Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Well, the socialist Extravaganza
Speaker 1: continued with Night two of the Democrat debates. Will break
Speaker 1: down all the craziness on healthcare, the border, you name it,
Speaker 1: and attacks on Obama. Oh my. Plus looks like Komy's
Speaker 1: going to escape justice even though they know that he
Speaker 1: is shady. We'll get into that and more coming up
Speaker 1: on The Buck Sexton Show. This is the bus Sexton Show,
Speaker 1: where the mission or mission is to decode what really
Speaker 1: matters with actionable intelligence. Mag No mistake, America, You're a
Speaker 1: great American Again, the Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a
Speaker 1: great guy. No, Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show, coming
Speaker 1: to you live from Los Angeles, California, out here on
Speaker 1: the left coast, the West coast. Oh my, in preparation
Speaker 1: for a little appearance on a real time HBO tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: Looking forward to that. It's going to be me. It's
Speaker 1: going to be a fellow named Josh Barrow, who I'm
Speaker 1: not particularly familiar with, and Jennifer Granholm, former governor of
Speaker 1: the state of Michigan. So we're gonna have a chat.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be fun. We've had chats before at CNN
Speaker 1: those have been lively, so we're gonna have a great
Speaker 1: time discussed tomorrow night. And then of course Bill Maher
Speaker 1: hosting'll be oh and Mary Anne Williamson, she's going to
Speaker 1: show up and she's going to explain to me that
Speaker 1: my inner spirit, if only the proper crystals are waved
Speaker 1: above my head, will allow me to completely and utterly
Speaker 1: transform America. That's right, all you need some healing crystals.
Speaker 1: Mary Yan doing her thing. And then there's that other
Speaker 1: guy who Bennett. You know, we had the debates last
Speaker 1: night and some of the stuff that I latched onto
Speaker 1: was not we're gonna dive into the policy. I got
Speaker 1: Ovic Roy joining us later in the show. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: ask o all the questions about healthcare that you would
Speaker 1: ever need to know or ask to understand everything that's
Speaker 1: going on the Democrat debates. We're gonna give Ovica nice
Speaker 1: long lead time to explain things in the third hour
Speaker 1: because he's he's a healthcare super nerd in the best ways,
Speaker 1: so he'll he'll walk us through all that. One of
Speaker 1: my other favorite things was this guy Bennett, Senator Bennett
Speaker 1: from Colera. You know, he really sounds candidate. His character
Speaker 1: from sath Park. He listened to him. He's like, you know,
Speaker 1: we do this in my state, and we producer, Mike,
Speaker 1: do we have any Bennett audio? I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: see it, but if we do, just by just for
Speaker 1: a way of comparison, we should throw that in the mix.
Speaker 1: You know. I just think you climb a change just
Speaker 1: gonna like destroy the whole world. So yeah, he was, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll think some off. He was, yeah, can you can
Speaker 1: you grab subs so we get to see how much
Speaker 1: Just because I think my Mary and Williams is getting
Speaker 1: pretty good too, folks. That's right. There's a dark psychic
Speaker 1: force overtaking America. She's awesome. She is entertaining, folks, She's entertaining.
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. But oh my, the crazy last night,
Speaker 1: the crazy that was on display. It is hard to
Speaker 1: overstate these democrats. They do not they do not know
Speaker 1: what they are doing themselves over the long run. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just some of the some of the top lines
Speaker 1: I had from this. Every time one of them says
Speaker 1: they want to decriminalize the border, I'm like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is practically an in kind donation to Trump twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Decriminalize the border. That's an folks, that's an open border. Okay,
Speaker 1: they can keep trying to move the goalpost everything else.
Speaker 1: If it is no longer a criminal fence to enter
Speaker 1: US sovereign territory without legal permission, that's an open border.
Speaker 1: That's what that is. You can try it. And by
Speaker 1: the way, there's no other country in the world that
Speaker 1: takes the position that we do. If just show up
Speaker 1: and walk in and we'll give you the equivalent of
Speaker 1: a parking ticket. Who's going to go through the league up?
Speaker 1: I don't want to get too far ahead of myself.
Speaker 1: We'll dive into this. Who's gonna go through the legal
Speaker 1: immigration process? If you can just walk into America and
Speaker 1: pay a fine, or you can wait years and years
Speaker 1: go through all maybe not even ever get picked, maybe
Speaker 1: not actually successfully get through the immigration process, pay thousands
Speaker 1: of dollars of legal fees to immigration attorneys possibly, or
Speaker 1: you can just walk into America across the US Mexico
Speaker 1: border and you know, take your parking ticket, do pass, go,
Speaker 1: do collect two hundred dollars. You're good to go. They
Speaker 1: were just saying absolutely crazy stuff last night on at
Speaker 1: the Base stage, and I was looking around, like this,
Speaker 1: this cannot be real. I mean, on healthcare, Bernie Sanders
Speaker 1: is just straight up living in a fantasy land. On
Speaker 1: the border. They are now for open borders, and I
Speaker 1: think that's their achilles heel, because look, the Republicans aren't
Speaker 1: great on healthcare. I'm not going to sit here and
Speaker 1: carry water for them. What is the Republican plan? Folks?
Speaker 1: I ask you this in good and in all honesty.
Speaker 1: They don't know. How could you know? They don't know?
Speaker 1: Got a huge election here. You know, the only problem
Speaker 1: with Americans right now is we're getting a little too
Speaker 1: a little too soft and happy, I think with a
Speaker 1: really strong economy, deregulation, you know, no, no crazy social
Speaker 1: initiatives jammed down our throats by this for the social
Speaker 1: justice warriors amusement at least, not by the administration. No,
Speaker 1: no wars started unnecessarily. I mean, I do worry that
Speaker 1: the American people. Now, you know, we've had a few
Speaker 1: years of oh this is it's like a It's like
Speaker 1: adults are running things. You could say that you think
Speaker 1: that Trump sometimes is immature on the on Twitter or whatever,
Speaker 1: but the policy results, it feels like adults are running things.
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like the faculty lounge at Weslean or
Speaker 1: Oberlin or read Those are the most left wing schools
Speaker 1: I could think of off thought of my head. Pretty good.
Speaker 1: List doesn't feel like they're running everything, and people with
Speaker 1: no connection to economics, business, rule of law are just
Speaker 1: making it up as they go along. And I worry
Speaker 1: that because we're experiencing this, we might get a little complacent.
Speaker 1: Then the American people in general are like, oh, everything
Speaker 1: will be fine. Yeah, let's try a little more socialism.
Speaker 1: Let's see how that. Let's give it a little dabble,
Speaker 1: see how that goes. I mean, last night there were
Speaker 1: so many things. The anti cop sentiment, which I'll spend
Speaker 1: a little more time on later, was disgusting. Democrats should
Speaker 1: be ashamed of themselves, I mean, among and if you're
Speaker 1: going to tell me, if you're gonna lecture me as
Speaker 1: the Democrats have for two years, about how our institutions
Speaker 1: are so critical to this country and institutions like the FBI,
Speaker 1: and how dare anyone criticized Komey who's a partisan hack
Speaker 1: Muller who is used as a false front for the investigation,
Speaker 1: and an anti Trump partisan. Brennan, who is an Obama partisan.
Speaker 1: I mean, you got on this list, you criticize any
Speaker 1: of them and your undermining institutions. Meanwhile, law enforcement cops
Speaker 1: across the country doing a legitimately difficult and dangerous job
Speaker 1: and making this country, for all of our faults, for
Speaker 1: all of our problems, quite safe in the grand scheme
Speaker 1: of things. I mean, just comparis to some of our
Speaker 1: southern neighbors, folks, I mean, you want to live you
Speaker 1: want to live in America, You want to live in Brazil.
Speaker 1: Murder rate per capita several times ours. You know we are.
Speaker 1: Our law enforcement is unbelievably on the grand scale of things,
Speaker 1: unbelievably professional and decent. They're part of us. There are
Speaker 1: community I've got law enforcement in my family. I worked
Speaker 1: for the NYPD. Many of you listening, your active law enforcement.
Speaker 1: They just the Democrats just trash cops like they're nothing.
Speaker 1: Trash cops, like they're a bunch of you know, one
Speaker 1: moment that got the shoe in the gun. On the
Speaker 1: next moment they're putting on a kkkhood. I'm not exaggerating.
Speaker 1: They really think the cops are horrible racists. Tulsi Gabbard,
Speaker 1: who I'm inclined to generally be favorably disposed towards and
Speaker 1: some of you are going to make fun of me
Speaker 1: for that, but that's fine. We cannot help who we are.
Speaker 1: But she said that Trump was supporting al Qaida last
Speaker 1: night and people were clapping. What supporting Alain's completely insane.
Speaker 1: But this is what you realize is that they're fighting
Speaker 1: over the most fervent and crazy left wing activists media voices,
Speaker 1: and so that the connection to normal Americans is tenuous best.
Speaker 1: I mean, the stuff that they're talking about was completely nuts.
Speaker 1: But if there was one takeaway, I know we talked
Speaker 1: about the debate from the night before already, so I'll
Speaker 1: try not to focus too much on the socialism versus
Speaker 1: I didn't even think it's socialism versus liberalism. It's really
Speaker 1: socialism versus math. That was debate night number one. Elizabeth Warren,
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, Pete Buddha Judge. He's just as bad as
Speaker 1: they are. By the way, she has fancy degrees. Fancy
Speaker 1: degrees sometimes it can be meaningful. Most of the time,
Speaker 1: it's not night Wale with socialism versus math. Last night
Speaker 1: it was really Bernie ver I mean, Biden versus the
Speaker 1: mob and they were just all coming at Biden, and
Speaker 1: I will say I think he did a pretty good
Speaker 1: job defending his turf. I don't just come and it
Speaker 1: loses its meaning, right if everything I do is just, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't like this person, so they're terrible, and everything
Speaker 1: that is terrible. Of course, not gotta call balls and strikes,
Speaker 1: gotta be honest in the analysis. I thought that Biden
Speaker 1: did a pretty solid job of standing his ground last night.
Speaker 1: But what was amazing was because of that, and because
Speaker 1: of the ferocious progressivism that is the motivating force of
Speaker 1: the left wing basse now because they're just so the
Speaker 1: Trump de derangement syndrome has spread so far and wide.
Speaker 1: They turned on Obama's legacy in a way that I
Speaker 1: will say was somewhat jaw dropping, even for me watching
Speaker 1: this as a conservative who thinks that Obama did a
Speaker 1: terrible job on a whole number of fronts. But if
Speaker 1: I were a Democrat, I would not be going after
Speaker 1: Obama's legacy. I'd be saying, here's a guy who look,
Speaker 1: you compare Obama too, And now I know of some
Speaker 1: of you, I'm on dangerous ground. You're telling you that
Speaker 1: Obama was a skilled and gifted politician, but he was.
Speaker 1: He won two elections president for eight years, ran through Obamacare.
Speaker 1: He had bad judgment, he had poor decision making, but
Speaker 1: in terms of getting himself elected, guy I just kept
Speaker 1: you know, let's be honest, I mean, all election wise,
Speaker 1: all he did was win one after another. And there
Speaker 1: that clown car of Democrats from last night of the
Speaker 1: night last night was the one that really came up.
Speaker 1: They're throwing the Obama legacy under the bus. It was
Speaker 1: amazing to see, but it's just there so much desperation
Speaker 1: to try to chip away at Biden's lead and Biden's
Speaker 1: un assailable pole advantage so far that they were talking
Speaker 1: about how and it was on some stuff that was
Speaker 1: it's not just on the you know, insufficiency of Obamacare,
Speaker 1: but they were going after from particularly on immigration and deportations.
Speaker 1: There were some crowd interruptions last night. One was over
Speaker 1: how they want but Officer Pantaleo to be fired. Who
Speaker 1: was the individual who put Eric Garner a chokehold? I
Speaker 1: do think if we're going to talk about that case,
Speaker 1: people need to He did not die from asphyxiation. He
Speaker 1: died from a heart attack, So that is that is
Speaker 1: an essential detail that gets left out of this conversation
Speaker 1: because they say he died because he got put in
Speaker 1: a chokehold. He died of a heart attack because he
Speaker 1: got put in a chokehold, which is a different thing,
Speaker 1: not to say that everything that went down in that
Speaker 1: circumstance was the way that, you know, least procedure should
Speaker 1: have gone. I've had some officers, I'll be I'll tell you,
Speaker 1: I've had some officers who said that, you know, you
Speaker 1: can't put that high choke hold on him. I've had
Speaker 1: others who said, look, you're you're wrestling a guy down
Speaker 1: who won't go down in the street, who said he
Speaker 1: won't go down, things are going to get rough. And
Speaker 1: they didn't choke him out to death. They were choking
Speaker 1: him or one officer was joke game. Then he had
Speaker 1: a heart attack. But they were screaming about how they
Speaker 1: wanted to fire Pantaleo, and then they also were screaming
Speaker 1: about I believe I listened to it last night, and
Speaker 1: then I listened to it again this morning. The Deporter
Speaker 1: in chief stuff about Obama, that Obama, the Obama administration
Speaker 1: deported people. Now I've always said that that was that
Speaker 1: was a savvy political move from the Obama administration's point
Speaker 1: of view, because they got very close with complicit Republicans.
