Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. The Democrat Debates Part two.
Speaker 1: Quite a bit of crazy, quite a bit of socialism,
Speaker 1: open borders. Oh my, we're gonna have some fun on
Speaker 1: this Friday, pulling apart all the nutso stuff from the left.
Speaker 1: Coming up on the Buck Sexton Show. Bucks Sextons, Decoding
Speaker 1: the news and disseminating information is actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, American. Ready,
Speaker 1: you're a great American again. This is the Bucks Sexton Show.
Speaker 1: Former CIA analysts. Remember I can speak for three hours
Speaker 1: without a phone call. Try doing that sometime. I've been
Speaker 1: watching the debates a little bit in between meetings, and
Speaker 1: I wasn't impressed less. But when you look at the
Speaker 1: socialism and you look at what it can do, that's
Speaker 1: what you're talking about there. Yeah, that's become like the
Speaker 1: Socialist Party. In fact, I heard there's a room of
Speaker 1: the Democrats are going to change it's the name of
Speaker 1: the party from the Democrat Party to the Socialist Party.
Speaker 1: I'm hearing that, but let's see if they do it.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Buck Sex and sure everybody coming to
Speaker 1: you live from New York City. Ay, if I'm watching
Speaker 1: that debate last night, I was at a little debate
Speaker 1: watching party, a bunch of conservatives here in New York
Speaker 1: that they do exist, believe it or not. I think
Speaker 1: we're outnumbered in Manhattan eight to one. But there we go,
Speaker 1: producer Mike, there's a few of us running around. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought you way higher than that. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I actually thought I was hired that too, But
Speaker 1: I heard eight to one last night was the number
Speaker 1: I was told. So it makes sense because there's there's
Speaker 1: not stealth conservatives here, you know what I mean, you don't.
Speaker 1: They don't want to talk about it, but and there's
Speaker 1: still some capitalists minds every day. That's what I'm doing,
Speaker 1: That's how we roll. So it was quite an event
Speaker 1: last night, this debate, Part two, two nights, ten candidates
Speaker 1: at a time, turned into a free for all. At
Speaker 1: some point. There was a lot of squabbling, a little
Speaker 1: bit of yeah, a bit of this, a little bit
Speaker 1: of that going on. I would say this to you,
Speaker 1: think about for those of you who watch the debate,
Speaker 1: I'll just put this out there, think about a what
Speaker 1: the Democrats would do differently from what they are currently
Speaker 1: proposing to do if their plan was to destroy our
Speaker 1: economy and make our country much less free and much poorer.
Speaker 1: What would they do differently now? Now, really think about that,
Speaker 1: because I understand that that's a somewhat inflammatory thing to say.
Speaker 1: It's essentially, if the Democrats wanted to destroy this country,
Speaker 1: what policies would they would they advocate for? Now differently?
Speaker 1: Because you it wouldn't be true if you said, oh
Speaker 1: but buck Well, they would just say, why don't we
Speaker 1: start a big war with some foreign country? Which maybe
Speaker 1: they'll do that at some point, but no, because then
Speaker 1: they wouldn't get elected. But if their plan was to
Speaker 1: say stuff that would put them in power and to
Speaker 1: push policies that once they were in power would be
Speaker 1: disastrous for America, I think they've got a pretty I
Speaker 1: think they've got a pretty good platform. Going green New Deal,
Speaker 1: which is just green socialism. Put them in charge of everything,
Speaker 1: make energy much more energy, much more expensive, shutdown drilling
Speaker 1: wherever they can, push for nonsense, boondoggle green energy programs
Speaker 1: all over the place, Promise a government green energy job
Speaker 1: for everybody. It's just gonna be bureaucrats pushing around paper
Speaker 1: pretending to create energy. You know, Medicare for all wildly expensive,
Speaker 1: completely completely impossible for our budget to handle. They say that, oh,
Speaker 1: they'll be all these savings. Those savings are magic. It's
Speaker 1: never going to happen. No deportations, full amnesty, nicer and
Speaker 1: come fier accommodations across the board for people that come
Speaker 1: into the border illegally, make sure that they're let into
Speaker 1: the country without so much as a simple will check.
Speaker 1: Open borders, an erosion, a destruction of American sovereignty. So
Speaker 1: we've already got run the debt up into the into
Speaker 1: just the stratosphere, beyond where it already is. It's already
Speaker 1: a huge problem. But just you know, take the debt
Speaker 1: to thirty fifty trillion. Who cares, Medicare for all, free stuff,
Speaker 1: free stuff, free college, wipe away one point six trillion
Speaker 1: in student loans, just socialize that loss and the rest
Speaker 1: of us. What am I missing? Oh yeah, destroy the family.
Speaker 1: Say there's no such thing as male female gender abortion
Speaker 1: on demand, all nine months of a pregnancy paid for
Speaker 1: by you, the taxpayer, even if you think it's murder.
Speaker 1: What else am I missing? What else is there? Oh?
Speaker 1: And white male privilege is the one thing that everybody
Speaker 1: can blame for all of their problems. I think if
Speaker 1: you were trying to kick at the load bearing walls
Speaker 1: of America. That's a pretty good start. If your plan
Speaker 1: was to just bring this whole thing crumbling down and
Speaker 1: make it anew in some socialist, utopian, progressive Marxist dream,
Speaker 1: those are all pretty good ways to go about it. Now,
Speaker 1: you could say, but pa, come on, that's extreme. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: but last night was extreme. There were moments last night
Speaker 1: that even for me, as somebody who works in politics
Speaker 1: or covers politics, i should say for a living, were
Speaker 1: a bit of a flabbergasting moment was nearly dumbfounded. For example,
Speaker 1: when the Democrats this should be an easy one, and
Speaker 1: I can't really I want to play the audio though
Speaker 1: you won't see what happened. But this was the for me,
Speaker 1: the single most powerful, most important moment of the entire
Speaker 1: debate last night. We'll get into the Biden Harris throw
Speaker 1: down later. That's more internal Democrats stuff. What affects you,
Speaker 1: what affects this country, What's going to matter to you
Speaker 1: and to all of us going forward? That is American
Speaker 1: sovereignty and rule of law, and how immigration or illegal
Speaker 1: immigrations specifically an illegal aliens in this country and the
Speaker 1: continued massive inflow. A mass migration of illegal aliens in
Speaker 1: the United States is occurring right now. And when Democrats
Speaker 1: are asked in front of millions and millions of their
Speaker 1: fellow Americans, well, what are you what are you willing
Speaker 1: to do for legal aliens? And really embedded in this
Speaker 1: question is how will you treat American citizens and in
Speaker 1: a way that it's clear you privileged their interests above
Speaker 1: non citizens, which I know this seems really mean to Democrats.
Speaker 1: I know this seems like, oh, it's it's an inhumane
Speaker 1: and terrible thing to say. But our government, which has
Speaker 1: sovereignty over US soil but also has a relationship to
Speaker 1: all of us and makes claims on us. Our government
Speaker 1: makes claims on your property through the tax code, our
Speaker 1: government makes claims on your action through the legal code,
Speaker 1: makes claims on your life through selective service. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot that goes into this. But
Speaker 1: the Democrats and the left are no longer comfortable with
Speaker 1: the government that says citizens should be privileged. The states
Speaker 1: should work the big es state the federal government to
Speaker 1: privilege the interests of citizens over non citizens who are
Speaker 1: here illegally. I'm not even talking about Green Cardinal. I'm
Speaker 1: talking with people that are not supposed to be in
Speaker 1: the country, that are here in direct violation of federal law.
