed 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:25.040 to somebody. That's what student loans, you know, debt means 0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:28.000 there's a counterparty's somebody. Also in this case, the federal 0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:30.240 government has backstop these loans. The money has already been 0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:33.000 paid at the university. So the federal government, I suppose, 0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:37.359 just pretends like this money was never owed, comes from somewhere, 0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:40.320 is going to come from somewhere else. I mean, what 0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:42.679 is the real financial mechanism it's going to be used here? 0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:47.320 That's not even all that clear. But there are so 0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:50.159 many problems in this in the implementation, never mind in 0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:54.840 the conceptualization, which I'll also get into. Almost forty percent 0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:58.600 of student loan debt that has been has been taken 0:22:58.640 --> 0:23:00.679 out at this point is for graduate at schools. These 0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:04.000 are people who are in many cases specializing in and 0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:08.080 trying to advance their professional careers. And this is something 0:23:08.119 --> 0:23:10.440 that I know of because you are listening to a 0:23:10.600 --> 0:23:14.120 radio host who got into media because my choices were 0:23:14.359 --> 0:23:18.080 mba program and a couple one hundred thousand dollars of 0:23:18.240 --> 0:23:22.080 debt by the time I paid it off. Or take 0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:24.440 a job with a little company called the Blaze, and 0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:27.960 this guy named Glenn Beck, who took a chance on 0:23:28.000 --> 0:23:30.080 a kid that had never done media before, turned out 0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:32.080 to be pretty darn good at it. And thank you Glenn, 0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:33.960 by the way, and I'm always going to be thankful 0:23:34.000 --> 0:23:40.479 to Glenn for the opportunity. But it was no small 0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:42.560 part of my decision making process to be like cool 0:23:42.600 --> 0:23:46.719 new company with a paycheck, Or go to a fancy 0:23:46.760 --> 0:23:50.399 business school and just start running the running the the 0:23:50.440 --> 0:23:54.280 clock on massive loans. Big loans, you know, something like 0:23:55.119 --> 0:23:57.040 seventy five thousand a year, because you have to take 0:23:57.040 --> 0:23:59.159 out living expenses too. And then by the time you 0:23:59.240 --> 0:24:01.399 pay that off, if you paid it off on the schedule, 0:24:01.640 --> 0:24:03.760 it ends up being two hundred two hundred fifty thousand dollars. 0:24:03.800 --> 0:24:07.200 You're paying off for two years of school. Folks. Okay, 0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:09.960