Speaker 1: Hello Marko Rubio, there were a bunch of them very
Speaker 1: close to getting through an amnesty. And then once you
Speaker 1: get the ambassay through, then you can make whatever changes
Speaker 1: you want at the border. Because they were a Republican
Speaker 1: parties effectively dead, never win another election for the rest
Speaker 1: of our lives. So it was it was smart to
Speaker 1: create the perception of, oh, we see, we'll work with you,
Speaker 1: we're reasonable on the border, we will deport people, we'll
Speaker 1: do stuff, but give us the amnesty. And they got
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure. They got very close. It was
Speaker 1: a close fought battle for sure, but because of that,
Speaker 1: because the Obama administration did deport people and was willing
Speaker 1: to at least put up a facade of being reasonable. Look,
Speaker 1: O Bomb, we've played the audio Obama told people, don't
Speaker 1: come here, don't bring your kids here. Obama was saying
Speaker 1: things on immigration that now Democrats, without batting and without
Speaker 1: batting an eyelash, are saying is horribly racist for Republicans
Speaker 1: to say. And just in order to get after Joe
Speaker 1: Biden last night, they were trashing the Obama legacy. It
Speaker 1: was an amazing thing. Now I think that this will
Speaker 1: all be long forgotten when we get a few debates
Speaker 1: down the road and there's a whole conversation we had
Speaker 1: too about whether debates even really matter. People. All the
Speaker 1: pollings show that Hillary beat Trump in the debates. The polling,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think that she did. But and
Speaker 1: Trump went on to win anyway. Mit Romney annihilated Obama
Speaker 1: in the first debate in twenty twelve. I mean, it
Speaker 1: was the biggest, the biggest butt kicking in a debate
Speaker 1: that I can ever remember. And people, look, MIT's become
Speaker 1: a Democrat. Fine, but he did do a great job
Speaker 1: in that first debate. But the attack on Obama's legacy
Speaker 1: last night was, if nothing else, the strongest single data point,
Speaker 1: an indicator that you could look to that this Democratic
Speaker 1: Party has completely lost its mind. Obama is not liberal
Speaker 1: enough for the Democratic Party of today in this primary.
Speaker 1: Obama is not progressive enough for these left wing Libs
Speaker 1: who would have thought that that's where we were heading
Speaker 1: even a few years ago. But that is where we are.
Speaker 1: And now that we've established that, and you know, there
Speaker 1: are Democrats that I do think last night were they
Speaker 1: were a little shocked, and I know there's been some
Speaker 1: blowback about this. You cannot you can't be a Democrat
Speaker 1: and go after Saint Obama. We'll break down some of
Speaker 1: the policy dispute, some of the crazy stuff they said
Speaker 1: coming up in a moment of your team. So stay
Speaker 1: with me. This is the fourth debate that we have
Speaker 1: had in the second time that we have been debating
Speaker 1: what people did fifty years ago with busing, when our
Speaker 1: schools are segregated today as they were fifty years ago.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just think that he kind of sounds
Speaker 1: a little bit like this. My name is Senator Bennett
Speaker 1: and I'm from Colorado. In my eyebrow kind of mouse
Speaker 1: funny when I get really excited, and you know, climate change, immigration,
Speaker 1: open borders sounds good. Producer Mark, come on right, it's
Speaker 1: it's pretty close. It's like a south Park character, he
Speaker 1: does he sounds like a South Park character. I'm not
Speaker 1: the only one who thinks so, I'm telling you people,
Speaker 1: if people have realized this, it's amazing to me. The
Speaker 1: guy's a senator. He's one of these senators that no
Speaker 1: one knew about until he ran I guess if you're
Speaker 1: from Colorado, you know about him. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: team somebody brought up today to me over coffee that
Speaker 1: I had not said. Hey, I haven't heard you take
Speaker 1: a phone call in a while. Guess what, We'll take
Speaker 1: some phone calls if you want. So it's really this
Speaker 1: question of who's listening right now live and wants to
Speaker 1: light up those lines. That's right. Eight four four nine
Speaker 1: hundred two eight two five eight four four nine hundred
Speaker 1: buck was the last time we even got to say
Speaker 1: the number on the air. And I just I love
Speaker 1: getting right to the issues, and I get all excited,
Speaker 1: and I guess I guard my time with you jealously,
Speaker 1: and as much as I love to hear from all
Speaker 1: of you, we don't take that many calls here, so
Speaker 1: it's kind of a special thing when we do. But
Speaker 1: eight four four nine hundred two eight two five and
Speaker 1: if none of you call em, well, then I don't
Speaker 1: have to feel bad about not taking that many calls.
Speaker 1: So those of you who like like live calls, now
Speaker 1: you know it's it's now or never. You know you
Speaker 1: do or you don't. The fish are coming with me.
Speaker 1: The fish are coming with me. Oh since we're doing
Speaker 1: the Bennett we have Maryann Williamson play twenty three. Oh
Speaker 1: we don't have it all right? Fine, why don't we
Speaker 1: hub it? Very well? I got to hear it again
Speaker 1: to be able to do it hers. Sometimes it escapes me.
Speaker 1: But she's she's an interesting lady. All right. So what
Speaker 1: are we going to talk about that's of major importance
Speaker 1: in the world of policy. Next, I'm gonna go through
Speaker 1: the craziest things that they said for the debate last night,
Speaker 1: all of which tell us something about the left wing
Speaker 1: mind these days, and then we'll bust bust down some
Speaker 1: of the broader issues that they addressed. I mean, the
Speaker 1: one that I think, Look here, here's my sense of
Speaker 1: where this whole thing is going. They have the advantage
Speaker 1: on healthcare, and they're going to continue to unless Republicans
Speaker 1: step it up, unless Trump steps it up and explains
Speaker 1: what is the deal here? What is the plan? And
Speaker 1: they have a huge liability on immigration. There's no way
Speaker 1: that they are not going to be able to sell
Speaker 1: their nonsense open borders position to the middle of America
Speaker 1: that is going to be deciding this election in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio,
Speaker 1: Florida's not the middle. But you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: they're They're not going to be able to do that.
Speaker 1: So I'm wondering. Oh, and there was a really interesting
Speaker 1: moment between I think Kamala Harris might have gotten brought
Speaker 1: down a level or two last night by Tulsi, you
Speaker 1: know us. I mean, I like Tulsi and Yang. If
Speaker 1: I if I had to vote for somebody on the
Speaker 1: left of probably Delaney, but Tulsi and Yang, I want
Speaker 1: to hang out with both of them. This is the
Speaker 1: betrayal to the American people, to me, to my fellow
Speaker 1: service members. We were all lied too, told that Saddam
Speaker 1: Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, was working with al Qaeda,
Speaker 1: and that this posed a threat to the American people.
Speaker 1: So I enlisted after nine to eleven to protect our country,
Speaker 1: to go after the those who attacked us on that
Speaker 1: fateful day, who took the lives of thousands of Americans.
Speaker 1: The problem is that this current president is continuing to
Speaker 1: betray us. We were supposed to be going after all Kaida,
Speaker 1: but over years now, not only have we not gone
Speaker 1: after all Kaida, who is stronger today than they were
Speaker 1: in nine to eleven, Our president is supporting al Qaida.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm usually willing to hear what Tulsee Gabbard.
Speaker 1: That's her last note the debate has to say on things.
Speaker 1: I agree with her that, you know, no more new wars, please,
Speaker 1: no more wars, No more wars of choice because someone
Speaker 1: thinks in a think tank somewhere that it's going to
Speaker 1: create a domino effect and a flourishing of democracy across
Speaker 1: the Muslim world's let's not do that again. Those of
Speaker 1: you who are veterans, I think most of you listening
Speaker 1: to this who are veterans would would heartily agree with
Speaker 1: that sentiment. I would bet. I don't know, but I
Speaker 1: think we need to wait until the next war comes
Speaker 1: to us, which will happen at some point, but we
Speaker 1: don't need to go looking for projects for our military
Speaker 1: of raw. We need to refit, re equip, rest, prepare,
Speaker 1: prepare for the next one, because I think the next
Speaker 1: one is gonna be big, and it's gonna be against
Speaker 1: the country that actually has, you know, an air force
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Not to get too far ahead
Speaker 1: of myself, but Tulsea Gabbert said, there was just this
Speaker 1: is just the nuts our president support President Trump supports
Speaker 1: al Qaida. That's what she said on the debate stage.
Speaker 1: Did you see a lot of outrage about this. Could
Speaker 1: you imagine somebody on the Republican debate got up there
Speaker 1: and said, or Republican on a debate stage, Barack Obama
Speaker 1: openly supports al Qaia. I don't think that that would
Speaker 1: have been allowed to pass as a thing that could
Speaker 1: be said. But let's just break this down real quick.
Speaker 1: I think what she was going for, what she would say,
Speaker 1: and it's crazy, So there is no that's a crazy
Speaker 1: thing to say. So that's why this is going on
Speaker 1: our crazy pile, and we got a whole big crazy
Speaker 1: pile to get through. But what she would say is
Speaker 1: that we're supporting Saudi Arabia. The Saudis are supporting the
Speaker 1: anti Hootie resistance in Yemen in the Arabia Peninsula, and
Speaker 1: the anti Hoothy resistance include some elements that are either
Speaker 1: AQAP tied or officially part of al Qaeda in the
Speaker 1: Arabian Peninsula. Therefore, through the transitive property of supporting terrorists,
Speaker 1: we are supporting Trump is supporting Alkaida. This is if
Speaker 1: you want to make that the new standard, will then
Speaker 1: just think about how much support of ISIS when they
Speaker 1: were lopping off people's heads and letting them on fire.
Speaker 1: Barack Obama did by sending munitions and training and doing
Speaker 1: all these things for the for units that turned out
Speaker 1: to just be part of ISIS. I mean, would either
Speaker 1: flip go to their side or were ISIS all along?
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what was happening. The weapons we're
Speaker 1: getting into their hands, the training, and we spent I
Speaker 1: think it was five hundred million dollars in some Pentagon
Speaker 1: program to train a free Syrian Army force and they
Speaker 1: ended up training a total of I believe you have
Speaker 1: to check me on this. It was less than ten guys.
Speaker 1: I think it was seven or something that were battlefield
Speaker 1: operational magnificent seven. So TULSI just that was wacko stuff.
Speaker 1: I did say, we take some calls. The lines are open,
Speaker 1: the lines a little up like a Christmas tree when
Speaker 1: I several take calls. So perhaps that's you guys sending
Speaker 1: me a message eight four four nine hundred two eight
Speaker 1: two five If you want to call in, let's get
Speaker 1: to uh AJ down in Mobile, Alabama. AJ. What's up?
Speaker 1: Welcome to Buck sexon show he boils a brother chields. Ye, brother,
Speaker 1: how are you doing all right? Man? I try to
Speaker 1: catch him and home. I thank Furtheraday Trump's doing it now,
Speaker 1: standing job. I thank the Democrats to slam off the rails. Man.
Speaker 1: They're a bunch of idiots. And I'll tell you, man,
Speaker 1: this election don't make a break in concert. People better way.
Speaker 1: I'm slight over to coffee, roll on treble co sign
Speaker 1: on this election being very important, my friend. And thank
Speaker 1: you so much, JJ from calling from mobile. Do appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Shields tie to you Jody in Salt Lake City. I've
Speaker 1: been out Salt Lake in a while. How are you doing, Jody? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. Back. I have enjoyed you since the
Speaker 1: original Saturday Squad. So oh wow, oh s s Jody, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: I did not appreciate Andrew Gang, thank you weekly a
Speaker 1: little butt man flaming me how he was going to
Speaker 1: pay me as a woman for unpaid work because apparently
Speaker 1: I don't have the brains God gave room temperature lettuce
Speaker 1: to figure out how to live my life. Oh I
Speaker 1: am not down with that at all. Yeah. This is
Speaker 1: when he was talking about unpaid work in the home,
Speaker 1: and this is his way of trying to justify his
Speaker 1: plan for the universal basic income right that women, essentially
Speaker 1: who are in the home because that work is unpaid,
Speaker 1: the universal basic income would serve the purpose of pay.
Speaker 1: But that's not really even accurate because if everyone's getting paid,
Speaker 1: you're not getting paid for being in the home. You're
Speaker 1: just getting paid for breathing exactly. And frankly, I'm at
Speaker 1: fifty two years old, I have figured out. How did
Speaker 1: you think nf I stopped thinking now and being a
Speaker 1: productive human being. I am still light years ahead of
Speaker 1: his crappy a little behind managing to come close to
Speaker 1: my baby finger. I gotta tell you, Jody, it sounds
Speaker 1: like you are not joining the Yang Gang anytime soon. No,
Speaker 1: not not part of the yangeg all right, Jody Schiel,
Speaker 1: thank you for calling it from Utah. He's not, dude,
Speaker 1: not on team Yangyo. Producer Mike, you have to vote
Speaker 1: for a Democrat based on what we've seen so far.
Speaker 1: Have to no, you know, no opt out, no pass
Speaker 1: who you vote for? Uh, Delaney, it's easy, Delaney, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there were Producer Mark, Producer Mark, you are you are
Speaker 1: locked in. You cannot escape. We will hold you down
Speaker 1: until you vote for a Democrat. Who is it? I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna make you angry, and said Bill de Blasio.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, someone's gonna get a code red. I'm
Speaker 1: not ordering the code red right now. I'm just saying
Speaker 1: if someone gets a code read, maybe they deserved it.
Speaker 1: Producer Mike so Yeah, de Blasi. One thing I liked
Speaker 1: about the Blasio is that everyone kind of joins it.
Speaker 1: Even Democrats join in the Deblasio. Hey, They're like, well,
Speaker 1: this guy's a total cloud. Why is he running that?
Speaker 1: My favorite question about Bill de Blasio is how did
Speaker 1: he become Mayor of New York Because people really are
Speaker 1: befuddled in a way that it is. You get into
Speaker 1: Anthony Weiner and the you know, the Wiener photos and
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and that's how you that's how you
Speaker 1: figure it out. But it's a wild time. Oh we
Speaker 1: were talking about crazy and there was a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of this stuff, for example, and I knew this was
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Here we are in year three of the
Speaker 1: Trump presidency, and I don't think there's a human being
Speaker 1: out there. I don't think you could find one who
Speaker 1: would say that if the economy were really bad, Trump
Speaker 1: would not be blamed for that economy, right, we all
Speaker 1: know that. And if you said, well, Trump inherited a week,
Speaker 1: you know, systemic weaknesses in the economy from Obama for
Speaker 1: his over spending and lack of blah blah, you know
Speaker 1: that would you'd be laughed out of the room. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: the economy is doing very well by all metrics, and
Speaker 1: there was even an important piece in the Wall Street Journal,
Speaker 1: I think it was yesterday talking about how wages, which
Speaker 1: have been stagnant for a long time, wages have actually
Speaker 1: gone up for working people. That's in real terms. You know,
Speaker 1: Americans have gotten a raise, working people have gotten not
Speaker 1: just not just the tax cut, this is real economic
Speaker 1: growth in and wages measuring that. So that doesn't nearly
Speaker 1: get enough attention. But here we are now being told that, oh,
Speaker 1: that the really good economy. You can't you can't thank
Speaker 1: Trump for that. That's here's Julian Castro making a case
Speaker 1: that I knew somebody would make, but I didn't think that. Well, no,
Speaker 1: I knew they'd do this, but it's hard to believe
Speaker 1: even when you're expecting it, that it's it's the Barack
Speaker 1: Obama economy. Folks, play clip one there are a lot
Speaker 1: of Americans right now that are hurting. The idea that
Speaker 1: America is doing just fine is wrong. Not only that
Speaker 1: this president always likes to take credit like he did this.