Speaker 1: When the Democrats on that stage were asked, what would
Speaker 1: you be willing to do when it comes to healthcare
Speaker 1: for illegals, here is how that went. Play one, raise
Speaker 1: your hand if cover, if your government plan would provide
Speaker 1: coverage for un docum minuted immigrants. Every hand on that stage.
Speaker 1: Every Democrat on that stage raised a hand, every single
Speaker 1: one of them. Now, I just want to take a
Speaker 1: step back for a second here. You will recall that
Speaker 1: some of us, and I was one of them on
Speaker 1: the right, we're warning all along that with the massive
Speaker 1: government healthcare bill known as Obamacare put forward, and all
Speaker 1: that that would do, and all the increases in government
Speaker 1: control of her healthcare and everything that I would do,
Speaker 1: it was only a matter of time before they would
Speaker 1: expand this to illegals. In Hillary's campaign, and this did
Speaker 1: not get much cover to the media, but it was
Speaker 1: on her campaign website. She had as part of her
Speaker 1: platform that illegals could be under Obamacare, but they just
Speaker 1: would not get the subsidies. So we went from Obama.
Speaker 1: Oh remember when that man yelled about you lie. Number
Speaker 1: of Congress that Obama. Everyone said it was so racist
Speaker 1: and terrible because Obama said that it wouldn't That was
Speaker 1: over this issue whether Obamacare would cover illegals. Well now effectively. Oh,
Speaker 1: then Obamacare just really expanded Medicaid, which is government paying
Speaker 1: for your healthcare. Now we're moving towards single payer. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess what now they do want to give money
Speaker 1: to illegals for their healthcare. Money comes from you. They're
Speaker 1: going to take money from you under pain of imprisonment
Speaker 1: if you don't want to give it, so you don't
Speaker 1: pay your taxes, you go to prison. But they're gonna
Speaker 1: take money from you now, and they're going to use
Speaker 1: that money to pay for abortions. Oh, for illegals as well,
Speaker 1: by the way, including illegals who are juveniles called at
Speaker 1: the border. Liberals get very upset if if that doesn't
Speaker 1: happen and they want to take money from you to
Speaker 1: pay for the healthcare of people who are not supposed
Speaker 1: to be in this country at all. Well, once that happens,
Speaker 1: once it's clear that you can directly benefit from the
Speaker 1: American welfare state courtesy of the American taxpayer, and you
Speaker 1: don't even have to obey laws together. All you do
Speaker 1: is get here. It is open season. This is forced
Speaker 1: theft from American citizens. They are stealing from you to
Speaker 1: give to people that under the social contract and the
Speaker 1: constitution of this country should not be receiving anything from you.
Speaker 1: But it's about power and the Democratic parties future voting blocks,
Speaker 1: and so they're willing to steal from you, legalized theft
Speaker 1: to give to people who are in violation of the law.
Speaker 1: And if you have a problem with it, and you
Speaker 1: are not okay with this, that's on you. You're a
Speaker 1: bad person. This Democratic Party, they would have told us
Speaker 1: even five years ago. I would have said, no, they're
Speaker 1: not We're not going to We're not going to have
Speaker 1: government healthcare for illegals. Now, think about what that means.
Speaker 1: If you come to this country now and you're an
Speaker 1: illegal from say Central America, which is where we have
Speaker 1: this massive inflow of migrants, and I've been down to
Speaker 1: the border to cover this and speak to them and
Speaker 1: see as much as I can of what's happening. If
Speaker 1: you can just get to the southern border and you
Speaker 1: have a child with you, you are now according to
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, you should be guaranteed entry in the United States.
Speaker 1: You should never be You should never have to go
Speaker 1: through a legal process where you will realistically face any
Speaker 1: threat of deportation or even sanction, even paying a fine.
Speaker 1: You get to stay in the country. You're going to
Speaker 1: get free healthcare. If you have a child here, you
Speaker 1: will immediately benefit from the full the full range of
Speaker 1: federal welfare programs, and Democrats fight like mad to make
Speaker 1: sure that you can't shut that off from people who
Speaker 1: are benefiting from that. You will never be deported. How
Speaker 1: is this not open borders? If you can come here
Speaker 1: guaranteed to stay, don't have to have any immigration processing
Speaker 1: other than I'm here, and you get to stay, and
Speaker 1: you're gonna get federal benefits paid for by the taxpayer
Speaker 1: that you have no say in. That feels like open
Speaker 1: borders to me. This is the This is really the
Speaker 1: end of America, folks. If they do this, if they
Speaker 1: get away with this, if this ends up happening, if
Speaker 1: anyone can just come and stay and help themselves to
Speaker 1: money that comes from you, which means really your labor
Speaker 1: and your time is now being seized by the federal
Speaker 1: government to be given to people who do not obey
Speaker 1: our laws who do not care. And I know we're
Speaker 1: supposed to believe that they have some cultural affinity for
Speaker 1: America and they're here just because they love it so much,
Speaker 1: or they're here because it's where the best welfare stuff
Speaker 1: is that happens too. Go speak to some Swedes about
Speaker 1: some of their Mid East refugees and how much they
Speaker 1: adapted to Swedish culture. There are whole areas where you
Speaker 1: won't hear anyone speaking Swedish, and you have a lot
Speaker 1: of people who hate the Swedish state, but they're living
Speaker 1: on the welfare rolls. We have an assimilation process in
Speaker 1: this country that has been going on for a long
Speaker 1: time that is based on people coming in an orderly
Speaker 1: and legal fashion, and there are stops and starts to it.
Speaker 1: There are ups and downs inflows and cessations of those inflows.
Speaker 1: Now we are to believe that after the largest surge
Speaker 1: in immigration in overall numbers in the history of this country,
Speaker 1: stretching back for decades, and with a million a year
Speaker 1: coming in from Central America, you know, it's not that
Speaker 1: expensive to fly to Mexico from some third country. I
Speaker 1: have seen Cubans and Bangladesh. E's and pakistanis. And you know,
Speaker 1: you see people showing up at the border from now
Speaker 1: all over the world. When is it too much? When
Speaker 1: do we become I'm a laughing stock. Find me another
Speaker 1: country that has this policy. Find me another country that says,
Speaker 1: come here, just show up and we'll You don't even
Speaker 1: have to do it the way we tell you to
Speaker 1: do it. You just show up and we'll give you
Speaker 1: free stuff. And by the way, one of our two
Speaker 1: major political parties will tell you that you are owed this.
Speaker 1: And anyone who says you're not owed it is a
Speaker 1: xenophobe and a racist and a bigot, and you should
Speaker 1: dislike them and feel like they owe you even more.
Speaker 1: It's not exactly a recipe for a harmonious society they're
Speaker 1: setting up, is it. Remember the remember the fundamental question
Speaker 1: of the day. If the Democrats were trying to undo
Speaker 1: and ruin this country within the parameters of what could
Speaker 1: get enough vote that they'd be in power, right. So
Speaker 1: not just I'm not saying they're gonna like seize the
Speaker 1: nuclear silos and fire them on Oklahoma. I'm just saying
Speaker 1: if they were trying to seize power with a platform
Speaker 1: where they one could achieve power and two could destroy
Speaker 1: the country. What would they be doing differently? I think
Speaker 1: last night, with what we saw on immigration, it's a
Speaker 1: very hard question to answer. Never mind all the other
Speaker 1: stuff about the socialism and the social justice and all
Speaker 1: the rest of it. We have a very packed show,
Speaker 1: as you might have guessed, friends, So stay with me.
Speaker 1: People who have who come to our country and want
Speaker 1: to be admitted, have to meet certain standards. That's the
Speaker 1: way it is, but it isn't and I've had this
Speaker 1: conversation with my Republican colleagues frequently. It shouldn't be a
Speaker 1: crime to have a visa, to have a status violation.
