WEBVTT - MSNBC Can't Math Good 0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:14.560 You are entering the freedom hunt. We got a freestyle 0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:19.959 Friday under way. MSNBC can't math good. Trump town Hall 0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:22.520 on Fox News lays down a lot of important stuff 0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.280 for us. The administration is going to withhold funds from 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:30.120 sanctuary cities. Bernie Sanders pushed really hard for Soviet propaganda 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:33.280 to work better than he thought it would. And also 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:36.239 breaking down the latest on the jobs report and Michigan. 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.000 Will that be the place where the Sanders campaign ends? 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:42.080 We get that a more coming up. This is the 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:45.280 Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:52.000 decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American. 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:58.320 Here a great American Again the Buck Sexton Show begins. 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:04.360 Remember he's a great No. Welcome to the Buck Sex 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:06.920 and Show, everybody. And it has been quite a week. 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:08.520 I gotta tell you, this is one of these weeks 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:11.400 that I feel like we've all been through it. I 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.160 can't really explain why we got coronavirus fears all over 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.640 the place. Every time I open up the Drudge Report, 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:20.440 it's like the Drudge Report has turned into the guy 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:24.120 pushing around a shopping cart with a sign that says, 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.280 you know John three sixteen and then another sign that 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.920 says the world is ending tomorrow. You know, like, I 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.400 don't know what's going on here, but they need to 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:36.119 calm down a little bit. We're going to be okay. 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.119 This is a problem, We're on it. We're gonna work together. 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.919 We're gonna figure this out. There's no need to panic. 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:45.040 I'm reminded of Will Farrell in old school when he 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:48.680 starts banging on the lockers seag We're gonna keep our composure. 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.400 We have to keep our composure here. It's gonna be fine. 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.160 I'll have some updates for you on that later. I'm 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.400 also trying not to make every day. I think this 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.480 is journalists become lazy with this. I'm not a journalist. 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.600 I'm in media, but people that do media content that's 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.480 based on news become lazy because just every day, oh 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.440 we got at a Corona count every day. Another thing 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:13.440 gotta tell you, you don't have to know every little 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.639 detail about every place all over the world where there's 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:19.080 been another person with Corona that's said I'm not about 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.200 to get on a cruise ship anytime soon. Plane fine. 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.960 I was on a plane last weekend cruise ship. I'm 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.040 just not a cruise ship guy proser Mark and I've 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.239 talked about this. It's not something that gets me excited. 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.600 I'm not somebody who of course I'm sitting here. I 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.280 touch my face as I'm talking about this. That's the 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.400 one thing you're not supposed to do. But I'll have 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:43.960 some worthwhile coronavirus updates, just a few of them for 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.000 you later on in the show. And I'm gonna try 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.919 not to make this every day just an ongoing oh 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:52.799 my gosh, oh my gosh, coronavirus COVID nineteen. There's a 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.239 lot of other stuff to talk about, and since it's Friday, 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:59.440 I wanted to start with one of my favorites there. 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:04.000 You know, the media is something that I enjoy talking 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:08.040 to you about because I've been really a super consumer 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:11.440 of news media for decades now. It's something that I've 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.600 always been fascinated in. The first job I ever had, 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.120 I guess if you want to call an internship a 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:20.800 job ever was not including hourly stuff like tutoring and 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.560 things to make some money. When I was in high school, 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.880 was working at CBSCV News with Dan rather as an intern. 