Speaker 1: We've now had about one hundred and five straight months
Speaker 1: of positive job growth, the longest streak in American history.
Speaker 1: Over eighty months of that was due to President Barack Obama.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Barack Obama. Thank you Barack Obama. You know,
Speaker 1: it's a really fun exercise when Democrats say this stuff.
Speaker 1: You say, what did Barack Obama do? The stimulus? No
Speaker 1: one thinks the stimulus really did any of this, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, no one really believes that the stimulus saved
Speaker 1: the economy, do they. That's different from the bank bailout.
Speaker 1: That's a different thing. They often get conflated together. Well,
Speaker 1: what did what did Barack Obama do? Emergency measures things
Speaker 1: like extending will they increase food stamps by I forget
Speaker 1: how I think it was. I don't want to say,
Speaker 1: maybe six or seven million people under Obama's time. They
Speaker 1: extended unemployment insurance. There were some things they did that
Speaker 1: were emergency measures. Measures as yours speak English, Buck, you're
Speaker 1: a radio host. But if you ask a liberal. They'll
Speaker 1: explain to you why this would still be Obama's economy.
Speaker 1: And then you say, you ask them, if it were
Speaker 1: a bad economy, would it still be Obama's economy. They never,
Speaker 1: It's like you've short circuit of the system. They never
Speaker 1: really can give you a real answer. Oh wait, wait,
Speaker 1: since we talked about de Blasio before and what a
Speaker 1: loon he is and how utterly and completely unlikable. Look,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be de Blasio is about to be my
Speaker 1: mayor again. Within the next thirty days, Deblasio will be
Speaker 1: the mayor of the city I live in, which is
Speaker 1: a hard thing to fathom. But here was de Blasio
Speaker 1: last I mean, he just I guess he figures he's
Speaker 1: got no chance of being president really, so why not
Speaker 1: just give speeches that shore up his social justice warrior credentials.
Speaker 1: He's got the unions in his pocket that he needs
Speaker 1: in New York, He's got the the political machinery of
Speaker 1: New York City backing him, So he's I guess he
Speaker 1: thinks he can get away with being crazy in at
Speaker 1: some level He's right. So here's the kind of stuff
Speaker 1: that Bill de Blasier furmly Zekaiser Varnvillehelm Barnville Halm was
Speaker 1: his name. Yeah, you remember guten Tag. Here he is
Speaker 1: play four. We can make change in this country. I
Speaker 1: know from personal experience it can be done. When I
Speaker 1: became the mayor of the nation's largest city, I set
Speaker 1: us on a path of bold change. They said it
Speaker 1: couldn't be done. But we gave precaide every child for free.
Speaker 1: We got rid of stop in frisk and we lowered crime.
Speaker 1: We raise the minimum wage of fifteen dollars an hour. Yes,
Speaker 1: it can be done. When I'm president, we will even
Speaker 1: up the score, and we will tax the hell out
Speaker 1: of the wealthy to make this a fairer country and
Speaker 1: to make sure it's a country that puts working people first. That,
Speaker 1: my friends, is the unvarnished, pure class warfare at the
Speaker 1: heart of the Democratic Party's message. We will tax the
Speaker 1: hell out of the wealthy. Who's the wealthy, by the way,
Speaker 1: but put that aside for a moment. We're going to
Speaker 1: tax the hell out of Americans so that other people
Speaker 1: who are leftists, who are Democrats supporters and voters, will
Speaker 1: feel better about their situation. That's making it a fairer country.
Speaker 1: This was a sentiment that Obama himself expressed at one point,
Speaker 1: even if it was going to hurt the economy, you
Speaker 1: got to raise taxes because it's the right thing to do,
Speaker 1: even out the score. Push somebody down a little bit,
Speaker 1: don't worry about pushing somebody else up. Don't worry about
Speaker 1: lifting everybody up. Push somebody else down. Who's got a
Speaker 1: too big it's gone a little things have gone a
Speaker 1: little too well for them. This is a dangerous political sentiment.
Speaker 1: It creates a tremendous well. It really feeds off of
Speaker 1: a tremendous resentment and creates more resentment. And this is
Speaker 1: not just a Blasio's approach. This is now a mainstream
Speaker 1: feeling in the Democratic Party. Despite all the billionaires, the
Speaker 1: Hollywood celebrities, the super rich lawyers, the super rich Wall
Speaker 1: Street guys who are Democrats, there's tons of them right
Speaker 1: there's you look at the biggest wealthiest names in the country,
Speaker 1: most of them are Democrats. The ones that come to mind.
Speaker 1: You look at the the Bloombergs and the Gates and
Speaker 1: the go down Steve I was gonna say, Steve Jobs,
Speaker 1: pardon me m, Amazon founder Bezos, Bezos, thank you. Look
Speaker 1: at all these big number. They're all they're all they're
Speaker 1: all Libs. But the millionaires and the billionaires, they're all Republicans,
Speaker 1: according to burn I, And this is just a this
Speaker 1: is a delusion. This is a story that liberals tell
Speaker 1: themselves at night as as a bedtime story, that all
Speaker 1: the bad rich people are Republicans somehow. Meanwhile, who who
Speaker 1: delivered Trump his electoral victory. It was predominantly white working
Speaker 1: class voters who had voted for Obama before. And just
Speaker 1: we're like, this isn't a good deal for us right
Speaker 1: now at this Democratic part, We're gonna do something else.
Speaker 1: We've got so much more. I've got to get into
Speaker 1: the immigration stuff, because you know that's very top of
Speaker 1: mine for me. We've just begun to scratch the surface
Speaker 1: of the crazy here, and then I've got some other
Speaker 1: stories to get to. The are not just debate related.
Speaker 1: The doj is saying that they will not prosecute Komey.
Speaker 1: That's up today. And then also a story that I
Speaker 1: want to walk you through on whether police shootings are
Speaker 1: in fact racist or not. We'll get to that. Stay
Speaker 1: with me. The important number and Vice President Biden's remarks
Speaker 1: us now is that the United States is only fifteen
Speaker 1: percent of global emissions. We like to act as if
Speaker 1: we're one hundred percent. But the truth is, even if
Speaker 1: we were to curb our emissions dramatically, garth is still
Speaker 1: going to get warmer, and we can see it around
Speaker 1: us this summer. The last four years have been the
Speaker 1: four warmest years in recorded history. This is going to
Speaker 1: be a tough truth. But we are too late. We
Speaker 1: are ten years too late. We need to do everything
Speaker 1: we can to start moving to climate in the right direction,
Speaker 1: but we also need to start moving our people to
Speaker 1: hire ground. And the best way to do that is
Speaker 1: to put economic resources into your hands so you can
Speaker 1: protect yourself and your families. What the heck is Yang
Speaker 1: talking about here? That is quite a quite a movie pulls.
Speaker 1: He goes from it's too late and we're only a portionate.
Speaker 1: So he's right about some things. He's Yang is smart
Speaker 1: enough to understand that no matter what we do, India, China,
Speaker 1: other developing other major developing economies, you know, Mexico, Brazil,
Speaker 1: big countries all over the world, they're not going to
Speaker 1: curb their emissions no matter what they tell us. They're
Speaker 1: not going to put artificial constraints on their growth in
Speaker 1: their economy. There's no way Chinese, please, you can care less.
Speaker 1: I was in Beijing a few months ago. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you they've got no problem with smog over there,
Speaker 1: lots of that getting pumped out of the smokestacks. So
Speaker 1: even if we listen to the Democrats, it's it's all
Speaker 1: for naught. But then he goes to the problem is
Speaker 1: he understands that truth and then he thinks that you
Speaker 1: start moving the higher ground. Like I've told you this before,
Speaker 1: I will change my tune on climate change the moment
Speaker 1: that somebody will sell me their beach front. I'm here
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, I'm taking I'll take any offers. Or rather, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess it'll be an offer. Somebody wants to sell
Speaker 1: me their beachfront Malibu property at at a fraction of
Speaker 1: the current market rate. I don't mean like, you know,
Speaker 1: a ten percent marked down, I mean like fifty I
Speaker 1: still couldn't afford it, but I'd cobble together the money
Speaker 1: from from investors, because if you sold it to me
Speaker 1: at fifty percent discount, you're crazy because the cs are
Speaker 1: not rising that much. This is not happening, folks, It's
Speaker 1: not happening. Yang understands that the people that are claiming
Speaker 1: we're gonna have some glorious war against climate change, they don't.
Speaker 1: Even even if we did, if we accept the world
Speaker 1: as they view it, even if we did exactly what
Speaker 1: they want us to do, it would not matter using
Speaker 1: their own numbers, logic and the parameters they've set up.
Speaker 1: This is how nonsensical the climate change catastrophists are. It
Speaker 1: won't make any difference. And yet here I am telling
Speaker 1: you this. Am I worried at all? No, I am
Speaker 1: not worried. It's all going to be fine. Mister Yang
Speaker 1: over here is trying to tell the Yang gang to
Speaker 1: go to higher ground. I do not think it is
Speaker 1: time to sell your home and head to the top
Speaker 1: of the rockies yet, folks, I think, although that might
Speaker 1: be kind of a nice view, I think we're all
Speaker 1: going to be just fine. Criminal justice, big criminal justice
Speaker 1: exchange that I want to get to with the Tulsi
Speaker 1: Gabbert and Kamala Harris. Did Tulsi kind of knock Kamala
Speaker 1: off the runner up establishment post last night? We'll get
Speaker 1: to that criminal justice flash last night on the Democrat
Speaker 1: debate stage. Very interesting stuff. So just by way a
Speaker 1: quick review. You remember, Kamala Harris seemed to show that
Speaker 1: the Biden candidacy was not inevitable because she took Biden
Speaker 1: down quite a bit with her I think unfair attacks
Speaker 1: on him for his position on bussing. But we've dealt
Speaker 1: with that already. On the show last night, there was
Speaker 1: a sense that there would be a showdown between Kamala
Speaker 1: and Biden again. But it turns out the real showdown. Well,
Speaker 1: everybody was trying to pile on Biden, but didn't. Really,
Speaker 1: they didn't. They weren't successful. Biden had a good night, folks.
Speaker 1: I'm just being honest. He had a good night. That
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that he's out of the woods, but he
Speaker 1: definitely held his turf. But Kamala and Tulsi tangled quite
Speaker 1: a bit. Here is Tulsie Gabbard who this was one
Speaker 1: of the most memorable. Look this is Democrat on democrat fighting, folks.
Speaker 1: What could be more entertaining. Here's Tulsi letting it be
Speaker 1: known that she does not agree with Kamala's previous approach
Speaker 1: as a state attorney in California. Play nine. Peter Harris
Speaker 1: says she's proud of her record as a prosecutor in
Speaker 1: cocuter president, but I'm deeply concerned about this record. There
Speaker 1: are too many examples to site. But she put over
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred people in jail for marijuana violations and then
Speaker 1: laughed about it when she was asked if she ever
Speaker 1: smoked marijuana, de block evidence that would have freed an
Speaker 1: innocent man from death row until the courts forced her
Speaker 1: to do so. She kept people in prison beyond their
Speaker 1: sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state
Speaker 1: of California, And she fought to keep fail system in
Speaker 1: place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way.
Speaker 1: When you were in a position to make a difference
Speaker 1: and an impact in these people's lives, you did not.
Speaker 1: And worse yet, in the case of those who were
Speaker 1: on death row, innocent people, you actually blocked evidence from
Speaker 1: being revealed that would have freed them until you were
Speaker 1: forced to do so. There is no excuse for that.
Speaker 1: And the people who suffered under your reign as prosecutor, oh,
Speaker 1: you owe them an apology. There is no excuse for that.
Speaker 1: Is that all true or all of those things that
Speaker 1: Tulsie Gabbard said about Kamala Harris true. I think we
Speaker 1: should know. I can tell you this Kamala from my
Speaker 1: sources in the Lib media, of which I have quite
Speaker 1: a few, she's the favorite. Now, we discussed how Jeff Zucker,
Speaker 1: who's giving orders to all the other commissars over at
Speaker 1: CNN on a regular basis. We discussed how Zucker had
Speaker 1: already come forward and presented Kamala as important for the
Speaker 1: entire country. So we know that there is an establishment
Speaker 1: desire to elevate Kamala, establishment liberal desire in the media
Speaker 1: and on the coast for sure. And if Biden falters,
Speaker 1: Kamala is supposed to take the spot, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: Booker would like to be. But nah, I don't see it.
Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't think Booker's I don't think
Speaker 1: he's got it. First of all, he complained last night.
Speaker 1: The two funniest complaints from last night of all were
Speaker 1: Corey Booker saying that this debate was pitting Democrats against
Speaker 1: each other. Yeah, dude, it's a debate among Democrats. Good call,
Speaker 1: Corey Booker. And then also a few different we don't
Speaker 1: I don't think we have a montage of it, had
Speaker 1: any but there are a few different times when Democrats
Speaker 1: who felt like they were a little corner, Well, it's
Speaker 1: a Republican talking point. Stop with the Republican talking points. Uh, well,
Speaker 1: shouldn't you If it is a Republican talking point, shouldn't
Speaker 1: you have the answer for it, because you're gonna face
Speaker 1: a Republican eventually. That shouldn't be a get out of
Speaker 1: jail free card. Oh, it's a Republican talking point. But
Speaker 1: you certainly heard a lot of that anyway. So Tulsi
Speaker 1: went after Kamala Harris and the est ablishment today. From
Speaker 1: what I understand, the liberal establishment is very upset about this.
Speaker 1: I've even seen something I'm trying to track some of
Speaker 1: this down, some some scuttle butt on Twitter about people saying, Okay,
Speaker 1: they're saying crazy stuff. They're going after Tulsea on the
Speaker 1: whole Assad thing. Basically they're trying to the liberal establishment
Speaker 1: does not like Tulsi Gabbert, which makes me like her
Speaker 1: a little bit more. That and I like the way
Speaker 1: she says Hawaii. I can't even really say it the
Speaker 1: way she's said Hawaii. You know, Hawaii. She says a
Speaker 1: little differently, like a like a native Hawaiian. I'm gonna stop,
Speaker 1: stop talking about all the great stuff about Tulsea Gabbert.