Speaker 1: If somebody commits a crime or is it guilty of
Speaker 1: a crime and they're in our country, prosecutorial disquestion would
Speaker 1: warrant that they are justified that they be sent away.
Speaker 1: So nobody's saying that people are But if you overstay
Speaker 1: your visa or you're coming in as this family would
Speaker 1: have been coming in, but they had narrowed the number
Speaker 1: of people coming in through the ports of entry, so
Speaker 1: they were coming in not to pert and that's not
Speaker 1: unusual Democratic candidates, This is a democratic party, folks, Open borders,
Speaker 1: that's what they are. If it's not a problem to
Speaker 1: overstay your visa, guess what, madame genius, who's going to
Speaker 1: go through the immigration process. Why put yourself through all
Speaker 1: the years and the lawyers and the man hours and
Speaker 1: everything else. When you can just say, oh, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna get a visa to visit and I'm gonna stay.
Speaker 1: Why not When you stay beyond your visa, you're effectively
Speaker 1: breaking a promise to the government that you're only here
Speaker 1: for a certain period to do certain things. This is
Speaker 1: why they don't believe in consequences. Or maybe they do
Speaker 1: and they just realize the real con quence here is
Speaker 1: by not enforcing the laws, the Democratic Party will be
Speaker 1: in power forever and the Republican Party is finished. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think that is what they want. That is what
Speaker 1: they get excited about. But they have to own this now.
Speaker 1: They have to be honest about it. They can't hide
Speaker 1: from this anymore. I mean, you've got to speaking of
Speaker 1: owning things and being honest and not being able to
Speaker 1: hide from it anymore. The border crisis, for example, the
Speaker 1: border crisis, Mike pulled this one for me. This is
Speaker 1: here is we liked a little a little Don Lemon
Speaker 1: versus don Lemon on the border fifteen is manufactured. It's
Speaker 1: a manufactured crisis, a non crisis at the border. That's
Speaker 1: really not fooling anybody. And for anybody who doesn't think
Speaker 1: immigration is a crisis, a deadly serious crisis, a humanitarian crisis,
Speaker 1: I gotta show you this picture. It's a shocking, devastating picture.
Speaker 1: It's a father and his nearly two year old daughter.
Speaker 1: They drowned at the US Mexico border. Father and daughter
Speaker 1: drowned on Sunday. They attempted to cross the Rio Bravo.
Speaker 1: That is what the immigration crisis looks like. All of this,
Speaker 1: this whole mess is manufactured. It's a manufactured crisis. I mean,
Speaker 1: so you know, so it's a non crisis. It's manufactured,
Speaker 1: he says, on one hand, and then and then he
Speaker 1: says it is it is a christ by Well, it's
Speaker 1: the Rio he Ma at the Rio grand I assume, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's the Rio Bravos. Any whatever. Um. Seems like Democrats
Speaker 1: have had to come around on the reality what's happening
Speaker 1: down there. I think it's also time that we don't
Speaker 1: let them get away anymore with how they're open borders.
Speaker 1: If they want to be open borders, they just need
Speaker 1: to say that and then we can have that national discussion.
Speaker 1: But when you don't believe in enforcement and everyone gets
Speaker 1: to stay and every can cross, that's open borders, folks.
Speaker 1: He's holding the line for a buck. Sexton is back.
Speaker 1: It turns out the Rio Bravo is the thing producer, Mike,
Speaker 1: what is this? I thought it might be because that's
Speaker 1: such a that's not even close to Rio grass. So
Speaker 1: that's what it's called in Mexico. Yeah, so the Rio
Speaker 1: grand otherwise known as the Rio Bravo del Norte, is
Speaker 1: the Spanish version, and there's you know, they can't there's
Speaker 1: an oxtion arcicle in the Dallas Observer why people call
Speaker 1: two things. How they can't come to an agreement on it?
Speaker 1: So yeah, man, hey man, Don Lemon right on point, dude,
Speaker 1: you question the Lemon at your peril and the accidental
Speaker 1: uh was was the saying accidental journalism one Don Lemon's part,
Speaker 1: you question, you question Lemon at your peril exactly. Just
Speaker 1: one more thing on the on the border before we
Speaker 1: get back into the baits uh ilhan Omar kind of
Speaker 1: represents I think the pretty well the far left position
Speaker 1: on what's going onto the border. And we just spent
Speaker 1: four billies. You were spending four billion dollars of taxpayer
Speaker 1: money as to deal with the emergency at the border.
Speaker 1: And we're trying to send you more resources, which means
Speaker 1: more foods, more beds, more personnel, more medical services. All
Speaker 1: of this. This is money that is coming from the
Speaker 1: US Treasury. This is money that you are paying into
Speaker 1: the treasury with your taxes every single day. And we're
Speaker 1: bad people because we're not doing enough. This is what
Speaker 1: it is with Libs. We're never doing enough for non Americans.
Speaker 1: We do, but we do plenty. You know, we got
Speaker 1: we've got a veteran homelessness crisis going on in different cities.
Speaker 1: We've got opioid crisis going on across We're living seventy
Speaker 1: thousand of our fellow Americans a year. How much interest
Speaker 1: do you see from Libs to deal with the opioid
Speaker 1: crisis which is still still killing seventy thousand people a year? Okay?
Speaker 1: How much interest and outrage you see in them dealing
Speaker 1: with that versus what's going on in our southern border.
Speaker 1: You know what separates families a drug overdose? It separates
Speaker 1: them forever. Way less interest in tackling that problem from
Speaker 1: from liberals because there's no they don't see a political
Speaker 1: advantage in it. If they did not see political advantage
Speaker 1: in what was happening at our southern border, they would
Speaker 1: care a whole lot less, if not at all. Ilhan Omar, though,
Speaker 1: wants us to know that we are not generous enough.
Speaker 1: We do not do enough for the illegal aliens coming
Speaker 1: into this country late eighteen. Nothing we did today make
Speaker 1: sure that any of the money we send would be
Speaker 1: used to make sure that kids have a proper place
Speaker 1: to sleep, that they are no longer going to be intellegents,
Speaker 1: that they're going to have proper care. We had that opportunity,
Speaker 1: We had an opportunity to put forth a humanitarian policy,
Speaker 1: and we wasted that opportunity. And it's quite sad, and
Speaker 1: I hope that Americans are as called as I am.
Speaker 1: Americans are as all as she is. Demogoguery never stops
Speaker 1: with the left, and we remember the Democrats were the
Speaker 1: ones that we're holding up this bill initially, and now
Speaker 1: the Democrats are doing what exactly, complaining that it's not
Speaker 1: enough money. You know, they don't want any enforcement. If
Speaker 1: you want to stop the problem from continuing, you have
Speaker 1: to convince people that they should not keep doing this.
Speaker 1: They don't want the Democrats don't want to do that.
Speaker 1: They want this to be exactly as it is. We
Speaker 1: all know why we do not have a partner in
Speaker 1: the other party in handling the immigration crisis. They believe
Speaker 1: in expanding it and continue. They think that this should
Speaker 1: really be the status quote. But let's get back, shall we,
Speaker 1: to the craziness of it. That was ilhan Omar. She
Speaker 1: wasn't up there on the debate stage last night. Let's
Speaker 1: go wait, wait before there's one thing here. Hold on
Speaker 1: a second. So we had a little Spanish. We had
Speaker 1: to clarify some Spanish there with real ground in Real
Speaker 1: del Norte. But somebody else needs a little Spanish clarifier. Uh.