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.280 And that was great because I just remember walking around 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.880 and being like Okay, I was only eighteen. Nobody here 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:36.280 seems to be really that smart. Everyone here is very 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:40.560 stressed out and just constantly on each other about very 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:44.920 minor things. And they all seem highly replaceable and overly 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:49.160 anxious to me, including Dan Rather, who would show he 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.040 had the greatest job I'd ever seen. He would show 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:55.680 up at I don't know, four p three thirty four pm, 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.640 read through his lines, get his hair done, thirty minute broadcast, boom, 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.320 seven million dollars a year. Of course, you need somebody 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.480 who can look into the camera and sound like this, 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.400 and it's ridiculous, it's absurd. The whole thing was that's 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.760 a joke. I mean, it's an old model out with 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:19.120 with the boomers now, you know, not as completely dominant 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:22.920 about all media decisions. They're still dominant, but this old 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:26.279 model is changing the silent generation. The boomers think that 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.240 having one person not all of you. If you're listening 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.680 to this and your boomer you're obviously a more sophisticated 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.279 news consumer. But if the old model is to have 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.720 these people that would go on TV and they sound 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:39.080 the part and they look the part, and that's the 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.320 news for today, and everyone goes, oh, Okay that that 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:48.120 sounds like objective news. I'm informed now false. And you 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.799 have some of these vestiges, some of these holdovers from 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.800 the news business that you see that are from that 0:04:55.880 --> 0:05:01.880 old model. And perhaps the single greatest example as Brian Williams, 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:06.040 a guy with no discernible skill or talent other than 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:08.200 just sort of looking and sounding like the guy that 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.440 you should be listening to on the news, and then 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.880 we found out that he was somebody who had told 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:19.000 lies many many times over, not as many lies, I think, 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:23.919 as we've already established, Joe Biden has told in real 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.320 ways that he will not be able to run away from. 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.640 And just remember that you've been lectured about how trumplies 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:34.200 trumplies for years, and they're putting forward a liar, a 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:37.359 straight up liar, in Joe Biden against Donald Trump, and 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:39.040 I have the evidence will play someone for you. We're 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.279 gonna keep running this. Just remember all their principles. Oh, 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.360 it's really just the Trump lies. I mean, I had 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.159 to deal this to Bill Mars show everything. I tried 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.039 to say, Well, hold on a second, what's going on 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:52.360 with the coronavirus response that you don't like trumplies well, okay, 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.159 I mean, there are working on an accelerated vaccine schedule. 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.800 So one Trump says that, why is that? Trumplies. That's 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.800 the only thing they say. Trump lay. This has become 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:04.440 like a like the bleeding of the stupid sheep from 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:09.240 Animal Farm. Four legs good, two legs mad. That's what 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.039 they're doing. They don't even think about it anymore. But 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.040 Ben Biden lies all the time. They don't care. He's 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.360 Joe Biden. You can trust Joe Biden. I mean, Joe 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.800 Biden really reminds me a lot of the Bill Paxson 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:25.680 character in the Rip, a very good actor by the way, 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.839 in the movie True Lies. You know, he's like, you know, 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.320 I've got a few other interested buyers. I mean, Joe 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.400 Joe Biden is the politician version of Bill Paxson and 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.120 True Lies. I wish I could do more of the 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.080 lines from that, but some of them would not be 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:43.840 acceptable for radio. This is my way of telling you 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.599 that some of the most prominent journals out there are 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:48.640 ones that think they should tell you what to think, 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.960 how to vote, how to behave what you can say. 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.920 Are really not intelligent. They're just not very bright people. 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:01.800 They're actors who got their way, who found their way, 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:05.599 worked their way into a journalistic establishment of some kind. 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.280 And all that really takes is a few corporate execs 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.160 in these places because their legacy institutions, places like NBC 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:15.600 News also MSNBC. These are really just versions of each other. 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.160 NBC is the slightly more corporate friendly, slightly watered down 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:24.920 version of the truly left wing insane asylum that is MSNBC. 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:30.960 But MSNBC can math goodm Nope, they've got problems over there. 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.600 And here you have Brian Williams, who I just before 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.120 hold on a sec prison mark before we get to 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.240 this amazing clip, and it's one of the greatest news 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:41.120 clips I've ever heard. I mean, it's it's that good. 