Speaker 1: So she went after Kamala Harris, and then Kamala got
Speaker 1: an opportunity to try to explain what had happened to
Speaker 1: her because she got I think she got kind of
Speaker 1: blindsided by the whole thing. She wasn't she didn't seem
Speaker 1: ready for it at all, and she didn't refute it.
Speaker 1: Those are serious charges, folks. Suppressed evidence of a person
Speaker 1: on death row. That's not a little thing. Send people
Speaker 1: to prison for marijuana when you're so if it's smokemurwana
Speaker 1: think it's kind of funny. And who cares? Used labor
Speaker 1: for the benefit of the state for people in prison,
Speaker 1: and kept them in prison longer to use that labor.
Speaker 1: I mean, these are those are real deal charges. That's
Speaker 1: not oh, you know you said this in a campaign
Speaker 1: ad fifteen years ago. That's a like who cares. For
Speaker 1: the most part, these are real decisions that are being
Speaker 1: called out that she made when she had she had
Speaker 1: power in the state of California. Here's how she tried
Speaker 1: to explain herself. Play clip ten. And this is going
Speaker 1: to sound immodest, but I'm obviously a top tier candidate,
Speaker 1: and so I did expect that I would be on
Speaker 1: the stage and take hits tonight, because there are a
Speaker 1: lot of people that are trying to make the stage
Speaker 1: for the next debate. For a lot of them, it's
Speaker 1: Stewart die Well. Yeah, and especially when people are at
Speaker 1: zero one percent or whatever she might be at. And
Speaker 1: so I did expect that I might take hits tonight,
Speaker 1: and yet didn't explain that away, didn't didn't manage to
Speaker 1: tell us all that she had an answer ready for
Speaker 1: all these different charges. I mean, I think I think
Speaker 1: we need answers on that stuff, or at least people
Speaker 1: that are going to be voting in democratic primaries don't.
Speaker 1: Don't they deserve an answer. So so she, you know,
Speaker 1: has the media in her corner. And this is what
Speaker 1: I meant by pay very close attention to who the
Speaker 1: journals won on their side, pay very close attention to
Speaker 1: who the journals are supporting, because even among Democrats, they
Speaker 1: have they have favorites among their children, so to speak.
Speaker 1: Democrat journals are picking different members of this of this
Speaker 1: race that they really want to see get all the
Speaker 1: way through. And so you need you need to remember
Speaker 1: that as they're giving you all this coverage but then
Speaker 1: you had Tulsi backstage. May this because she she gets
Speaker 1: attacked by them for this, uh, for the meeting she
Speaker 1: had with what was it again with a sad some
Speaker 1: years ago. Do we I don't think we have that clip?
Speaker 1: Darn it? Oh no, yes, on MSNBC, they went after her.
Speaker 1: This is what they tend to do. The only thing
Speaker 1: that you ever get to asked about by the mainstream
Speaker 1: press is Assad in Syria and this was no different.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. They don't they She's not part of
Speaker 1: their crew. The elite media doesn't like Tulsi play sixteen.
Speaker 1: So when sitting down with someone like Bashar al Assad
Speaker 1: in Syria, do you confront him directly and say, why
Speaker 1: do you order chemical attacks on your own people? Why
Speaker 1: do you cause the killings of over half a million
Speaker 1: people in your country? Look, you know, I want to
Speaker 1: break this down to it's really I want to break
Speaker 1: this down. So we're talking about here today because you're
Speaker 1: talking about a meeting that took place what three years ago? Well,
Speaker 1: every time I come back, no, every time I come
Speaker 1: back here on MSNBC, you guys talk to me about
Speaker 1: these issues. It sounds like these are talking points that
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris and her camps because she's refusing to address
Speaker 1: the questions. Of course, every anchor has a different perspective
Speaker 1: and different questions to ask. Asking for three years. This
Speaker 1: is where the propaganda comes in. Calling out propaganda on MSNBC. Man,
Speaker 1: I like it. I like this, like I like when
Speaker 1: my old friend and former colleague Crystal Ball called out
Speaker 1: MSNBC's Rachel Mattaw for all the false promises on Russia.
Speaker 1: Always give credit, words due, Always encourage those who are right,
Speaker 1: even if you think they're usually off on certain things.
Speaker 1: When they're right, they're right. And Tulsi going out for MSNMES.
Speaker 1: This is fun, folks. This is where we get to
Speaker 1: enjoy this Democrat friendly fire that's going on here quite
Speaker 1: a bit. And this was the best. This was the
Speaker 1: best stuff from last night. I think we didn't even
Speaker 1: get through half of I have so much more of
Speaker 1: the crazy to talk to you about, but we could
Speaker 1: spend all night doing that. You had someone like for example, Kirston.
Speaker 1: Kirsten Gillibrand is among my least favorite of all these
Speaker 1: Democrat candidates. I just think she's she's such a phony
Speaker 1: that she doesn't even really hide the phoniness like she's
Speaker 1: it's as though she figures, I'm a super phony who cares.
Speaker 1: Let's just see where I can take this thing. There's
Speaker 1: there's no shame about it whatsoever. She'll change whatever positions
Speaker 1: she has to change, say whatever she has to say.
Speaker 1: I mean, they asked about equal pay last night, and
Speaker 1: there's so many things that that came up in this debate,
Speaker 1: like what equal pay. As the Democrats talk about, it
Speaker 1: is a lie. It's a lie. It's a lie. It's
Speaker 1: been disproven a million times. It does not exist. Men
Speaker 1: and women make different choices when you actually control for hours, work,
Speaker 1: choices made risk in profession. All this this is otherwise,
Speaker 1: This is such basic economics. If you could pay somebody
Speaker 1: for the same work and get a thirty percent discount,
Speaker 1: most businesses their biggest expense is payroll. That's true for
Speaker 1: most businesses that payroll's their biggest single expense. If you
Speaker 1: could save thirty percent and a lot of margins, and
Speaker 1: businesses are you know, three, four or five percent in
Speaker 1: terms of profit margin. If you could save thirty percent
Speaker 1: in your workforce, who wouldn't only hire women? It's that straightforward.
Speaker 1: If this was what they say it is, which is
Speaker 1: they just pay women less because they pay them less
Speaker 1: for no reason other than sexism. Anybody with a brain
Speaker 1: would just say, why I'm I'm gonna have an entirely
Speaker 1: female workforce, like at the exact same work product for
Speaker 1: the exact same jobs and pay them seventy cents on
Speaker 1: the dollar. By the way, this is what they actually
Speaker 1: do with illegal aliens, which is they pay them less
Speaker 1: than than whatever the prevailing wajord be because they're often
Speaker 1: paying them off the books, not paying payroll taxes on them,
Speaker 1: not paying you know, this was more of an issue
Speaker 1: in the nineties, but it still goes on now, paying
Speaker 1: them in cash. So there was that going on here.
Speaker 1: Oh wait before, I just want a few more of
Speaker 1: the crazy stuff and then we'll get into this work.
Speaker 1: Oh no, Christian Jewila Brand jel Brand, here's the kind
Speaker 1: of stuff that she brings to the discussion. Play eleven.
Speaker 1: You are a co sponsor of the Green New Deal,
Speaker 1: which includes the guarantee of a job with medical leave,
Speaker 1: paid vacations, and retirement security for everyone in America. Explain
Speaker 1: how that's realistic. So the first thing that I'm going
Speaker 1: to do when I'm president is I'm going to clorox
Speaker 1: the Oval Office. The second thing I'm going to do
Speaker 1: is I will re engage on global climate change, re
Speaker 1: engage on globe. I mean, look the chlorox line that
Speaker 1: was prepared, and she was getting ready to give that
Speaker 1: for sure. But this is a woman who if you
Speaker 1: do a quick Google search, you'll find photos of her
Speaker 1: arm in arm with Bill Clinton, photos of her arm
Speaker 1: in arm with Harvey Weinstein, anybody that she has to
Speaker 1: kiss up to on her way up the ranks of power,
Speaker 1: She's willing to do that. And she's the one who
Speaker 1: threw al Franken under the bus, which I think is
Speaker 1: so interesting that now they're trying to rehabilitate Franken's image,
Speaker 1: which is not going to happen, but they're trying. And
Speaker 1: you see that Kirsten Jillibrand was the one that gave him.
Speaker 1: She was the one that really gave him the push
Speaker 1: that sent him over. And then on the Okay, so
Speaker 1: there's more. I'll do a little hold off on the crazy.
Speaker 1: There's a very important study that I want to talk
Speaker 1: to you about on because law enforcements a big That
Speaker 1: was the thing from last night that really upset me.
Speaker 1: The most the trashing of law enforcement, the undermining of cops,
Speaker 1: especially given some of the things we've seen. Really interesting
Speaker 1: study just published. Heather McDonald has written about it over
Speaker 1: National Review. And the longest short of it is that
Speaker 1: we've been told all this stuff about police shooting unarmed
Speaker 1: black men, and the narrative that does happen, It happens
Speaker 1: very infrequently. It is overwhelmingly not a function of racism
Speaker 1: or racial animists based on all the factors. You can
Speaker 1: look at the numbers. We will walk you through the
Speaker 1: latest study on this when we come back. Stay with me.
Speaker 1: Why are you the best candidate to hear the racial
Speaker 1: divide that exists in this country today, which has been
Speaker 1: stoked by the president's racist rhetoric. First of all, the
Speaker 1: president's racist rhetoric should be enough browns for everybody in
Speaker 1: this country to vote them out how office. First of all,
Speaker 1: the president is a racist, and that was just one
Speaker 1: more example of it. We can no longer allow a
Speaker 1: white nationalist to be in the White House. Are you
Speaker 1: suggesting that Republicans in Congress around the country are enabling racism? Absolutely,
Speaker 1: they're enabling all of the wrongdoing that this president has
Speaker 1: brought with them, from inaction on Russian interference to naked racism.
Speaker 1: Racism they say it so much, they accuse so many
Speaker 1: people of it. They love to say it about this president. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: the president has an agenda that is explicitly in many
Speaker 1: ways directed at helping minority communities. There's the first Step Back,
Speaker 1: which disproportionately helps African American and Latino incarcerated individuals. There's
Speaker 1: just the economic growth and the focus on trying to
Speaker 1: help people who are wage earners. But let's put all
Speaker 1: that aside for a second. There is a a clear
Speaker 1: thread of anti police ism that the Democratic Party has
Speaker 1: embraced once again. And it's the worst kind of pandering
Speaker 1: because it's deeply harmful. It erodes the trust that is
Speaker 1: needed between communities that are plagued by violence and their police,
Speaker 1: particularly local police. You'll notice, James Comey, the FBI liberals
Speaker 1: have been pretending for a while. Now they love the FBI.
Speaker 1: They love the intelligence community. I was in the intelligence
Speaker 1: community when they hated us because of Iraq and WMD.
Speaker 1: Now they love the intelligence community. How how could Trump
Speaker 1: ever not trust his intelligence community? Well, gee, I could
Speaker 1: think of about one hundred reasons off the top of
Speaker 1: my head. But local police, local law enforcement have been
Speaker 1: targeted by Democrats stretching back in the Obama administration, and
Speaker 1: it's one of the more shameful chapters of Obama's time
Speaker 1: as president, the way that he and his administration often
Speaker 1: spoke of, dealt with, and treated law enforcement. The Black
Speaker 1: Lives Matter movement was based on lies. Michael Brown's shooting,
Speaker 1: the FBI investor, the Department of Justice investigation of it.
Speaker 1: It didn't matter that it was all lies. Hands up,
Speaker 1: don't shoot was a lie. They didn't care, didn't change
Speaker 1: the araf didn't change the storyline. Well, now we have
Speaker 1: once again crime and police community relations getting more attention.
Speaker 1: I mentioned to you all that I was in Baltimore
Speaker 1: yesterday and there's no way around it. Baltimore is in
Speaker 1: some places a very very depressing, very unsafe and scary place,
Speaker 1: and it should not be what it is also, am I.
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure this is correct before
Speaker 1: I tell you. I saw linked I saw something today
Speaker 1: that said that here we go. CBS Baltimore Representative Elijah
Speaker 1: cummings Baltimore home was burglarized. Wow, you cannot make this up.
Speaker 1: Baltimore police are investigating after the home of Representative Elijah
Speaker 1: Cummings is broken into early Saturday morning. Burglary occurred around
Speaker 1: burglary occurred around three forty am at his Baltimore home. Wow.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump responded to tweeting about the Representative Elijah Cummings
Speaker 1: has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the
Speaker 1: great men and women of Borda Patrol about conditions at
Speaker 1: the southern border, when actually his Baltimore district is far
Speaker 1: worse and more dangerous. His district is considered the worst
Speaker 1: in the USA. Wow. So Cummings just got his house,
Speaker 1: just got burglarized. That's I'm sorry. But given the conversation
Speaker 1: about focusing on districts that have high crime rates and
Speaker 1: what has Elijah Cummings really done for his district, and
Speaker 1: those are those you can't make this stuff up, folks.
Speaker 1: You just got burglarized on Saturday. But there's more of
Speaker 1: a conversation now than there's been a while about police
Speaker 1: and policing as well, because, as I've mentioned to you
Speaker 1: last night, Democrats i think really debased themselves. I mean
Speaker 1: the way that they speak about law enforcement and people
Speaker 1: like Beto and Buddha judge and these just these smug
Speaker 1: elitist liberals who love through the whole. Oh, police are
Speaker 1: so terrible. Look at what they do and all these
Speaker 1: racist shootings. And you know, you know that if somebody
Speaker 1: trapes across Beto's very large front yard, I'm sure he'd,
Speaker 1: you know, he'd be very quick to call the cops. Right.
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys, there's such phonies on this issue,
Speaker 1: and it's so unfair what they say, and there's real consequences.
Speaker 1: I mentioned this study to you about police involved shootings
Speaker 1: and whether or not by the data, they're racist. You're
Speaker 1: gonna want to hear this. I'll give you the numbers
Speaker 1: when we come back. The team. Just want to give
Speaker 1: you a heads up. Welcome back to the Buck Section show.