Speaker 1: Build a Blasio down in Miami decided to go full
Speaker 1: che gavara on. People gathered together plate twelve thirteen thirteen,
Speaker 1: here with you every seven the asta la victoria cmprey hmhmm,
Speaker 1: you mean build a Blasio likes to go down to Miami,
Speaker 1: where you have a lot of Cuban exiles, people that
Speaker 1: fled Cuba because of the destruction visited upon that tropical
Speaker 1: island by Marxist ideology and the terrors of total are
Speaker 1: in communism and build the Blasio. That big goof gets
Speaker 1: up and quotes Je Gavara Jevara, who still is a
Speaker 1: figure that the left is beloved and left, even though
Speaker 1: he used to set up the guys for the firing
Speaker 1: squads and horribly persecuted political dissidents. Uh, persecuted Gaze was
Speaker 1: a really bad guy, really really bad guy. But the
Speaker 1: left still, you know, it's kind of like they're they
Speaker 1: still have, you know, a little bit of fondness for
Speaker 1: Karl Marks, and I think a lot of left is
Speaker 1: still have a little soft spot for Stalin too. I'll
Speaker 1: be honest with you. It's there there, che Guvara. That
Speaker 1: did not do well for build the Blasio. So at
Speaker 1: least there there was not as much pandering in Spanish
Speaker 1: language last night, if I recall, I did not see
Speaker 1: as much of that. You do not have Corey Booker,
Speaker 1: who was like, uh, komo esta you know Mayamo quote,
Speaker 1: I don't know how speaks better. How do you say
Speaker 1: my name Mayamo? That's right, yeah, Mayamo or Booker. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's the king of awkward. Thanks Cory bartacast I know
Speaker 1: I know Natalan, it's mik Yamo that's you know, mik
Speaker 1: Yama Buck. I don't know if you said Nikiyama Buck,
Speaker 1: They're like, what is that? It's not a name. All right,
Speaker 1: Now back to the debate. We had some interesting stuff
Speaker 1: going on here Kamala Harris. When Kamala had her big
Speaker 1: night last night, everybody was all Kamala because the media
Speaker 1: has been waiting for We'll get into some Kamala stuff
Speaker 1: in the next hour. We have Jesse Kelly's gonna join
Speaker 1: us later on the show. He's buddy of mine, and uh,
Speaker 1: he's he's been a very early um because he's a
Speaker 1: very early proponent of Kamala Harris's. We have to like
Speaker 1: watch with Jesse and Jesse, you're a married man, you
Speaker 1: gotta watch what you say. Yeah, he's a fan. He's
Speaker 1: a big fan of kamalas always always has been. Um.
Speaker 1: Look I was I used to say sometimes, you know,
Speaker 1: I thought christin Cinema had her moments, you know, in
Speaker 1: that race too, But I don't know he's he's a
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. He's a Kamala Harris fan. So uh, here's
Speaker 1: here's what Kamala said, though, when when we you had
Speaker 1: the same question post the first night, you had them
Speaker 1: all ask what's the biggest threat, and at least four
Speaker 1: of the ten said climate change, which in a world
Speaker 1: where you have radical Islam arising China, nuclear weapons, I
Speaker 1: would even take if somebody said that they thought the
Speaker 1: biggest threat to this country was a pandemic. Pandemic disease
Speaker 1: at least there's a historical precedent for that, killing forty
Speaker 1: million people in the twentieth century, So I would say
Speaker 1: that that's you know, that might not keep you up
Speaker 1: and now or now, but if you talk to anybody
Speaker 1: who knows anything about pandemic disease, they would say that,
Speaker 1: I actually, we're kind of due for one. And it
Speaker 1: would with the with the with the way our transportation
Speaker 1: system works now, and the density population density we would
Speaker 1: get if we had a flu virus that was true,
Speaker 1: that was at a high lethality rate, I mean, it
Speaker 1: would be very bad news. So that would be like,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that would be the answer. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: that's an answer that a non crazy person can give
Speaker 1: or opioids. Opioids as a national emergency. Absolutely, we're losing
Speaker 1: seventy thousand people a year. You think about a huge
Speaker 1: packed football stadium full of people who will not be
Speaker 1: here next year, who were lost to their families, many
Speaker 1: of them lost in their late teens, in their early twenties.
Speaker 1: That's a crisis. These are thank you mine for the opioids.
Speaker 1: These are the things that real people worry about. One
Speaker 1: of the one of what the defining characteristics the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party is they have so much focus. They look so
Speaker 1: much at things that normal people don't worry about. It
Speaker 1: doesn't keep me up late at night. If there are
Speaker 1: thirty seven genders on the application to college, or if
Speaker 1: there are two, there should be two. But if they
Speaker 1: want to do thirty seven, I mean, I guess crazy
Speaker 1: can be fun, but it doesn't really matter all that much.
Speaker 1: The things that really do matter they often put aside,
Speaker 1: where they have these these very vague and emotion driven
Speaker 1: responses about and then there there's the whole slew of
Speaker 1: immage issues that for the Democratic parties. So are they
Speaker 1: talk about voter suppression like it's happening with the voter
Speaker 1: suppression is the figment of their imagination. Oh, dark money
Speaker 1: in politics what does it even mean, Oh, the risk
Speaker 1: to our democracy, undermine our institutions? What who? Who's worried
Speaker 1: about this stuff? This isn't real. This is all just perception.
Speaker 1: This is manufactured in the swamp and in the media,
Speaker 1: mainstream media newsrooms, and in Hollywood. This isn't real. And
Speaker 1: then you get when you get to climate change, the
Speaker 1: fact that they've they've we're talking about a decoupled, nonlinear
Speaker 1: chaos system of global weather, and they think that that's
Speaker 1: the biggest that we can predict. It's the biggest threat
Speaker 1: we face. Even if some of their predictions are true.
Speaker 1: You know, Charleston, it's a great city. It's you know,
Speaker 1: losing some grout. You know, places have been losing ground
Speaker 1: to the ocean for a long time. Erosion happens. All
Speaker 1: this has been going on for all of history. But
Speaker 1: will adapt, It'll be okay, it's fine. There are ways
Speaker 1: to ways to figure this stuff out. We've overcome this before.
Speaker 1: You know, it would have been a rational position to
Speaker 1: say in the nineteenth century that human beings are going
Speaker 1: to outpace the food supply and they'll be mass starvation
Speaker 1: and die off until they then because they could not
Speaker 1: foresee genetically modified crops, and the advances and transportation and
Speaker 1: refrigeration and science and all. They couldn't foresee that. But
Speaker 1: they couldn't foresee that there are more and more people
Speaker 1: every year. We don't they know, these people that are
Speaker 1: all freaked out about climate change, they don't know what's
Speaker 1: gonna what the world is going to look like in
Speaker 1: five years, never mind fifty kind of technological breakthroughs that
Speaker 1: will be the way. You know, Yeah, at some point
Speaker 1: there will be clean energy when it's efficient and smart,
Speaker 1: and that's what people want, and that's what they're going
Speaker 1: to do. We're not going to be It's not gonna
Speaker 1: have to be forced on us because people will choose
Speaker 1: it because it is the right thing to choose. But
Speaker 1: we're not there yet. That's why when we talked about
Speaker 1: the greatest threats, you know, I mean, here's Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: answering that question about the greatest threat, and there are
Speaker 1: a bunch of Green New Deal or climate change is
Speaker 1: the biggest threat. I think the Green New Deal is
Speaker 1: the biggest threat in some ways. But here's what Kamala
Speaker 1: said for what is immediate and before us right now.