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.160 That's why I'm starting the show with it. Before I 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:46.559 get to that with you, let's just remember that Brian 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:50.480 Williams before he was found, and it was just found 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.960 by Internet comments on posts about him before and it 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:57.280 wasn't like, you know, MSNB or NBC did some big 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:01.720 interview interview with him or investigation and figured this out. 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:08.200 Brian Williams was the heir apparent to everything going on 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.920 at NBC News. He was the guy he was going 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:16.120 to be the one, and they were paying him I 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.679 think fifteen million dollars a year, and then we're about 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.640 to pay him even more than that in a big 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.440 contract before this whole controversy came out, and he was 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.040 supposed to be the most trusted Brian Williams could get 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.720 an interview with any politician, anybody in the country anytime, 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:33.440 most trusted voice in the country. And he's sitting down. 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.480 I gotta set the context for us. He is sitting 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:41.000 down with a member of the New York Times editorial 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:45.040 Board named Mara Gay. And you would think the New 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.679 York Times Editorial Board, you know, they they would uh, 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:51.560 they would sneer at submissions from real conservatives. Oh, that's 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.360 not up to our standards. You know, they have all 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.080 kinds of political bias going on. But they think of 0:08:56.120 --> 0:09:00.800 themselves even though they publish people like Charles Blow, Charles 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:07.320 Blow Krugman and others. They think of of themselves as 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:15.480 intellectual elites. And yet you know, Charles Blow Krugman, I'm 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:16.800 trying to think of who is some of the worst, 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:22.080 you know, Brunei, Thomas Friedman. But they still hold to 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:25.760 the center and they're referring. So you have a top 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:30.200 anchor formerly of NBC now MSNBC because of his problem 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.719 with the truth, talking to a New York Times editorial 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:38.959 board member about a tweet from somebody who is a 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:43.320 Washington Post contributor, somebody who writes frequently has in her 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:48.080 byline the Washington Post and her contributions to it. This 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:53.439 is how they math good play at producer Mark. You 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:55.480 see it as a possibility. If he wants to spend 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:59.880 a billion bucks beating this guy, he could do it. Absolutely. 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:04.040 Somebody tweeted recently that actually, with the money he spent, 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.040 he could have given every American a million dollars. Let's 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:12.000 put it up. When I read it tonight on social media, 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:15.160 it kind of all became clear. Bloomberg spent five hundred 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:18.520 million on ads, us population three hundred twenty seven million. 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:20.800 Don't tell us if you're ahead of us on the math. 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:25.120 He could have given each American one million dollars and 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.240 I've had lunch money left over. It's an incredible way 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.160 of putting it. It's an incredible way of putting it. 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:35.280 It's true, it's disturbing. It does it does suggest you 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.200 know what we're talking about. Here, which is there there's 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:46.079 too much money in politics. Oh god, that is my favorite. 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.240 That is my all that might be. I mean, that's 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:55.360 a top ten TV news clip. That is absolutely fantastic. 0:10:55.559 --> 0:11:02.400 You cannot make this up. That's rights. They think that 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:08.319 because Bloomberg spent five hundred million dollars and the US 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:14.160 popular the US population is three hundred and twenty seven 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:20.000 million dollars, he could like easily give each American a 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.600 million dollars cash and have lots of money left over 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:28.040 from what he spent on the campaign. Now, I make 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:31.560 fun of things like Joe Biden saying that one hundred 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.800 as he did without correcting it. It wasn't misspeaking. He 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:39.000 said it, and he let it stay out there. Joe 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.320 Mine said one hundred and fifty million people have been 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.400 killed in gun violence in the last ten years. There 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:46.040 are three hundred and twenty million people in America, probably 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.559 more like three thirty now a lot of the legal aliens. 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:53.520 Five hundred million dollars divided by three hundred and twenty 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:57.760 seven million dollars is nowhere near a million per person. 