Speaker 1: Ovic Roy is gonna be joining us in just a
Speaker 1: little bit here. We're gonna do a deep dive on
Speaker 1: all the healthcare stuff from last night. So I don't
Speaker 1: think that we've I know, I've been focusing on some
Speaker 1: other things, but all the healthcare stuff from last night,
Speaker 1: we'll do a deep dive in the third hour. I
Speaker 1: wanted Ovic to join on that because I think he
Speaker 1: always does a very good job He's very fair minded
Speaker 1: in his approach too. He's not just like it's all socialism.
Speaker 1: So if you really want to know what's going on
Speaker 1: with that, if you want to be smarter on the
Speaker 1: healthcare debate than any of your friends, which I'm sure
Speaker 1: you already are because you listen to this show, but
Speaker 1: nonetheless stay around for the third hour we'll be getting
Speaker 1: into that. I just thought this was a really powerful
Speaker 1: piece because it did. It did upset me last night,
Speaker 1: the anti cop stuff and the Democrats just shameless pandering
Speaker 1: acting like police of the problem when you know, we
Speaker 1: owe our police a debt of gratitude as a side
Speaker 1: for being as professional and decent and courageous as they are.
Speaker 1: But Heather McDonald, who's great, pulled this piece together. There
Speaker 1: is no epidemic of racist police shootings. Let me give
Speaker 1: you some of what she writes your National Review. The
Speaker 1: Democratic presidential candidates have revived the anti police rhetoric of
Speaker 1: the Obama years. Joe Biden's Criminal Justice Plan promises that
Speaker 1: after his policing reforms, black mothers and fathers will no
Speaker 1: longer have to fear when their children walk the streets
Speaker 1: of America. The threat allegedly coming from cops, not gangbangers.
Speaker 1: President Barack Obama likewise claimed during the memorial for five
Speaker 1: dollars police officers killed by a Black Lives Matter inspired
Speaker 1: assassin in July twenty sixteen that black parents were right
Speaker 1: to fear that their child could be killed by a
Speaker 1: police officer whenever he walks out the door. South Bend
Speaker 1: mayor Pete Buddha Judge has said that police shootings of
Speaker 1: black men won't be solved until we move policing out
Speaker 1: from the shadow of systemic racism. Beto Aurora claims that
Speaker 1: the police shoot blacks solely based on the color of
Speaker 1: their skin. So yes, there's a tremendous amount of really
Speaker 1: vicious anti police the cops are racist rhetoric. Well, there's
Speaker 1: a new study published in the Proceedings of the National
Speaker 1: Academy of Sciences looking at this. Here are some of
Speaker 1: the key findings contained in this study. Twenty fifteen Justice
Speaker 1: Department study that its sites found that black officers were
Speaker 1: sixty seven percent more likely than white officers to mistakenly
Speaker 1: shoot an unarmed black suspect. Hispanic officers were one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty five percent more likely than white officers to
Speaker 1: mistakenly shoot an unarmed black suspect. So looking at nine
Speaker 1: hundred and seventeen officer involved fatal shootings, folks, there aren't
Speaker 1: that many, you know's, that's pretty much all them, I
Speaker 1: think stretching back from twenty fifteen, you only have a
Speaker 1: couple one hundred a year, one hundred to one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty a year, I believe around around that level.
Speaker 1: Very interesting things from the study as well. Remember all
Speaker 1: the stuff you're hearing about black lives matter, and you know,
Speaker 1: I can't breathe, Derek Garner, hands up, don't shoot, all
Speaker 1: this rhetoric, all this storyline. You're told, how many people
Speaker 1: would know that fifty five percent of the people shot
Speaker 1: by fatally by law enforcement or white. So a majority
Speaker 1: of the people killed by cops are white. Start with that,
Speaker 1: twenty seven percent or black, nineteen percent were Hispanic. Between
Speaker 1: ninety and ninety five percent of the civilians shot since
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen were either attacking a police officer or attacking
Speaker 1: another citizen, so they were these were straight up defensive maneuvers,
Speaker 1: either defending law enforcement personally or defending somebody who was
Speaker 1: under assault from a person. So the number of shootings
Speaker 1: in which an officer kills somebody who's unarmed because they
Speaker 1: think that there's a cell phone, or they think it's
Speaker 1: a gum when it's really a cell phone. That's very
Speaker 1: rare statistically. There's more. In the twenty fifteen study, the
Speaker 1: white victims of fatal police shootings included a fifty year
Speaker 1: old suspect in a domestic assault in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, who
Speaker 1: ran at the officer with a spoon, a twenty eight
Speaker 1: year old driver in Des Moines, Iowa, who exited his
Speaker 1: car and walked quickly toward an officer after a car chase,
Speaker 1: and a twenty one year old suspect in a grocery
Speaker 1: store robbery in Akron, Ohio, who had escaped on a
Speaker 1: bike and who did not remove his waistband went order
Speaker 1: to do so, Heather Rights. Had any of these victims
Speaker 1: been black, the median activists would probably have jumped on
Speaker 1: their stories and out of their names the roster of
Speaker 1: victims of police racism. But because they are white, they
Speaker 1: are unknown. This entire Black Lives Matter movement of how cops,
Speaker 1: white cops are shooting black men. It's an epidemic. It's racist,
Speaker 1: it's happening, that's happening far too frequently all across the country,
Speaker 1: systemic race. It's just a lie, folks. The numbers don't
Speaker 1: bear it out. The reality of police officers across the
Speaker 1: country working their communities doesn't bear it out. It's just
Speaker 1: been a lie the whole thing. Neighborhoods have been burned
Speaker 1: down because of this lie. Barack Obama played a role
Speaker 1: in fanning these flames as president, and now you have
Speaker 1: Democrat candidates on that stage last night doing exactly the
Speaker 1: same thing, pandering and throwing law enforcement under the bus
Speaker 1: to do so. It's a disgrace. But there's so much
Speaker 1: from last night. The problem I had, and I knew
Speaker 1: this would be the case, the problem I had coming
Speaker 1: onto the show today was there was so much crazy.
Speaker 1: They said so many things that were just I mean,
Speaker 1: indefensibly either dishonest or stupid or both that I knew
Speaker 1: we wouldn't even have full time to go through it all.
Speaker 1: And they had Castro talking about decriminalizing the decriminalizing border crossings.
Speaker 1: What do they think that's gonna do. You can come
Speaker 1: into the country and it's a civil it's a civil offense.
Speaker 1: Now these people have no money, folks. So so does
Speaker 1: anyone really think that they're coming across the border they're
Speaker 1: gonna write some huge check as a No, of course not.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a civil offense, which means that maybe
Speaker 1: they'll be a fine attachment, which means that a judge,
Speaker 1: an immigration judge, will wave it and say, these people
Speaker 1: are fleeing poverty and they have no money, and even
Speaker 1: though a lot of them have paid thousands and thousands
Speaker 1: of dollars to coyotes, to cartel smuggling organizations, they're not
Speaker 1: gonna They're not gonna be held to account. This is
Speaker 1: open borders straight up. Castro called it a right wing
Speaker 1: talking point. This is this is where we're heading. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's there's so much from last night that I would
Speaker 1: I mean, we could, we could even talk about Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's supposed to be the moderate here and
Speaker 1: he talked I'm sorry. This might have been the angle
Speaker 1: craziest thing from last night. They want to get rid
Speaker 1: of fossil fuels. They want to eliminate fossil fuel usage.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is so outlandish To really do this
Speaker 1: would bring our economy to a screeching halt. Okay, this
Speaker 1: is absolutely nuts. And just for example, Joe Biden is
Speaker 1: supposed to be the model you're talking about how they
Speaker 1: want to he wants to eliminate coal playclip seven. Thank you,
Speaker 1: mister Rice. President. Just to clarify, would there be any
Speaker 1: place for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking in a
Speaker 1: Biden administration, No, would, We would work it out. We
Speaker 1: would make sure it's eliminated, and no more subsidies for
Speaker 1: either one of those, either any fossil fuel, any fossil fuel,
Speaker 1: not just call any fossil fuel. We're going to eliminate
Speaker 1: it under his presidency. This is the sort of thing
Speaker 1: that you could only say if you think you're speaking
Speaker 1: to a room full of more runs or you don't
Speaker 1: know anything. The economy could not function period without fossil
Speaker 1: fuels right now, full stop, never mind, I mean, we're
Speaker 1: gonna do this to ourselves. Why the rest of the
Speaker 1: world's not gonna stop using fossil fuels. Look at the
Speaker 1: percentage of how much we get that's that's truly renewable
Speaker 1: energy for a current needs. You're gonna try to transition
Speaker 1: out of this. This is this is MAO great leap
Speaker 1: forward level folly. This is completely bonkers. You know, Mao
Speaker 1: had an idea, Yeah, we're gonna industrialize, and you know what,
Speaker 1: they did manage to industrialize, But they also managed to
Speaker 1: start forty to sixty million people to death. But they
Speaker 1: did manage to industrialize shutting off fossil fuels. By the way,
Speaker 1: here's Joe Biden in twenty twelve on fossil fuels play eight. Look,
Speaker 1: it's all of the above for us. We desperately need coal,
Speaker 1: and we needed to get cleaner and cleaner. We desperately
Speaker 1: need all the source of energy. We desperately need fossil fuels,
Speaker 1: or we need to eliminate them somehow. Over the span
Speaker 1: of seven years, we've gone from we desperately need fossil
Speaker 1: fuels to oh my gosh, we gotta get rid of
Speaker 1: all of them right away. These are unserious people making
Speaker 1: unserious points to an audience and a voting block that
Speaker 1: really just needs to read a book, and not a
Speaker 1: Harry Potter book, like read a book that will teach
Speaker 1: them things. I guess we'll I got some deep state
Speaker 1: news I want to get to with you as well.
Speaker 1: And then there's the voting machine stuff. The Democrats are
Speaker 1: calling him Moscow Mitch still because he doesn't want to
Speaker 1: spend eight hundred million dollars on voting as if that's
Speaker 1: gonna I guess, so much more show to do. Gosh,
Speaker 1: the show is flying by today. I guess when I'm
Speaker 1: in La the weather here rejuvenates me. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: So if there was an abuse of the FISA process,
Speaker 1: if there was a misleading of the court by the
Speaker 1: FBI director, that is a monumental crime, and I would
Speaker 1: focus on that. If that's what happened. The whole idea
Speaker 1: that you can take something that is marked secret, no foreign,
Speaker 1: and they just decide on your own to take that
Speaker 1: out of a skiff, so out of a controlled area,
Speaker 1: not handled properly, and take to someone's house or a
Speaker 1: university or wherever these memos went to. You just can't
Speaker 1: do that. If you purposely take a document, it is
Speaker 1: one thing if you accidentally walked out with it, But
Speaker 1: to walk out with something that is clearly marked secret,
Speaker 1: no foreign, I don't see. I mean, there's been people
Speaker 1: who have been busted for way less than that, I
Speaker 1: will tell you for sure. I mean, you know, rank
Speaker 1: and file military intelligence people would never get away with
Speaker 1: what mister Komy so far as getting away with story
Speaker 1: out today, the Department of Justice will not prosecute James
Speaker 1: Coomy or leaking memos after the I ferrel, folks. One
Speaker 1: of my jobs I think here is as somebody who
Speaker 1: is familiar with the the flabby folds of the federal bureaucracy,
Speaker 1: is to tell you, don't expect there to be real accountability.
Speaker 1: Don't expect there to be a cavalry of truth and
Speaker 1: justice to arrive just in the nick of time to
Speaker 1: hold these deep state operatives accountable for the abuse of
Speaker 1: power for their partisan games. Nope, probably not going to happen.
Speaker 1: James Comey has shown us all who he is. And
Speaker 1: it's a reminder never to listen to the media when
Speaker 1: they tell you that somebody who works for the government
Speaker 1: is just on the up and up, couldn't be more trustworthy.
Speaker 1: Anybody who has any questions about this person shouldn't be trusted.
Speaker 1: Shouldn't have trusted James Comy. Mothery saying that he is
Speaker 1: not going to be prosecutive, even though he removed memo
Speaker 1: and then leaked them, and the memos were later on
Speaker 1: marked confidential. They're destroying the whole classification process. Here by
Speaker 1: bailing out these very senior, elite government officials, they're destroying it.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's basically a joke now, because all you
Speaker 1: have to do is make sure there's no markings on
Speaker 1: whatever you're taking, and then it doesn't matter anymore. It's
Speaker 1: not about the information, Right, Hillary, it wasn't mark classified,
Speaker 1: so she got off. Comey, it wasn't mark classified, but
Speaker 1: it was classified, but he gets off. Comey's story here
Speaker 1: is that private discussions that he had in the Oval
Speaker 1: office as the FBI director about FBI business with the
Speaker 1: President of United States is not classified. That's an unserious position.
Speaker 1: Of course it's classified. I used to work with classified
Speaker 1: information all the time. I would have always assumed that
Speaker 1: those discussions would have been considered classified. But nope, they're
Speaker 1: gonna let come off without any prosecution. The really tough
Speaker 1: one is going to be, how do they let McCabe
Speaker 1: off with that prosecution? You know what I'm telling you, right,
Speaker 1: I think they were going to remember McCabe was acting
Speaker 1: FBI director, allied numerous times under oath the Inspector General,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna say that they're exercising prosecutorial discretion, blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. Similar cases when they viewed them, seem like
Speaker 1: maybe and they're just gonna this is the justice, small et, folks.