Speaker 1: That is why I support a Green New Deal. It
Speaker 1: is why I believe on day one and as president,
Speaker 1: will re enter us in the Paris Agreement because we
Speaker 1: have to take these issues seriously. And frankly, we have
Speaker 1: a president of United States. We talked about. You asked,
Speaker 1: but for what is the greatest national security threat to
Speaker 1: the United States? It's Donald Trump. And I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you why. And I'm gonna tell you why because I'd
Speaker 1: agree climate change represents an existential threat. He denies the science.
Speaker 1: President Trump is the greatest national security threat through this country,
Speaker 1: the sitting presid United States. This is such a reckless
Speaker 1: and stupid thing to say, and many Democrats say it.
Speaker 1: The most powerful Democrats in the country will say it.
Speaker 1: President Trump, meanwhile, has not started any wars, has not
Speaker 1: been bested in any major military crisis on the world stage.
Speaker 1: You know what, We have not been hit with a
Speaker 1: mass casualty terror attack while this president has been in office.
Speaker 1: So I just I would like to know, can we
Speaker 1: base our assessment of national security risk upon reality or
Speaker 1: this fantasy land? Because the reality based assessment would say
Speaker 1: this is a president who has avoided un necessary war,
Speaker 1: who has avoided politically driven escalation in war, zones, who
Speaker 1: has not risked all kinds of policy, decades of policy
Speaker 1: in some vain search for trying to, you know, have
Speaker 1: a national security legacy like Obama did with Iran. How
Speaker 1: he's the threat. If he's the threat, the establishment terrifies me.
Speaker 1: But this gets cheers, This gets applause from the left. No,
Speaker 1: remember this that the commander in chief who what was
Speaker 1: it now a week ago could have launched strikes that
Speaker 1: would have killed about one hundred and fifty people in
Speaker 1: Iran and possibly and there were experts and wanks and
Speaker 1: all saying, oh, yeah, you gotta do this. You gotta
Speaker 1: be tough, you gotta you know, you gotta smash Iran.
Speaker 1: They say, the man who said, I don't want to
Speaker 1: do that, I'm gonna walk back from Matt. Let's let's
Speaker 1: Iran didn't kill any Americans with this strike. Let's see
Speaker 1: if we can figure this out another way. They're going
Speaker 1: on a debate stage in front of tens of millions
Speaker 1: of Americans last night and saying that that guy, that
Speaker 1: commander in chief, is the biggest threat to our national security.
Speaker 1: These people are sociopaths, and they really have a problem.
Speaker 1: It's like they've learned nothing from Iraq and Afghanistan and
Speaker 1: the war on terror and what it really means when
Speaker 1: we do get involved in something that we either shouldn't
Speaker 1: be or that is not being managed well by the president,
Speaker 1: that not being managed well by the permanent bureaucracy. The
Speaker 1: cost of real people, the cost of people like you
Speaker 1: and me who are right now living in a country
Speaker 1: that is not in a state of constant war, that
Speaker 1: is not losing although we did lose two in Afghanistan
Speaker 1: this week. I keep saying, you know, when are we
Speaker 1: gonna When is it enough? Folks? When is it enough?
Speaker 1: But it's a conversation for another time. President Trump is
Speaker 1: the biggest national security set, a national security threat. Only
Speaker 1: people who are completely nuts or total liars would say this,
Speaker 1: But this is what all the Democrats basically say, Trump
Speaker 1: and climate change. If Trump and climate change keep you
Speaker 1: up at night, you are emotionally disturbed, that's the truth.
Speaker 1: We'll be back. The Republican Party likes to cloak itself
Speaker 1: in the language of religion. Now party doesn't talk about
Speaker 1: diet as much, largely for a very good reason, which
Speaker 1: was we are committed to the separation of church and state,
Speaker 1: and we stand for people of any religion and people
Speaker 1: of no religion. But we should call out hypocrisy when
Speaker 1: we see it. And for a party that associates itself
Speaker 1: with Christianity to say that it is okay to suggest
Speaker 1: that God would smile on the division of families at
Speaker 1: the hands of federal agents, that God would condone putting
Speaker 1: children in cages, has lost all claim to ever use
Speaker 1: religious language again. Vice President Pope Pete, as they're calling
Speaker 1: him now, he is a sanctimonious pain in the neck.
Speaker 1: First of all, No one says that God would smile
Speaker 1: in the separation of parents from their children. But does
Speaker 1: he have this degree of sanctimony When people who are
Speaker 1: involved in minor administrative infractions against the state that involve
Speaker 1: criminal penalties are separated from their families, People who are
Speaker 1: engaged inside trading, people who maybe do a little uh,
Speaker 1: you know, a little little business fraud of some kind,
Speaker 1: tax evasion, they get separated from their families. Is that
Speaker 1: the Democrats they smile on? But it's a strong man.
Speaker 1: No one says that the smiling. But I want to
Speaker 1: know for Mayor Pete, because he seems to like to
Speaker 1: invoke religious language sometimes when it suits him. In a
Speaker 1: very smug and annoying way. What does he think about
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party that now pretty much universally and across
Speaker 1: the board, believes that something that is in a woman's
Speaker 1: womb at nine months, that has a brain and a
Speaker 1: heart and yes, a soul, is not a human being
Speaker 1: and can be destroyed and ripped apart at will and
Speaker 1: should be paid for by the American taxpayer against their will.
Speaker 1: What does God smile? I want to know that I
Speaker 1: was so much, she asked Mayor Pete. Does God smile
Speaker 1: on planned parenthood? Mayor Pete? Do you like that? Did
Speaker 1: you tell God that it's a woman's choice. He's gonna
Speaker 1: do what she wants with her body. It's a constitutional right.
Speaker 1: All the nonsense, all the tall points, all the lies.
Speaker 1: Where's Mayor Pete on that one? You know you're going
Speaker 1: to use the religious language, Mayor peat You got to
Speaker 1: watch out, my friend. That can that stuff can come
Speaker 1: around to bite you. Oh and also, why do you
Speaker 1: have one of the worst murder rates of any city
Speaker 1: in the country in South Bend. In the end, I
Speaker 1: think that's a question that somebody should probably ask Mayor
Speaker 1: Pete at some point. So brilliant can't seem to stop
Speaker 1: the murder rate. There's a lot of talk in this
Speaker 1: primary about new government benefits such as student loan cancelation,
Speaker 1: free college, healthcare, and more. Do you think that Democrats
Speaker 1: have a responsibility to explain how they will pay for
Speaker 1: every proposal they make along those lines. Well, let me
Speaker 1: tell you something. I hear that question. But where was
Speaker 1: that question when the Republicans and Donald Trump passed a
Speaker 1: tax bill that benefits the top one percent and the
Speaker 1: biggest cooperation in this country, contributing at least a one
Speaker 1: trillion dollars to the debt of America, which middle class
Speaker 1: families will pay for one way or another. Working families
Speaker 1: need support and need to be lifted up, and frankly,
Speaker 1: this economy is not working for working people. I am
Speaker 1: proposing that we change the tax code so for every
Speaker 1: family that is making less than one hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 1: a year, they will receive a tax credit that they
Speaker 1: can collect at five hundred dollars a month. On day one,
Speaker 1: I will repeal that tax bill that benefits the top
Speaker 1: one percent. Just a big giveaway of money and free
Speaker 1: stuff and free, free, free and rich people. Bad and
Speaker 1: class warfare, and what a mess, What a mess it
Speaker 1: was last night hearing these Democrats talk about what they
Speaker 1: want to do and how they're going to do it. Well,
Speaker 1: the how is always very fuzzy, right, The how is
Speaker 1: always just a mishmash of well rich people and one
Speaker 1: percent and this and that. And she says that they're
Speaker 1: going to the GOP tax cut. How do you pay
Speaker 1: for a tax cut? This? This is the inversion of
Speaker 1: logic and the abuse of language that we always have
Speaker 1: to deal with when we talk about when we're talking
Speaker 1: about what the Democrats are proposing. You keeping more of
Speaker 1: your money is not paying for That's not a paying
Speaker 1: for anything. That's you keeping more of your money. We
Speaker 1: don't pay for tax cuts. Now, you can say we
Speaker 1: should not be running a deficit every year, and that's fine,
Speaker 1: but that's a separate part of that. That's a different
Speaker 1: approach to the issue than oh, we need to find
Speaker 1: a way to pay for it. Because you had a
Speaker 1: lot of money that went back to a lot of
Speaker 1: people under the tax cut, over eighty percent. And this
Speaker 1: is just this is a fact thing. Over eighty percent
Speaker 1: of people who paid taxes received a tax cut. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm somebody who really does get tired of Democrats pretending
Speaker 1: like the tax burden is not already owner in this country,
Speaker 1: because it is. You know, if you if you ever
Speaker 1: look at how much you pay in taxes, when you
Speaker 1: add it all together and you think about how many
Speaker 1: hours that means you are showing up to your job,
Speaker 1: and you are effectively sending all of that cash in
Speaker 1: an envelope to Uncle Sam. And if you're somebody who's
Speaker 1: working hard and working along hours, you know you're paying
Speaker 1: a lot more than you're getting back in services. With
Speaker 1: all of that going on, they still think that our
Speaker 1: taxes need to be higher. They still think that we
Speaker 1: have to pay more of our fair share, whatever that means.