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:02.400 And yet you have to remember this isn't just something 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.840 that was said, because look when you're doing a math 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.720 under pressure. One of the reasons people go into TV news, 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:09.720 into acting. I'm just telling you the truth. Other people 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.080 won't tell you, you know, university teaching and get a 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:17.240 PhD in the humanities because they can't do math. It's true. 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.000 If I was better at math, if you think, I'd 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.920 be sitting here, probably be working at some hedge fund 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.360 slapping producer Mark with a thousand dollar bills. But he 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.280 wouldn't care because he'd be my right hand man at 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.200 the hedge fund and he'd be driving around in a 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:28.920 brand new portion nine eleven. You know what I mean. 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.200 He'd be fine with it. But that you know, if 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.400 I was good at math, we'd probably be doing something else. 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.520 I'm better at math than these people, though, that I 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:41.800 can tell you. Brian Williams of NBC New York Times 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.520 editorial board member, referring to a tweet put out by 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.480 somebody from the Washington Post. I mean, these are three 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:51.840 of the most elite media institutions you could find anywhere, 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.240 and none of them picked this up. And you have 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.800 tosend this was a tweet they put on the screen, 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.480 so they chose that this was prepared be forehand. Producers 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.320 at NBC or MSNBC. This was at ms which is 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:13.080 the same thing. Producers at MSNBC saw this tweet. They 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:17.080 saw it and they thought, Yeah, that really nails it. 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:21.320 That really makes the case about how Bloomberg. They take 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:25.040 the exact wrong lesson. By the way, the lesson of 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:28.160 Bloomberg is that you can't buy an election, But their 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.720 lesson that they take from this instead because they like 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:34.319 just the virtue signal if we don't want money in politics, 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:40.800 is Bloomberg somehow shows us how corrupt elections are because 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.960 he spends so much money and got nothing, zippo nowhere. 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:49.840 But put that aside for a moment. Yes there is, 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.559 and it's important. And this is part of the rethink 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.920 of the ruling class in this country that has been 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:59.680 going on as a result of Trump's rise. Those who 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.880 see to rule over us are media overlords, the people 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:07.120 in positions of authority in government, in media. In so 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:12.360 many ways, a lot of them got there for reasons 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.040 that have I would argue most, I would argue a 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:18.800 vast majority have very little to do with intelligence or ability. 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:23.080 A lot of them just played politics well, understand the system, 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.680 work the system, and in journalism in particular, are just ruthless, 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:31.800 ruthless and sociopathic. That's how they get where they are. 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:37.200 But there are many, many, many sheer and utter. And 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.400 I'm not saying this for a laugh line. It's true. 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:44.000 There are dumb asses all over the mainstream media, complete dumbasses. 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:48.080 And you need to remember that. It's not that there, 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:49.760 it's not that I just don't like some of their policies, 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:51.680 because there are smart libs. I'll sit here all day 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:53.280 if you want, I'll tell you the smart libs are. 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.320 There are smart libs, no question. I think they're wrong 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:58.760 on stuff, but they're still very bright. There's also a 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:02.240 lot of dumb asses, though, And this is just another 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.040 example of I mean, what a what a what a 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.160 stuffed shirt phony Brian Williams is I mean not just 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.840 because of this, it's everything you look at everything. This 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:14.560 is a guy who just really mastered sounding a certain 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:16.720 way and looking into the camera a certain way. He's 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:20.160 not learned, he's not insightful. It was all in act. 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.000 I can't even I don't even know Mara Gay is there, 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:26.280 honestly never even heard of her before, but clearly not 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:29.360 very good at math, and the person who's tweet they 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:33.400 referred to who writes for Washington Post. I don't know who. 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:38.200 I've never heard her name either, But this was amazing. 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:41.560 The Eleventh Hour put out this tweet tonight on air. 