Speaker 1: If the people in charge of administering justice don't really
Speaker 1: care about justice, nothing else matters. They can always find
Speaker 1: a way to let somebody go. They can always find
Speaker 1: an excuse to not bring charges, to not prosecute. So
Speaker 1: Comey's gonna skate. He's gonna skate. I think I think
Speaker 1: McCabe's gonna skate too. And what we're gonna find out
Speaker 1: is that there were omissions, and they were they were
Speaker 1: clear falsehoods that were given to the FISA court to
Speaker 1: get all this surveillance stuff going. And then also there
Speaker 1: were lies to the public about when the Papadopolis investigation
Speaker 1: really began and who was involved in it. I've told
Speaker 1: people back in twenty twelve that right after Obamba was elected,
Speaker 1: I said, you can forget about any any real justice
Speaker 1: for what happened in Benghazi, at least in terms of
Speaker 1: accountability for the people that left our men behind. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you right now that the Inspector General report Hordes
Speaker 1: and all this, and I know no one say I
Speaker 1: should be saying, oh that a deep state accountabilities coming
Speaker 1: for the deep state, or it's gonna happen. And you know,
Speaker 1: we've got a newness auto, we've got an inspector general,
Speaker 1: we've got all these A lot of other radio hosts
Speaker 1: can do that. I'm here to tell you that we
Speaker 1: will find out more information that I hope will affect
Speaker 1: some people's perceptions and the electorate in time for next
Speaker 1: falls reelection, hopefully re election of Trump. But I do
Speaker 1: not believe that the the corridors of power will hold
Speaker 1: their own responsible in any meaningful way. I really don't.
Speaker 1: I wish I could say otherwise. Comy's gonna skate, mcabe's
Speaker 1: gonna skate, Brennan's gonna skate. None of them. None of
Speaker 1: them will face any charges for anything that they did.
Speaker 1: And in the case of McKay, that's just flat. That's
Speaker 1: like Bill Clinton lying under oath and people just saying, yeah, whatever,
Speaker 1: broke the law. But as we see with immigration too,
Speaker 1: and all the law, all the laws that are told
Speaker 1: that the southern border by people coming into the country,
Speaker 1: all the laws that are broken, Democrats think the law
Speaker 1: is just a suggestion. They're willing to put it aside
Speaker 1: whenever it suits their fancy. One more thing here that
Speaker 1: we've got to Ovikna join in a few minutes to
Speaker 1: talk about all the healthcare stuff from last night. I
Speaker 1: really wanted to pack that into one part of the show.
Speaker 1: But just this Moscow Mitch stuff is such a disgrace.
Speaker 1: Here's what's really going on, folks. The Democrats tried to
Speaker 1: try to dram through using unanimous consent procedure, which is
Speaker 1: supposed to be for like, hey, can we take a
Speaker 1: bathroom break today at two o'clock? Okay, everyone, the Senate's
Speaker 1: cool with that. Unanimous consent is like naming of a
Speaker 1: post office. It's not stuff that is ever real. They
Speaker 1: tried to ram through an eight hundred million dollar, eight
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars package on election security, and they're claiming
Speaker 1: that because Mitch McConnell won't let them just do this
Speaker 1: by unanimous consent without having any normal Senate procedure, that
Speaker 1: he's Moscow Mitch and he's doing Moscow's bidding. These people
Speaker 1: are shameless, and the residence that this has within the media,
Speaker 1: the magnifying effect that the media is giving this is
Speaker 1: just despicable. But remember anything Russia related they want to
Speaker 1: talk about. They want to make anything Russia a headline
Speaker 1: they want to put in the new cycle because ultimately
Speaker 1: they're still obsessed with this idea that Russia gave Trump
Speaker 1: the last election. And I've been telling you this. They're
Speaker 1: going to claim if Trump wins that Russia helped him again.
Speaker 1: Why why wouldn't they They think they're calling Mitch McConnell,
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell from Kentucky. They're calling him Moscow Mitch. These
Speaker 1: people are lunatics. So this election security thing has nothing
Speaker 1: to do with election security. It's just all a media
Speaker 1: narrative that's being pushed by the Democrats and it's all garbage.
Speaker 1: But let's talk healthcare, folks, single most important issue according
Speaker 1: to the polls. Where are the Democrats on that? Ovic Roy,
Speaker 1: the expert, You're gonna join us at the moment. Not
Speaker 1: a privilege. I believe that I will fight for that.
Speaker 1: Tens of millions of people who lose their health insurance
Speaker 1: every single year when they change jobs, when their employer
Speaker 1: changes that insurance. If you want stability in the healthcare system,
Speaker 1: if you want a system which gives you freedom of
Speaker 1: choice with regard to doctor or hospital, which is a
Speaker 1: system which will not bankrupt you. The answer is to
Speaker 1: get rid of the profiteering of the drug companies and
Speaker 1: the insurance companies are most to Medicare. Language All right, teams,
Speaker 1: So we have a healthcare expert friend of the show
Speaker 1: joining us. Now, the one and only Ovic roy is
Speaker 1: in the house, or technically on the line. He is
Speaker 1: from Well. He's the president of the Foundation for Research
Speaker 1: on Equal Opportunity. He knows healthcare backwards and forwards. Mister
Speaker 1: olc Royd, good to have you back, sir, Hey Buck,
Speaker 1: how's it going. That's good man. So let's let's just
Speaker 1: get to this. What is this Who has the single
Speaker 1: craziest plan of the Democrats of these last two debates
Speaker 1: this week? Whose plan is that is the most fatally flawed?
Speaker 1: Or is that even a distinction that's possible to make? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is a distinction you can make. And the champ
Speaker 1: has to be burning. I mean, Bernie's plan is totally insane,
Speaker 1: totally unworkable, would be complete chaos for the healthcare system.
Speaker 1: Why tell me why, I really want because Libs freak out,
Speaker 1: they say, oh Sweden does it. Why is Bernie's plan
Speaker 1: a disaster? Well, it all comes down to the fact
Speaker 1: that what there are a lot of things wrong with
Speaker 1: the US healthcare system, a lot of things we need
Speaker 1: to improve. Healthcare is too expensive, all that. But what
Speaker 1: Bernie's plan would do is basically make it last e
Speaker 1: private health insurance. So there's about, depending on how you counted,
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty million Americans with private health insurance
Speaker 1: of about total of three hundred and thirty people who
Speaker 1: live here. So you basically take all of their health
Speaker 1: insurance and make it illegal and replace it with something
Speaker 1: that Bernie promises is better. Now, you know, whether whatever
Speaker 1: you think of Bernie's ability to make promises like that,
Speaker 1: the fact is you're asking one hundred eighty million Americans
Speaker 1: to take a pretty huge risk with their healthcare. And
Speaker 1: that is and that's aside from the fact that the
Speaker 1: plan would cost thirty two trillion with a t trillion
Speaker 1: dollars over ten years. Now, just to put that in context,
Speaker 1: buck Obamacare, which which some people talked about as the
Speaker 1: government take over the healthcare system, Obamacare only increased federal
Speaker 1: spending by two trillion dollars over ten years. Bernie's plan
Speaker 1: increases federal spending by thirty two trillion dollars over ten years.
Speaker 1: So that tells you the scale a Bernie's Plan is
Speaker 1: fifteen times or sixteen times bigger than Obamacare and its
Speaker 1: ambition and its reach to effectively abolish the role of
Speaker 1: the private sector and health insurre Now he says that
Speaker 1: there will be a savings of I think it was
Speaker 1: five hundred billion dollars just from the the elimination of
Speaker 1: health insurance companies and their big, fat, bloated profits. What
Speaker 1: can you tell us about that? Well, the truth of
Speaker 1: you know, the the insurance companies, because my personal experience
Speaker 1: is that where you get really where you get really
Speaker 1: dinged badly in healthcare is hospitals and sometimes in medicine pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 1: But obviously people have bad stories about their health insurers
Speaker 1: in the past. How much can you actually say from
Speaker 1: doing that and how bad are the big, bad profit
Speaker 1: seeking health insurers in this whole process. Well, Gerald Ford
Speaker 1: once said, you know, if you think healthcare is expensive,
Speaker 1: now wait until it's free. I mean, the way the
Speaker 1: way to think about Bernie's Plan, it's kind of like
Speaker 1: me at an open bar versus a cash bar. If
Speaker 1: I'm at a cash bar and I'm paying for every
Speaker 1: drink I order. You know, I'm gonna be I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be mindful of what I'm paying. You know, i might
Speaker 1: order the bud light instead of a single Malts Catch
Speaker 1: or whatever. And I'm certainly not gonna have five drinks
Speaker 1: unless I'm really depressed or something. But an open bar,
Speaker 1: you know, all bets are off. I can do whatever, right,
Speaker 1: And that's Bernie's healthcare plan. Bernie's healthcare plans, the thirty
Speaker 1: two trillion dollar open bar where you can consume not
Speaker 1: only the healthcare that you might actually genuinely need, but
Speaker 1: a lot of things you might not. But because you're
Speaker 1: not paying for it, you're like, what the hell? Why not?
Speaker 1: You know it's free, and not only that, the hospitals
Speaker 1: and the drug companies and everyone else. Bay Well, now
Speaker 1: that the tax payer is paying for all this, let's
Speaker 1: raise our prices because the actual patient doesn't care what
Speaker 1: it costs because it's free to him. So if we
Speaker 1: pay if we charge the patient twenty thousand bucks instead
Speaker 1: of two hundred bucks for the same service, he's not
Speaker 1: going to care. He's not paying for it. The taxpayers
Speaker 1: are paying for it. And that's how you get to
Speaker 1: a system that's completely unaffordable. Now, there are ways to
Speaker 1: tackle that problem. You could have price controls, you could
Speaker 1: ration access to expensive care, you could do a lot
Speaker 1: of things from in a government run system to try
Speaker 1: to counter that open bar mentality. But Bernie's plan doesn't
Speaker 1: do that. Bernie's plan is simply everything should be free
Speaker 1: to the patient, and we'll talk about how to control
Speaker 1: costs later. And so it's much just it's much more.
Speaker 1: There's much greater largess from the government in Bernie's plan
Speaker 1: than even there is in Medicare. He keeps saying Medicare
Speaker 1: for all, But Medicare has call sharing. Medicare is states
Speaker 1: kicking and money. Individuals have to pay parts if it
Speaker 1: doesn't cover everything. So what Bernie's talking about is even
Speaker 1: a level beyond Medicare. Yeah, I mean, this is one
Speaker 1: of the real dishonesties in the Bernie plan. It's not
Speaker 1: actually Medicare. What you know, he uses Medicare for all
Speaker 1: because he knows that Medicare is popular and that people
Speaker 1: understand what Medicare is. But Bernie's plan is not Medicare.
Speaker 1: As you said, Medicare has premiums, Medicare has copaid, Medicare
Speaker 1: has deductibles, Medicare has private health insurance. More than a
Speaker 1: third of the people on Medicare have private health plans.
Speaker 1: And by the way, the number of people with traditional
Speaker 1: single payer Medicare is actually declining, while the number of
Speaker 1: people with private Medicare private health insurance Medicare is exploding
Speaker 1: because the private plans are doing a better job of
Speaker 1: delivering the Medicare benefit in a cost effective way. So
Speaker 1: Bernie's plan wouldn't just abolish employer based coverage or other
Speaker 1: forms of private insurance. It would also abolish the private
Speaker 1: insurance that is the increasingly the most popular part of
Speaker 1: Medicare itself. So, you know, so there's all sorts of
Speaker 1: problems with Bernie's plan. But you know, I don't want
Speaker 1: to get too fixated on Bernie's plan in this sense,
Speaker 1: but for the time that we have, because there's a
Speaker 1: kind of a secret a trick going on here, which
Speaker 1: is now the public option. The public option which was
Speaker 1: too radical for Obamacare. You couldn't get sixty Democrats in
Speaker 1: the Senate to support the public option because it was
Speaker 1: two left wing. Now the moderate Democrats, the responsible, prudent,
Speaker 1: pragmatic Democrats, are the one supporting a public option, and
Speaker 1: so all the fire, all the incoming is being drawn
Speaker 1: by the Bernie plan, and that's making a lot of
Speaker 1: these more these other plans that are more incremental in
Speaker 1: advanceding government control healthcare system seem reasonable by comparison. And
Speaker 1: by the way, well, what is the difference forever were
Speaker 1: listening between between the Medicare for all plan and having
Speaker 1: a public option? Yeah, great question. So a public option
Speaker 1: basically says that there's going to be a Medicare like
Speaker 1: option for people with private insurance. Now, so let's say
Speaker 1: you can get insurance from your employer today. The value
Speaker 1: of that insurance is deducted from your paycheck before you
Speaker 1: get it pre tax Medicare. If it's a Medicare like plan,
Speaker 1: could be structured so that it's cheaper to you and
Speaker 1: to the government than your employer based coverage. The idea
Speaker 1: would be there would be an option. You could have
Speaker 1: an optional government run healthcare plan, but you wouldn't be
Speaker 1: forced to choose it. You could keep your private health
Speaker 1: insurance if you want, but there would be a government
Speaker 1: run plan that would effectively compete with your private health insurance.
Speaker 1: Whether in the individual market where you buy insurance on
Speaker 1: your own or the employer based market. So that's something
Speaker 1: that is more pragmatic, is not insane in the in
Speaker 1: the way that Bernie's plan is. It theoretically could uh,
Speaker 1: you know work in the sense of it wouldn't be
Speaker 1: dramatically disruptive to the existing system, but it would represent
Speaker 1: an incremental increase in the role of government control of
Speaker 1: the health insurance system. Now would would employers be tempted
Speaker 1: then to say, well, we're not going to give our
Speaker 1: employees health insurance and just go get yourself the public option, folks?
Speaker 1: So might be some might be particularly I think smaller
Speaker 1: businesses or startups or you know, entrepreneurial companies that don't
Speaker 1: want to take on that responsibility. I think the big
Speaker 1: fortune five hundred type companies will still offer an employer
Speaker 1: based coverage because they see it as a retention tool
Speaker 1: and they've got the money floating around in their in
Speaker 1: their income statements to be able to do that. But
Speaker 1: I think a lot of smaller companies would say, you
Speaker 1: know what, health insurance is too expensive, it's too volatile
Speaker 1: as an expense for us. Let's just let the government
Speaker 1: do it. And that's what I mean when I say
Speaker 1: it's incremental, less disruptive, more gradual. But the end result
Speaker 1: is more people on government run health insurance. And let
Speaker 1: me ask you, I mean, is that the you know,
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris kind of has this ten year transition plan
Speaker 1: that she sounds like she's one foot in, one foot
Speaker 1: out of medicare for all. You know, are there any
Speaker 1: Democrats that are in that top tier or five, you
Speaker 1: know for put aside, actually some of the same ones,
Speaker 1: like Delaney and some of the others that can do maths.