Speaker 1: It's just it just drives me nuts. But you know,
Speaker 1: this is what they're really all about. Class warfare, the
Speaker 1: removal of individual responsibility away from people. You know, you
Speaker 1: can't you have no economic mobility, you can't raise yourself up,
Speaker 1: you can't make better decisions to improve your lot in life.
Speaker 1: It's on the government to do this. You know, the
Speaker 1: language that they use is very instructive. An economy that
Speaker 1: works for everyone. The economy doesn't work for you. You
Speaker 1: work in the economy and the problems with their economy
Speaker 1: tend to come from government intervention and regulation, not just
Speaker 1: the way things happen to be because of the free market.
Speaker 1: You know, the government. And this is why if you
Speaker 1: haven't read it, I mean, I do recommend the Road
Speaker 1: to Serfdom by Hyak, which I know Glenbeck, my old
Speaker 1: mentor and boss, very much popularized some years ago. But
Speaker 1: Hyak just walks you through how with every government action
Speaker 1: in a market, there are additional things that happen. There
Speaker 1: is a there is an imbalance that occurs because the
Speaker 1: government does tells you has to do this thing, and
Speaker 1: then something else happens, and then the government says when
Speaker 1: they're going to fix that imbalance, and then they do
Speaker 1: something else, and they do something else. With market intrusion
Speaker 1: comes more market intrusion, and they always want to fix
Speaker 1: what they've done in the first place to create those dysfunctions,
Speaker 1: and they don't fix it, they just create more dysfunction.
Speaker 1: This is why you want the absolute minimum of market interference,
Speaker 1: because the way the way that we have our economy
Speaker 1: set up, and the genius of the American system is
Speaker 1: that you benefit from good decisions, responsible behavior, being law abiding,
Speaker 1: thinking about the future and trying to work with work
Speaker 1: within the system that we have as as productively and
Speaker 1: effectively as you can, and you will benefit from that
Speaker 1: at different levels. Look, would it be nice if I
Speaker 1: were born to, you know, a family that had a
Speaker 1: billion dollars and I didn't have to ever worry about Yeah? Sure?
Speaker 1: Is it fair that there are people that are born
Speaker 1: into really wealthy families while while other people are not. No,
Speaker 1: it's not fair, but it is what it is. We
Speaker 1: have to deal with the real world, with private property,
Speaker 1: with the imbalance of luck and talent. Look, a huge
Speaker 1: part of success is luck. I mean, that's one I
Speaker 1: wish Republicans would make, would make more of a case
Speaker 1: of this, just so that because what Democrats suggest all
Speaker 1: the time is, oh, but you know, if someone's doing
Speaker 1: really well there, they must have cheated and they must
Speaker 1: be greedy. Now they don't think that about people who
Speaker 1: are Democrats who are really rich, of course, but they
Speaker 1: say this in general terms. There's this bad other people,
Speaker 1: the bad rich people out there. They're greedy and they
Speaker 1: have things, and they have too much. This is the
Speaker 1: class warfare, the envy streak that is so central to
Speaker 1: the Democrats into their whole ideology. I would like to
Speaker 1: see Republicans not just make the case that you know,
Speaker 1: this is a country where you have so much good
Speaker 1: that comes from individual ingenuity and hard work, and that
Speaker 1: we have the companies we do and the economy we
Speaker 1: do and the advances we do because people benefit from it. Right.
Speaker 1: If you want to see what happens when we're all
Speaker 1: just doing it for the common good and no one
Speaker 1: benefits individually, go see what the Soviet Union was like.
Speaker 1: But because we do have incentives for individuals, we all
Speaker 1: benefit as a result, and we all can benefit too.
Speaker 1: But also there's luck involved in it. Not everyone it's
Speaker 1: going to be a millionaire, folks. You can play your
Speaker 1: cards right, do everything the way you're supposed to do.
Speaker 1: Not everyone's going to be a millionaire. And a lot
Speaker 1: of people say, yeah, I don't even want to be
Speaker 1: a millionaire. And there's there's some very interesting studies out
Speaker 1: there about how you know you need depending on where
Speaker 1: you are, you know you need a certain amount of
Speaker 1: money to meet your needs, and money does make you
Speaker 1: markedly happier up to that level. And I think at
Speaker 1: a national level it's something like seventy thousand dollars. You
Speaker 1: know that when you make when you're making fifty and
Speaker 1: then you make sixty, that extra ten grand I mean,
Speaker 1: you really feel that that really helps when you're making
Speaker 1: a sixty and then you make seven. But once you
Speaker 1: get up to seventy, it starts to level off a
Speaker 1: little bit. And I think the seventy number. Don't don't
Speaker 1: hold me to that, but it's something like that, once
Speaker 1: you get up that seventy number, you know, okay, well,
Speaker 1: now you make eighty, it's nice MC ninety, it's not
Speaker 1: you know, and you go up the ladder, and it
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily make you happier. It might make you more
Speaker 1: financially secure, but it doesn't make you happier, and that's,
Speaker 1: you know what we're not. I think part of the
Speaker 1: problem here is that what the Bernie Sanders, you know,
Speaker 1: millionaires of billionaires. It's like, yeah, you can tax the
Speaker 1: millionaires and billionaires all you want, it's not gonna make
Speaker 1: everybody else a millionaire. It's not gonna make everybody else
Speaker 1: feel like they're way ahead of things, and they're just
Speaker 1: crushing it in life. So they're tapping into this sense
Speaker 1: of envy and resentment and they're not replacing it with
Speaker 1: anything that's gonna make your life better. If I thought
Speaker 1: that single payer and Medicare for all was going to
Speaker 1: make the lives of people listening to this radio show easier,
Speaker 1: your bills would be easier to pay, and you'll be happier.