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:43.640 We quoted a tweet that relied on bad math. We 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:48.480 corrected the error, We apologized for the air. Yeah, that's 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.480 that's about as much as you can do. They're all 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.120 math good over at MSNBC. Nope, they got they got 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:57.080 problems over there. That's that's amazing. But go to them. 0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:58.960 Listen to them about what you should do in the 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.280 stock market, Listen to the I'm about coronavirus, who you 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.040 should vote for. These people are brilliant. They know more 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.360 than you. They think really hard all the time about 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:12.000 all the important things you're in the Freedom Hunt. This 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:18.560 is the Buck Sexton Show podcast Team one. One more 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:21.520 point I wanted to make here about the most amazing 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:26.000 MSNBC clip, which is saying a lot because MSNBC has 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:29.920 some great moments that are unintentionally hilarious. I mean, MSNBC 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.480 is a joke. It's to think of this as a 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.840 news network is laughable, but it is what it is. 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.760 There was one point here that I think a lot 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:42.320 of people are going to skip past. And that is 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.680 also yeah, okay, we're making fun of them at math. 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.160 And look, I'm not somebody who's great at math on 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.120 the fly. I'm not gonna pretend that I am better 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:52.120 than these people, but not gonna pretend like I'm good 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:55.800 at math. There's also a reason why they would believe 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:59.720 this though, and I really mean this. They've convinced themselves 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:04.879 it is now liberal orthodoxy. They have convinced themselves that 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:09.560 it is possible to just take money from billionaires and 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:13.359 pay for everything. They think this is true. They believe 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.600 the Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren Reddick. I mean, this is 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.480 a real political point about how you can have such 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:21.360 a colossal and stupid mistake on TV. It's because everybody 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.120 that everybody there has been hearing from all these Democrat 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:27.240 candidates like Sanders and Warren and others. You know, the 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:31.360 millionaires and the billionaires will pay, and people think, oh, okay, 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.520 all they gotta do is tax the billionaires a little 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:36.439 more and we all have great free healthcare. This is 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:43.399 a huge, a monumental, blatant, obvious lie. But they believe it. 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:46.440 They believe it so much that they think, yeah, sure, 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.000 you know, if you just took with Bloomberg spending the campaign, 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:51.520 you could probably pay off the national debt or something. 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:55.560 I mean they think things that no reasonable person could 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:59.400 because the propaganda about how billionaires could pay for everything 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:02.880 in this country has seeped so far into their brains. 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:06.160 This is real. Thanks for listening to The bus Esson 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:11.000 Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.959 or wherever you get your podcasts. Don't listen to him. 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:17.760 He was on I think Fox yesterday or something. It's 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:20.440 heelling people go to work. It's nothing if you don't 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:25.639 feel good. I mean, don't listen to Joy Bha either. 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:30.800 Please don't listen to Joy Beaha about anything speaking about 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:35.160 people who are dumbin on TV. Who she's she's top ten. 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:38.720 She really, she's in a special category. It's like, oh 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:41.080 my gosh, why do we have to listen to Trump? 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:46.000 The President is trying to calm people down and tell 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:48.000 people to keep going about their business. He's right to 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:54.639 do so. There's clearly a merger now between Trump derangement 0:18:54.800 --> 0:19:00.520 syndrome and what we see going on with coronavirus coverage 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.040 in the media. The more negative it is, the more 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:04.520 they want to tie it to Trump. The more they 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:06.160 can tie it to Trump, the more negative they want 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:08.320 it to be. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. It's 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:14.720 a cycle. And yet they want to pretend that they're 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.200 doing this because they have your best interest at heart. 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:20.240 Do you not listen to the crazy media about this stuff? 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:22.679 All right? Listen to people that you know and that 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.480 you trust and that are trying to approach this with 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:27.960 the first priority. And this is what I try to say. Again. 