Speaker 1: Are any of the top five or six contenders coming
Speaker 1: up with plans that worry you because they sound really
Speaker 1: are they sound realistic enough that they could actually sell
Speaker 1: this to the public and make it happen. Joe Biden, So,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is basically that's his plan. His plan is
Speaker 1: build on the Affordable Care Act Obamacare, introduce a public option,
Speaker 1: but otherwise be modestly, you know, don't don't be super disruptive,
Speaker 1: only only make incremental changes. And that's what I mean
Speaker 1: when I say, like all the you know, you watch
Speaker 1: Fox News every day, it's all about socialism, it's all
Speaker 1: about single parent it's all about Bernie and Look, Bernie's
Speaker 1: plan is totally crazy. So I understand that it kind
Speaker 1: of triggers us to talk about Bernie's plan. But at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, if all we're doing is
Speaker 1: complaining about bernie Care and we're ignoring the smarter and
Speaker 1: more prudent Democrats that are talking about gradually expanding government
Speaker 1: control of the health insurance system, we're making a strategic mistake.
Speaker 1: Roy he is the president of the Foundation for Research
Speaker 1: on Equal Opportunity. OVI, can you stick around for a second. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, guys, we're back here with Ovic Roy. He's
Speaker 1: the president for Research on Equal at the Foundation for
Speaker 1: Research on Equal Opportunity. All right, so you're just almost
Speaker 1: before and I wanted to get a little deeper into
Speaker 1: this that you have Joe Biden who's got this incremental
Speaker 1: plan with that that institutes a public option, it builds
Speaker 1: on Obamacare. I mean, just one thing for context here,
Speaker 1: isn't Obamacare really just a shell of what the law
Speaker 1: was supposed to be the first time around? I mean,
Speaker 1: weren't they initially gonna affect the overall healthcare market, but
Speaker 1: then they just kind of went down to the individual market.
Speaker 1: I mean, before we get to the Biden and the
Speaker 1: public option. How much of Obamacare has even really been enacted, Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly most of it. There's some key changes, right,
Speaker 1: So the repeal of the individual mandate is an important change,
Speaker 1: and there's some other tweaks here and there. But the
Speaker 1: fact is, you know, it's a two thousand page bill,
Speaker 1: nineteen hundred and ninety of those pages they're still the
Speaker 1: log lands. So most of Obamacare is still is still
Speaker 1: active and still out there. It's just a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of wonky stuff that maybe doesn't get as
Speaker 1: much coverage in the mainstream media. And so it really
Speaker 1: did mostly affect the individual market, right mostly mostly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean they're also remember that the so basically the
Speaker 1: way Obamacare works, it affects the individual market to your point,
Speaker 1: people who buy health and charts on their own, who
Speaker 1: don't get it from their employer. It also massively expands
Speaker 1: and medicaid, so that really affects state budgets in particular,
Speaker 1: biggest states are having to take on these massive liabilities
Speaker 1: of expanding their medicaid programs. It increased taxes by one
Speaker 1: point two trillion dollars. All those tax increases pretty much
Speaker 1: are all the books. So there's a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: in Obamacare. And it also did apply some regulations, new
Speaker 1: regulations to the employer based markets that weren't there before.
Speaker 1: So it did affect pretty much everybody in one way
Speaker 1: or another. But you're right that the most dramatic change,
Speaker 1: excuse me, changes work to people who bought insurance by
Speaker 1: insurance on the run. And those changes are by and
Speaker 1: large style in the books, except for the repeal of
Speaker 1: the individual mandate. So Joe Biden is the leading Canada.
Speaker 1: Now if the Democrats by all the polls, a lot
Speaker 1: of people say that he's just going to have to
Speaker 1: just ride this out and he'll be the front runner,
Speaker 1: he'll be the nominee. If he did become the president
Speaker 1: and the public option, let's just say that Congress was
Speaker 1: able to do this, became Democrat majority, etc. If the
Speaker 1: public option becomes a law of the land, how does
Speaker 1: the public option go bad? Well, they're actually, you know,
Speaker 1: there's an optimistic case and a pessimistic case for how
Speaker 1: the public option would work. We've talked about the pessimistic case,
Speaker 1: which is that the public option would gradually increase its
Speaker 1: market share because it involves price controls and other regulations
Speaker 1: that stack the deck in its favor. There's an optimistic case, though,
Speaker 1: and that is to point to what I just described
Speaker 1: in the last segment about Medicare advantage. In the Medicare program,
Speaker 1: if you're over sixty five today, you have a choice
Speaker 1: between the traditional Medicare program, which is a single payer,
Speaker 1: government run program, you could call it a public option
Speaker 1: even and the private health insurance plan that you can
Speaker 1: buy through Medicare advantage. And over time, the Medicare advantage plans,
Speaker 1: the private plans have successfully competed against the public option
Speaker 1: in Medicare and are basically gaining a market share every day.
Speaker 1: So it's possible that even if there's a public option
Speaker 1: in the rest of the health insurance market, that the
Speaker 1: private plans adapt to that and actually do a better
Speaker 1: job of competing against the price. So there is a
Speaker 1: case you made that the public option might actually not
Speaker 1: be a disaster, is what you're telling me. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: am no, I mean, it's not necessarily a disaster, but
Speaker 1: it definitely is an expansion of the role of government
Speaker 1: in the private health insurance market. Well more for you,
Speaker 1: vic Why you know, when you come up against a
Speaker 1: lot of very committed liberals. People on the left, though,
Speaker 1: they'll just say to you, you know, every other you know,
Speaker 1: this is actually a Bernie Sanders line. Every other developed
Speaker 1: country the world has figured this out and we haven't.
Speaker 1: What is your answer that, I mean, why why can't
Speaker 1: we be Sweden when it comes to healthcare? Well, broadly speaking,
Speaker 1: I agree with Bernie Sanders on that we are the
Speaker 1: wealthiest country in the world. We actually spend more on
Speaker 1: government healthcare in America for capita than most of those
Speaker 1: other countries, including Sweden, and we don't have everyone with
Speaker 1: health insurance. And that's because for seventy five years, decisions
Speaker 1: that in particular Congress has made that have driven the
Speaker 1: cost of healthcare out of control, have made it impossible
Speaker 1: for any from tens of millions of Americans are ford
Speaker 1: health insurance. So this is a problem is that, you know,
Speaker 1: it's not We don't have a free market, capitalist healthcare
Speaker 1: system today. This is where Bernie is wrong. Bernie's argument
Speaker 1: is that the reason that thirty million people are uninsured
Speaker 1: in Americas because of capitalists. No, the reason why thirty
Speaker 1: million people are uninsured in America and why eighty million
Speaker 1: more struggled afford their health insurance premiums every month is
Speaker 1: not because of capitalism. It's because of federal intervention in
Speaker 1: health insurance market that have distored them so beyond recognition
Speaker 1: that nobody can that so many people can't afford their
Speaker 1: health insurance, so we need to reform that. I think
Speaker 1: conservatives make a mistake when they say, you know, the
Speaker 1: current system is a free market, and we're against everybody
Speaker 1: having health insurance, because that's obviously social. No, there are
Speaker 1: countries out there. Switzerland is an example. Singapore is another
Speaker 1: that have more market oriented systems than the US has,
Speaker 1: and they cover everybody because health insurance in those countries
Speaker 1: is cheaper because they didn't us up their health insurance markets.
Speaker 1: The way, we have a look at that, so we
Speaker 1: can we can be sweetens what you're telling it. We'd
Speaker 1: have to pay much higher taxes. No, actually, actually there
Speaker 1: is a way, And you know my thing tank, the
Speaker 1: Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, we've put out a
Speaker 1: plan called Affordable Healthcare for Every Generation. You can find
Speaker 1: it on our website which is freeopt dot org, Free
Speaker 1: opp dot org. That outline exactly actually in a lot
Speaker 1: of detail, not just an outline, but in deep detail
Speaker 1: how you could take the gammission of the healthcare system
Speaker 1: we have and reform it in a way in which
Speaker 1: is entirely about private health insurance and private choice is
Speaker 1: an individual choice and market. But where everybody in America
Speaker 1: could afford a health insurance plan and have health insurance
Speaker 1: and no one would risk going bankrupt because of medical bills,
Speaker 1: you can do that. So this is this is the
Speaker 1: key thing. Republicans and conservatives should not concede to the
Speaker 1: left that the only way to achieve universal health insurance
Speaker 1: is to have a government brunt us. And we would
Speaker 1: never say that about cell phone. We'd never say you
Speaker 1: have to have a government plan for every American to
Speaker 1: have a smart phone. We would never say you need
Speaker 1: there needs to be a government plan so every American
Speaker 1: that can have a laptop. So why is it that
Speaker 1: we've accepted the arguments the only way for every American
Speaker 1: and health insurance is through government. Capitalism, free markets, innovation.
Speaker 1: Those are the things that make healthcare less expensive, just
Speaker 1: the way they make everything else in our lives less expensive. Oh,
Speaker 1: vic Roy, everybody, the guy knows the healthcare stuff, as
Speaker 1: you've probably figured out by now, he's the president at
Speaker 1: the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity free op dot org.
Speaker 1: Oh Vic. Great to have you all, my friend, Thanks
Speaker 1: for sharing your expertise. Thanks Bud. Team. Millennials are supposed
Speaker 1: to be a bunch of commies in the making. We
Speaker 1: always hear about how the millennials, of which I am
Speaker 1: a gray beard, as you know, But the younger millennials,
Speaker 1: the young whipper snapper millennials, they love socialism. Well, not
Speaker 1: all of them. That's the good news. We have Morgan
Speaker 1: Zeggers joining us now. She's the founder and CEO of
Speaker 1: Young Americans Against Socialism. More than great to have you on.
Speaker 1: Thank you for having me about. I'm glad to be here.
Speaker 1: All right, So tell me what first off, what was
Speaker 1: your reaction to the debates As a young person that's
Speaker 1: going to be saddled with the crazy debts that these
Speaker 1: libs want to run up, what do you think? Yeah,
Speaker 1: as an American, definitely disappointed. As somebody who pays attention
Speaker 1: to politics, definitely not shocked at all. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: the same whether they've been using forever, promising a lot
Speaker 1: of free stuff sounds really great, and it's definitely misleading
Speaker 1: this country and the youth into thinking that socialism is
Speaker 1: a good idea. Wow, and tell me a bit about
Speaker 1: your organization, Young Americans Against Socialism. How long you guys
Speaker 1: been around? What are you doing kids? So we actually
Speaker 1: launched this month Young Americans Against Socialism, and I'm very
Speaker 1: proud of it. For me, I'm very frustrated by the
Speaker 1: fact that a majority of my generation, young Americans should
Speaker 1: now choose socialism over capitalism. I think it's a complete nonsense.
Speaker 1: And so what I also know about millennials is that
Speaker 1: ninety percent of them has social media accain. So I'm
Speaker 1: going to change the way young Americans think. We are
Speaker 1: doing this. It's a movement. We have been traveling the
Speaker 1: country interviewing people who have escaped from socialism. People. We
Speaker 1: have somebody who windsurfed from Cuba to the Florida Key,
Speaker 1: the Press, the ocean ninety miles just to escape seat
Speaker 1: hell that socialism is. And we're putting those powerful stories
Speaker 1: on short two minutes viral videos and they are going
Speaker 1: to spread like wildfire and social media and completely change
Speaker 1: when my generation thinks about this ideology and NAT is
Speaker 1: going to save the future of this country. Have you
Speaker 1: had any success in trying to give in some of
Speaker 1: your millennial peers to give up the hammer and sickle. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: it's very, very tough, and so I would love to say,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm going to deal a Swiss guest flow
Speaker 1: to socialism, but unfortunately it's it's going to be a
Speaker 1: long haul. It's going to be a fundamental change that
Speaker 1: we're going to have to work on, changing the hearts
Speaker 1: and mind. It's what inspired me. Actually. I went to
Speaker 1: American University in Washington, DC, and the last year that
Speaker 1: I lived down there, I moved into a house off
Speaker 1: campus and some of the girls I hadn't met yet.
Speaker 1: So I went around and I introduced myself to some
Speaker 1: of the girls and into the fun draws room and
Speaker 1: I looked on the wall and I'm like, this so weird.
Speaker 1: It looks like Fidel Castro. Oh looks like now Zay Dong,
Speaker 1: Karl Marks, Oh my god. And I'm looking and I'm
Speaker 1: looking and I'm seek so and Lennon on her goal
Speaker 1: and I go, uh, what's that? And she looked to
Speaker 1: me and she goes, oh, I'm the communition. Oh yeah. Uh.
Speaker 1: And so that right there, I learned so much. I'm
Speaker 1: really thankful for that experience because I learned that my
Speaker 1: communist roommate, as insane as I thought her ideas were,
Speaker 1: she ended up being one of the kindest friends I
Speaker 1: ever had. And that's the lesson about my generation. Like
Speaker 1: a lot of people in my generation, my roommate loved
Speaker 1: her friends, her family, her community, and her country. The
Speaker 1: only problem is that she truly, deep down in her heart,
Speaker 1: believed about socialism and communism and ideas rooted in Marxism.
Speaker 1: They're going to change the situation that many Americans are
Speaker 1: facing and making. I hope you have a lot of
Speaker 1: success with yourgization changing people's minds about that. Morgan Zagger's Everybody,
Speaker 1: founder and CEO of Young Americans Against Socialism. Follow her
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Morgan, thank you so much. Having a day.
Speaker 1: Ain't no party like a Team Buck party, because a
Speaker 1: Team Buck party, don't stop. Yeah, we got buck turned
Speaker 1: up to eleven. It's time for roll call. Indeed, it
Speaker 1: is roll call time, everybody here. I am about to
Speaker 1: do the roll call in Los Angeles, no less very
Speaker 1: exciting or exciting stuff out here in La La Land
Speaker 1: in preparation for the Bill Mars Show tomorrow. I can
Speaker 1: tell you that it is going to be feisty, so
Speaker 1: that that is definitely the case with that show. I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: it should be really good looking forward to it, so
Speaker 1: please do. I like having the team backing me up,
Speaker 1: even if I can't see you while we're doing it.
Speaker 1: Facebook dot Com slash buck Sexton. Here we go, let's
Speaker 1: get to it, Brian. Last week you mentioned nicknames for
Speaker 1: Mark and Mike, but you referenced Snrdley as a nickname.