Speaker 1: I would tell you that if I really believe it,
Speaker 1: but I can. What I can tell you is that
Speaker 1: the problems that I see in our healthcare systems are
Speaker 1: the incentive structures that are in place, that are being
Speaker 1: constantly undermined and pushed aside in favor of this redistributionist
Speaker 1: someone else is going to pay for it. Healthcare is
Speaker 1: a human right, nonsense. If you want to see who
Speaker 1: the bad guys are now in the healthcare system, it's
Speaker 1: not a lot of the insurers are actually nonprofits, which
Speaker 1: people forget they took all the insurance company profits. Insurance
Speaker 1: company profits are pretty slim. If you want to know
Speaker 1: where you get r Ekt wrecked in the healthcare system now,
Speaker 1: it is hospital systems. Hospitals will ring you out and
Speaker 1: leave you with nothing. And even if you have insurance
Speaker 1: and you have increasingly you have all this consolidation because
Speaker 1: of the bureaucratic costs and Obamacare and all this stud
Speaker 1: the regulation, all this stuff so that doctors get bought
Speaker 1: up by these hospital systems. This is I was when
Speaker 1: I was traveling in China. I was with a number
Speaker 1: of surgeons. I was talking about this. Doctors get bought
Speaker 1: up by these hospital systems. So now you're going to
Speaker 1: see your specialist in the hospital. But the moment you
Speaker 1: need real hospital services, you are just getting. This is
Speaker 1: where you see the crazy stuff where you know, an
Speaker 1: advilla is like forty bucks, and you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm something I speak of what I know. I went
Speaker 1: into an emergency room, didn't even get seen by a doctor.
Speaker 1: They took my blood pressure and my temperature and sent
Speaker 1: me a bill for a thousand dollars that my insurance
Speaker 1: did not pay for it. And though I had insurance
Speaker 1: and I was at a hospital that was in my
Speaker 1: network because it was not no inductible You wanner, who's
Speaker 1: being greedy? That's now the hospitals would turn around and say,
Speaker 1: but Buck, we have to we have to see anyone
Speaker 1: who shows up the AR. We gotta treat all the
Speaker 1: illegals who come into the AR. We gotta treat all
Speaker 1: the people that you know, we're on Medicaid, and you
Speaker 1: know there's all these other Yeah, exactly, but this is
Speaker 1: not the market that's not working. These are mandates from
Speaker 1: the government. But no, just just tax people more. Just
Speaker 1: tax them more. That's gonna fix it. It's gonna fix
Speaker 1: the whole thing. You know, say, oh, look at Canada.
Speaker 1: Canada has like less people in the state of California.
Speaker 1: Do you think we're going to create a national healthcare
Speaker 1: system in this country that's going to function efficiently? I mean,
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, whole thing is that you're gonna save more money.
Speaker 1: You know, you're you're gonna get more even though you're
Speaker 1: paying more in taxes because the system is gonna better.
Speaker 1: That's just crazy, that's not true. But the government all
Speaker 1: of a sudden is going to be efficient. The government's
Speaker 1: going to provide you with better services. Has he ever
Speaker 1: dealt with the government before me? The guy works in
Speaker 1: the government, You think he'd knows something about it. Lies
Speaker 1: on top of lies, misdirection and just counterintuitive. You know,
Speaker 1: the things they're saying are not true, but they will
Speaker 1: keep saying them. And COMLA just suggests that, you know,
Speaker 1: all we have to do is tax the rich more.
Speaker 1: They'll pay for everything. You know who the rich are, folks.
Speaker 1: You everything I've done in my career, I ran because
Speaker 1: of civil rights. I continue to think we have to
Speaker 1: make fundamental changes in civil rights. And those civil rights,
Speaker 1: by the way, include not just some way African Americans,
Speaker 1: but the LGBT community. But Vice President Biden, do you
Speaker 1: agree today? Do you agree today that you were wrong
Speaker 1: to oppose busing in America? Then do you agree I
Speaker 1: did not oppose busing in America. What I opposed is
Speaker 1: busing ordered by the Department of Education. That's what I opposed.
Speaker 1: Is not a failure of states to integrate public schools
Speaker 1: in America. I was part of the second class to
Speaker 1: integrate Berkeley, California public schools almost two decades after Brown,
Speaker 1: by Board of Education. Because your city council made that decision.
Speaker 1: It was the federal government must stem in. That's why
Speaker 1: we have and the civil rights. That's why we need
Speaker 1: to pass the Equality Act. That's why we need to
Speaker 1: pass the RA because there are moments in history where
Speaker 1: states fail to preserve the civil rights of r That
Speaker 1: was the moment, folks, that was when the the ambush
Speaker 1: was unleashed. The trap had been set. It was very
Speaker 1: It's very clear to me at least that Kamala was
Speaker 1: planning on going after Biden all night. That this was
Speaker 1: not this was not something that just organically happened. But
Speaker 1: I've been I've been telling you all along, and this
Speaker 1: is not difficult analysis to do. I think this is
Speaker 1: this is pretty clear and widely widely understood, widely believed
Speaker 1: that there are really two main pathways here to the nomination.
Speaker 1: There's the establishment path and there is the progressive or
Speaker 1: left wing socialist path. Now you might be saying, but Buck,
Speaker 1: even the establishment Democrats are yeah, I know, but within
Speaker 1: their own crazytown left wing universe, there's different levels of
Speaker 1: left wingness of left wing adherents, how far left you are,
Speaker 1: and you have really the race is on the one
Speaker 1: hand between Warren and Warren and Bernie Sanders for the
Speaker 1: progressive nomination, and then you have on the other side,
Speaker 1: the realistic options for the establishment pathway are people like Buddha, Judge,
Speaker 1: Biden's obviously a very top of the list, Corey Booker, Kamala,
Speaker 1: Harris and Dad and then everybody else really who's in
Speaker 1: this whole thing at this point, they're just there to
Speaker 1: get some national level attention. And you know, no one
Speaker 1: including Eric Swalwell, thinks Eric Swalwell is going to be president.
Speaker 1: I think that's that's very obvious. But this moment where
Speaker 1: you had Kamala go after Biden, this had been brewing
Speaker 1: for a while. The media had been a part of this.
Speaker 1: They had they had run, they had really given a
Speaker 1: lot of oxygen to the story about how Biden said that. Remember,
Speaker 1: he didn't praise and so there's a little bit of
Speaker 1: a disingenuous or dishonesty in the way this has all
Speaker 1: been set up. He didn't praise segregationists per se. He
Speaker 1: said he was able, he was able to work with
Speaker 1: everybody in the Senate across the aisle, even at a
Speaker 1: time when there were people like that. So he's essentially
Speaker 1: saying I was able to be an effective senator while
Speaker 1: there were segregation to the Senate, no segregationist or gross
Speaker 1: and and you know it's find a totally take them
Speaker 1: to task for for what they were so very wrong on.
Speaker 1: But Biden wasn't saying, oh, these segregationist guys were great.
Speaker 1: That's not what he said. But that's somehow what the
Speaker 1: media narrative and that's certainly what Kamala Harris was suggesting
Speaker 1: at some level that that that's really what he was saying,
Speaker 1: or that he was implying it or suggesting it. And
Speaker 1: this was the real moment that you knew, and I've
Speaker 1: been telling you all along, Biden is not the guy.
Speaker 1: All right, He's not going to be there guy. He's
Speaker 1: he's a third tier Democrat presidential candidate. He was in
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, he is still now. Biden is
Speaker 1: not the guy. But you know, he would have had
Speaker 1: to really come back and have something special because what
Speaker 1: what what Harris did was essentially in one fell swoop
Speaker 1: show that Biden's old, out of touch, been around forever,
Speaker 1: and it's basically a boring, old white dude who says
Speaker 1: whatever he has to say to stay in the good
Speaker 1: grace as the Democratic Party at any time, and it's
Speaker 1: time for it's time to move on. That's really what
Speaker 1: she was able to do, and she she went for it.