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:29.760 I keep referring back to last week. I mean, I 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:31.959 was honestly stunned, and some of you have asked me 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:36.520 about the billmar appearance. I was stunned by how dishonest 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:40.639 and how obtuse and just honestly dumb. So much of 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:44.919 the commentary around me was I should have expected. The 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:46.919 only thing I blame myself for with that is that 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:49.760 I should have expected it a little bit more because 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:52.760 I know how libs are. But I thought, it's not 0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:54.679 like we were just talking about you know, Trump on 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:56.280 the boarder. You know that I'm always ready for that. 0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:58.159 You're gonna get trumps? Are you know? Trump's a racist? 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:01.480 I thought on coronavirus IRUs. And this is my mistake, 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:07.320 this is my era error, that there should be some 0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:10.200 sense of responsibility in coming together, and we really don't 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:13.880 want this to become a major problem. No one wants 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:16.320 us to become a major problem, because if it does, 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:19.560 it means that there will be large numbers of seniors 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:23.200 in this country. You know, our moms and dads, grandmas 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:26.800 and grandpa's, you know, friends and neighbors. There'll be large 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:31.120 numbers of seniors who could fall victim to this, and 0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:34.400 that should bring us together, that that mission of protecting 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:37.359 our seniors, because they're by far, as as has been 0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:40.200 said by all responsible parties all along, they're by far 0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:43.480 at the greatest risk. Here I mean the numbers in 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:49.359 terms of fate immortality for people over seventy who get 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:53.720 COVID nineteen versus people below fifty. I mean below fifty 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:57.400 unless you're severely immunosuppressed, which I would know. It also 0:20:57.440 --> 0:20:59.920 means that you are every single year having to do 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:02.880 with the possibility of getting a fatal flu if you're 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:05.800 really that immunosuppress. So that's just to say that those 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:07.959 people already understand they have to be very careful very 0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:12.360 vigilant and always will and always have been. But I 0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:16.040 thought that on this we could approach this like it 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:19.600 was a foreign invasion, but a pathogenic foreign invasion into 0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:22.200 this country, and that that would bring us together. There'd 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:24.200 be a little bit of a post nine to eleven effect, 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:26.520 which was a real thing, not with the whole left, 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:29.600 but with some Democrats, you know, in large numbers of Democrats. 0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:31.520 I'll be honest about it. I always will be honest 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:34.399 with you. You know, there was a sense the country 0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:36.920 was united against a common enemy. Our common enemy here 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:40.920 is a pathogen. And yet the way that this is 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:43.120 being reported on and talked about that the real enemy 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:46.840 is Trump's response to the pathogen. And I should have known. 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:49.840 I should have known that even now, with lives at 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:54.200 stake here at home, their primary focus is not on 0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:57.199 educating and forming and preparing the public for this and 0:21:57.240 --> 0:22:00.800 bringing us together for the most effective government response. Their 0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:03.080 primary goal is to use this as a weapon against 0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:07.879 Donald Trump. It's the truth, and it's actually it feels 0:22:07.920 --> 0:22:10.119 kind of gross to say it, but it is the truth. 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:13.040 I mean, it makes me feel bad about the state 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:16.640 this country's in. And so that was mine because after 0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:18.840 my whole experience trying to talk to mar and that 0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:22.040 panel it sort of felt ikey, and I was like, 0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:24.479 what is wrong with these people? I mean, it really was, 0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:29.040 and it was in that sense very important for me 0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:34.000 going into as I talk about being a wartime conservative, 0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:37.760 and you've got to be a wartime conservative now on 0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:42.080 everything at all times, because the left will see no 0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:45.200 common ground to you. There's no principles that they will 0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:50.280 not violate. They're in a total, a total berserker mode 0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:54.880 trying to re establish power and control. They'll do anything, 0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:59.600 it doesn't matter. So lesson learned. I'm always learning. I 0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:01.320 learned from all of you as you write in and 0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:04.280 as we continue this conversation how many years in. That 0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:06.680 was a lesson for me. Another lesson is Joy Behar 0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:09.359 is an idiot. Don't listen to her. And if my 0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:11.600 words on this aren't enough for you, here's what she 0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:15.439 had to say about AOC running for president Play fifteen. 0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:18.639