Speaker 1: I believe it is both Snrdley and he played in
Speaker 1: the NFL. Well, you may know something that I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I know mister Snurdley personally and I know his
Speaker 1: real name, so I don't know. I think I don't
Speaker 1: want to give away any trade secrets though. I'm not
Speaker 1: really sure what's going on here, but I'm gonna leave
Speaker 1: it there. I can tell you this, mister Snardley is
Speaker 1: a great man. He's a great, great patriot. Has given
Speaker 1: me fantastic advice on radio how to do radio in
Speaker 1: the past, and uh, it's really really solid, dude, Sean. Right,
Speaker 1: where did the billions of federal dollars go? Sean? I
Speaker 1: I don't know which billions you're talking about, but the
Speaker 1: government spends a lot of our money, and so yeah,
Speaker 1: could be any number of things. That's I think that's
Speaker 1: fair to say. Let's see Russell Rights. I've seen talents
Speaker 1: on The Walking Dead that then that looked better than
Speaker 1: your shot of Baltimore. So you know, I showed you
Speaker 1: this stuff from Baltimore yesterday on Instagram, and those of
Speaker 1: you listening team, I need you all to follow me
Speaker 1: on Instagram, okay, because I'm using it more and more.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be one of the cool kids that
Speaker 1: knows the Instagram and can use it to communicate with
Speaker 1: all of you. So it's just Buck sex that on Instagram.
Speaker 1: They don't be one, the one and only, although there
Speaker 1: are other Buck Sextons running around, believe it or not.
Speaker 1: But so here's here's the truth about Baltimore. I've I
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time there, um, at least for me.
Speaker 1: I mean I spend a day a week in Baltimore
Speaker 1: for the better part of six months, maybe getting getting
Speaker 1: close to a year all in, at least at least
Speaker 1: for about six months. I'd say I was there once
Speaker 1: a week, all day. And it's not a very big city,
Speaker 1: so you spend enough time there. And I've been there
Speaker 1: for other events and things than just doing work. But
Speaker 1: you spend enough time there you get a pretty good
Speaker 1: feel for it. There are and I will tell you
Speaker 1: this and all, honestly, there are some beautiful parts of Baltimore.
Speaker 1: The Harbor is very nice. It's a little touristy and
Speaker 1: built up. The harbor is very nice. But the gosh,
Speaker 1: I'm actually forgetting the name of the of the area now,
Speaker 1: but there's one area that's very close to the train
Speaker 1: station that has these beautiful buildings and it's really architecturally interesting.
Speaker 1: The problem of Baltimore is you walk five minutes and
Speaker 1: I mean five minutes in the wrong direction in many
Speaker 1: parts of town, including nice ones, and you're in a
Speaker 1: very bad part of town. And when you have a
Speaker 1: city of that size and you have that kind of
Speaker 1: poverty and violence condensed into a relatively small area, what
Speaker 1: it really means is that there's no part of the
Speaker 1: city that ever feels particularly safe. Bad things happen in
Speaker 1: Baltimore all over Baltimore because the drug dealers, gang bangers,
Speaker 1: the people that are tearing at community apart. They don't
Speaker 1: just stay on the one corner where they're selling drugs.
Speaker 1: They obviously move around the city. It's not a very
Speaker 1: big city, and so you feel less safe in neighborhoods
Speaker 1: in Baltimore than you would, I think in other cities,
Speaker 1: where it's just more spread out and the separation between
Speaker 1: a good area and a bad area is a little
Speaker 1: bit more pronounced. In Baltimore, you're on a block where
Speaker 1: there are nice houses that people are clearly taken care
Speaker 1: of and take pride in. You walk two blocks and
Speaker 1: it is all vacance and people selling drugs in broad
Speaker 1: daylight on the street, which is what I saw. What's
Speaker 1: so interesting to me is that there were so many
Speaker 1: people in Baltimore who were longtime residents. I actually had
Speaker 1: dinner with someone who and as wife, we're both born
Speaker 1: and raised in Baltimore, and so they've lived there for
Speaker 1: going on fifty years, and they said, it's been a mess.
Speaker 1: It's just been a mess forever. There's never been good
Speaker 1: government in Baltimore. It's never worked the way it should
Speaker 1: as a as a city. And it's a shame because
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good stuff there. And I know
Speaker 1: that right now you're people are just breaking this down
Speaker 1: into the binary, but it's on the water. It was
Speaker 1: a very active Port. There's some very beautiful old buildings there.
Speaker 1: Tell you this, if you're willing to deal with the
Speaker 1: high crime and the the dysfunction of the city, you
Speaker 1: can buy up some really nice property in Baltimore for
Speaker 1: not a lot of money, unlike in DC, where I
Speaker 1: mean it's better than New York. But all right, I'm
Speaker 1: getting off the getting off the rails a little bit there.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I was in Baltimore yesterday. It was very interesting.
Speaker 1: Mark asks, who books your show guests? That's that's producer Mike.
Speaker 1: Producer Mike is the He is the alpha and the
Speaker 1: omega of show guests as as guests are concerned. So
Speaker 1: you just got to get in touch with producer producer Mike,
Speaker 1: and he determines which guests live and which guests don't
Speaker 1: on air, so to speak. Let's see what we have here.
Speaker 1: Jeff whoa buck. My name is Jeff. I'm a truck
Speaker 1: driver listening to the podcast, so I know him a
Speaker 1: day late. I'm also an Air Force veteran. You were
Speaker 1: talking about concealed carry and how it changes the equation.
Speaker 1: I was talking about brother down at Alabama, about the
Speaker 1: shooting in Gilroy. He said, yeah, that happened here. As
Speaker 1: soon as that guy started firing his weapon, half the
Speaker 1: people at that place would have drawn down on him.
Speaker 1: You look, as there's not a lot of mass shootings
Speaker 1: in Alabama and George in the Deep South. They all
Speaker 1: have concealed carry. It's not hard to get one down here.
Speaker 1: A little bit of a background check, two weeks you
Speaker 1: have your concealed carry license. Keep up the fight shields high, Jeff,
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Mannett. Look, the best evidence of this
Speaker 1: that I can point to is all compiled in John
Speaker 1: Lotts and John John something of a friend. I know
Speaker 1: John from his work More Guns Less Crime, and it's
Speaker 1: a very straight it's a very straightforward proposition. It can
Speaker 1: entirely makes sense. Put yourself in the shoes of being
Speaker 1: a criminal. Who do you want to target? People that
Speaker 1: can fight back or people that are helpless? What areas
Speaker 1: do you want to go? This is why the mass
Speaker 1: shooting so often happen in gun free zones, as we know,
Speaker 1: because if you want to do a mass shooting, you
Speaker 1: want to go somewhere where you're gonna not come up
Speaker 1: against any unexpected resistance from a good guy or gal
Speaker 1: with a firearm. There's very clear correlations here we can
Speaker 1: all understand why it happens the way that it does.
Speaker 1: And on concealed carry, you know, just think about that process.
Speaker 1: For a robbery on the street, a carjacking, home invasion,
Speaker 1: somebody has a handgun that they know how to use.
Speaker 1: That really makes it a whole lot less fun to
Speaker 1: be a carjacker or be a home invader, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: And if you don't know if someone has one or not,
Speaker 1: that then at least makes you perhaps think twice about
Speaker 1: what you're illegal plans may be. And that's how it
Speaker 1: breaks down. And also so you got to think about
Speaker 1: this way. We may not have a media that likes
Speaker 1: to cover it. When there's a bad guy who tries
Speaker 1: to break in the front door and gets you know,
Speaker 1: lit up by a law abiding civilian who's got a
Speaker 1: you know, a sag or a glock or whatever. The
Speaker 1: bad guys here about that, the word gets around. So
Speaker 1: look and this is what the evidence says. I know,
Speaker 1: people say, oh, everyone thinks they're John Wayne, and no,
Speaker 1: it's not that. It's just you know, put yourself in
Speaker 1: the just do scenario analysis in your own head. It's
Speaker 1: one of the most important ways I think that you
Speaker 1: can understand a lot of different policy policy disputes, but
Speaker 1: especially in self defense situations. Put yourself in the shoes
Speaker 1: of the bad guys, and then put yourself in your shoes.
Speaker 1: Let's see what's next on the roll called Sandy, we
Speaker 1: need to explain the word socialism. For if they control
Speaker 1: all your money, healthcare, tax is, housing, etc. The more
Speaker 1: control they have of your life. Well, Sandy, that's why
Speaker 1: I'm writing a book on socialism, and I'm hoping you
Speaker 1: will all buy and you'll enjoy reading. It will be
Speaker 1: out by the either the end of this year or
Speaker 1: early next year. I think it will be a fun
Speaker 1: read for you. It's just kind of doing a whole
Speaker 1: soup to nuts American socialism. That's the that's the plan.
Speaker 1: I'm already h I would like to say I'm having
Speaker 1: I'm I'm deep in the middle of the draft right now.
Speaker 1: So I've got a couple of months here to get
Speaker 1: a final draft in and I'm gonna do some edits.
Speaker 1: But it's happening. It is happening, And yes, I will
Speaker 1: explain socialism in that, and I try to explain socialism
Speaker 1: in this as well. Um Martha writes, what is that
Speaker 1: way cool introductory music to your Freedom Huts segment. I
Speaker 1: must know it, wonderful show Buck my fave. Well, Martha,
Speaker 1: you have great taste in radio shows. And as for
Speaker 1: producer Mark, do you have any idea like which one
Speaker 1: she likes? I don't know which one we're talking about here,
Speaker 1: I don't know. We play a lot of music and
Speaker 1: we play at you know, I mean, DJ Mark is
Speaker 1: spinning all kinds of the hippest, hottest tracks. Yo. Um,
Speaker 1: have you actually do DJ? We've had, We've had, We've
Speaker 1: had producers in the past who were DJs on the side.
Speaker 1: Are you also a Are you really just like an
Speaker 1: audio guy? I'm just like love audio. You're an audio guy.
Speaker 1: You love audio? You don't You're not spinning mad beats
Speaker 1: on the weekends sometimes, but not as a traditional DJ.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, nice you karaoke guy, Mark? No, you don't
Speaker 1: want me singing stand by your man. We could definitely
Speaker 1: do some bad Buck karaoke in the Freedom Hut at
Speaker 1: some point, but then everybody would turn off the station.
Speaker 1: That would be very sad, so we won't. We won't
Speaker 1: do that. That was stuck in my head, by the way,
Speaker 1: because in some of your thinking, why would you start
Speaker 1: singing that? It is in the movie Golden Eye, which
Speaker 1: I love mostly because of the Nintendo sixty four video
Speaker 1: game based on it that I played endless hours of
Speaker 1: with my brothers growing up, and producer Mark you love
Speaker 1: Golden I come on, of course, Yeah, it's like it
Speaker 1: was at the time. It was the greatest video game,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, video game playing experience, probably of all time.
Speaker 1: And the Russian mobster guy whose name I can't remember
Speaker 1: now has a mistress who is singing karaoke terribly and
Speaker 1: she's singing stand by your Man, and it is actually
Speaker 1: Mini Driver for those of you that really are into
Speaker 1: nineties movies, early early Mini Driver before she became a
Speaker 1: surprising starlet in Hollywood. I don't know how that really happened,
Speaker 1: but I mean she was in Goodwill hunting and anyway,
Speaker 1: we got a little more roll call here. Hey everybody,
Speaker 1: right now, please before you forget, set your DVR for
Speaker 1: Bill Marsha Damar or watch it live ten o'clock Eastern
Speaker 1: on HBO. I need the team pulling for me because
Speaker 1: it is I'm going Look, it's liberal ground. You're going
Speaker 1: into liberal territory. There's no question about it, and I
Speaker 1: haven't had that real opportunity in a while. I used
Speaker 1: to it all the time at CNN, But this is
Speaker 1: gonna be a little different because it's a live audience,
Speaker 1: which changes the game up a little bit. Terry writes, Hey, Buck,
Speaker 1: I was just listening to your show when you covered bussing.
Speaker 1: My family is from the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston. One
Speaker 1: issue that never got mentioned was in Boston, certain areas
Speaker 1: had the vocational school. Charlestown was the electrical school. So
Speaker 1: if my cousin from Charlestown wanted to become an electrician,
Speaker 1: he stood a very good chance of being denied attending
Speaker 1: since he lived in Charlestown. So the bussing denied not
Speaker 1: only a quality education, but a potential career opportunity. There
Speaker 1: was a decent movie about bussing in Charlestown and Roxbury
Speaker 1: called The Common Ground. It showed how well to do,
Speaker 1: how well to do? Liberals pitted poor whites against poor blacks.
Speaker 1: Your show is the only one where the other side,
Speaker 1: poor whites showed that they were victims of this. Two
Speaker 1: shields high Terry, Well, thank you, Terry, And that's I
Speaker 1: knew that it was more complicated than liberals were. A
Speaker 1: lot of times, I'll tell you this, a lot of times,
Speaker 1: my research and my political philosophy is guided at some
Speaker 1: level by I know that what they're telling us is
Speaker 1: not true. And that's really the first step in my process.
Speaker 1: I know that the official narrative is not it's either
Speaker 1: a lie or it's only part of the story. And
Speaker 1: with Bussing, it just seemed so obvious to me that, Okay,
Speaker 1: here's something that's very complicated that went on for a
Speaker 1: very long time, and the moment you try to question it,
Speaker 1: they say racist. Well, that's always a tip off because
Speaker 1: there's just no way that that was the only reason
Speaker 1: that the racism was the only reason be like concerns
Speaker 1: about it. And that's why I went through the reality
Speaker 1: of Bussing with you on the show. There was good
Speaker 1: and there was bad from it. All right, team tomorrow
Speaker 1: because I have to do Bill Maher, I am going
Speaker 1: to be off. So we're going to have the Godfather
Speaker 1: Mike Opelka, who was one of my first guests back
Speaker 1: when I first started the Saturday show. So we all
Speaker 1: we all have some love because Godfather was there in
Speaker 1: the very beginning, so he'll do a great job and
Speaker 1: on the show. So listen to Godfather, and then as
Speaker 1: soon as you've done listening to the show, you can
Speaker 1: turn on HBO and I'll be on at ten o'clock
Speaker 1: Eastern real time with Bill maher team. Now more than ever,
Speaker 1: she'll tie