Speaker 1: She was not met. And also he's not woke. He
Speaker 1: doesn't understand social justice, he doesn't understand all this left
Speaker 1: wing stuff. You know, this this left wing ideology that's
Speaker 1: constantly mutating. And Biden had a moment to go back
Speaker 1: and try to right the ship. And here's how that went,
Speaker 1: play seven thirty seconds because I want to bring other
Speaker 1: right from the very beginning. I'm the guy that extended
Speaker 1: to Voting Rights Act for twenty five years. Anyway, give
Speaker 1: my time's up on thank president. Yeah, that was that
Speaker 1: was kind of whipped dog mode there for Biden. He's like, Oh,
Speaker 1: let's just let's just get out of here. Let's just
Speaker 1: get out of here, you know what it was Sometimes
Speaker 1: and you know, I do a lot of things on aerage,
Speaker 1: a lot of TV and radio, and sometimes you can't
Speaker 1: really your thought process. Sometimes you can't really stay away
Speaker 1: from you know, what you're thinking. And that whole well,
Speaker 1: my time's up. That was Oh man, that was rough.
Speaker 1: Kamala went forward and she may have put herself in
Speaker 1: a position. Now Now the journos love Kamala and always have,
Speaker 1: so that's not that's not a surprise. They're gonna try
Speaker 1: very hard to help her move because that's what the
Speaker 1: last night for her was, just to put a move
Speaker 1: on Biden. Now she's hoping that she has momentum and
Speaker 1: starts chipping away at his leading the polls. Because once
Speaker 1: that begins. I don't think Biden. Biden has no political
Speaker 1: skills to speak of. Really, he can't turn this around.
Speaker 1: He's a swamp creature who you know, gets the votes
Speaker 1: he needs to win in Delaware. He's been around in Delaware.
Speaker 1: He's got name recognition, and you know, he is very
Speaker 1: corporate friendly and does what he has to do to
Speaker 1: get things done in Delaware. But he's not a national
Speaker 1: level political figure. He's a vice president. Did anybody think that, oh,
Speaker 1: because you know, well, I was going to say to
Speaker 1: anything that al Gore should really be president. Apparently some
Speaker 1: people did, which they should be really it. They should
Speaker 1: really think twice about that one. Now they should really
Speaker 1: have to give a long explanation for how that was possible.
Speaker 1: But yeah, but it's not going to be Biden. That's
Speaker 1: one of my most and you know it's true. It's
Speaker 1: one of my most confident predictions along. It's not gonna
Speaker 1: be Biden. So Harris, she sees her lane now after
Speaker 1: what happened last night, which for her is a big move,
Speaker 1: even if people didn't think that she necessarily won the debate.
Speaker 1: I'd like to say something about the debate we had
Speaker 1: last night, and I heard and I listened to and
Speaker 1: I respect Senator Harris, but you know, we all know
Speaker 1: that thirty seconds to sixty seconds on a campaign debate
Speaker 1: exchange can't do justice to a lifetime committed to civil rights.
Speaker 1: I want to be absolutely clear about my record a
Speaker 1: position on racial justice, including busting. I never, never, never,
Speaker 1: ever opposed voluntary buses and as a program that Senator
Speaker 1: Harris participated it and it made a difference in the
Speaker 1: leg I did support federal action to address root causes
Speaker 1: segregation in our schools and our communities, including taking on
Speaker 1: the banks and red lining and trying to change the
Speaker 1: way in which neighborhoods were segregated. I've always been in
Speaker 1: favor of views in federal authority to overcome state initiated segregation.
Speaker 1: I don't think that he necessarily turned it around, folks,
Speaker 1: because showing up after the debate and trying to clarify
Speaker 1: your position can often feel a little bit like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't get like a TakeBack. See here, you don't
Speaker 1: get a mulligan. It's not they caught in golf producer
Speaker 1: Mike when you go again, right, yes, yes it is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: why they got to pick on the Irish guy hey,
Speaker 1: Am mulligan. Um, But yeah, No, I think I think
Speaker 1: Biden realized that, you know, he got kind of he
Speaker 1: got his clock lean a little bit last night. In fact,
Speaker 1: over at CNN, which still considers itself a news network.
Speaker 1: A B. Stoddard went after took Biden to task a
Speaker 1: little bit. I think I think she was correcting this stuff.
Speaker 1: I think that he had a terrible night, and I
Speaker 1: think he has a lot of vulnerabilities that he will
Speaker 1: be reminded of. He protected the credit card companies, he
Speaker 1: supported segregation. He is a physical space invader. He laughs
Speaker 1: about it. He does not talk about his strength in
Speaker 1: the race, which is that people are terrified and they
Speaker 1: want to get rid of President Trump, and they believe
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden is the only person who will be
Speaker 1: ready to clean up the mess that President Trump has made.
Speaker 1: He didn't talk about that last night. He doesn't say
Speaker 1: this is no time to take a chance. I'm the
Speaker 1: only one on the stage who can ABC and D.
Speaker 1: He just sat there looking terrified of his own twenty
Speaker 1: nineteen Democratic Party. And if he does that again in
Speaker 1: the next debate, he's going to lose. Oh, He's gonna
Speaker 1: lose no matter what. I actually feel a little I
Speaker 1: have mixed emotions about what happened last night with Biden, because,
Speaker 1: on the one hand, I think it proved what I've
Speaker 1: been saying all along. This guy's out of touch. He's
Speaker 1: not somebody that's in line with this new, woke, really
Speaker 1: psychotic Democratic Party. I mean, he's a guy who used
Speaker 1: to be he was a a sanctimonious left of center pragmatist.
Speaker 1: But he did take a pragmatic approach to things. You know,
Speaker 1: he likes big business, he likes getting corporate donations. You know,
Speaker 1: in the in the AOC infused Democratic Party, there's really
Speaker 1: not much of a room for guys like there's not
Speaker 1: much room for guys like Biden, and there's not gonna
Speaker 1: be room much longer at all for any of them.
Speaker 1: And you know, Biden forgets that he's part of a
Speaker 1: political party now where apologizing for white maleness is considered
Speaker 1: a thing you have to do. You have to apologize
Speaker 1: for your white maleness. If I were a Democrat, I
Speaker 1: have to walk around like I am so sorry that
Speaker 1: I'm white and I'm male, and I'm like I can't
Speaker 1: change it. I'm like really sorry about it. But that's
Speaker 1: what I have to do. You got to bend the
Speaker 1: knee and say, man, it's it's really uh, there's no
Speaker 1: way I can make it up to you America. But
Speaker 1: I am white and I am mail, and I accept
Speaker 1: that that means that there's all the kinds of bad
Speaker 1: things that I'm responsible for or whatever. That's the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party that Biden's trying to maneuver through right now, and
Speaker 1: I just don't think it's going to work for him.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's I don't think it's going to happen.
Speaker 1: He also is very friendly with credit card companies, and
Speaker 1: I just credit card companies are very powerful, and they
Speaker 1: get away with stuff that other people wouldn't. They There
Speaker 1: was this whole thing for a while where they used
Speaker 1: to move around the date on people of when they're
Speaker 1: of when their payment was due, and they would just
Speaker 1: move the date and they'd give some you know, some
Speaker 1: probably mail modification or whatever, and then if you didn't
Speaker 1: pay on the new date, if you were, you know,
Speaker 1: a day late, then they kick up your APR or
Speaker 1: like thirty percent or whatever it is. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: really it was really fraudulent, and a lot of credit
Speaker 1: card companies were doing this until just a few years ago,
Speaker 1: and they never were really called out and punish for it.
Speaker 1: It's also a lot harder to get rid of credit
Speaker 1: card debt now that it used to be and discharge it.
Speaker 1: So you know, there's real Biden is vulnerable on this stuff.
Speaker 1: It's true, he's very vulnerable in all of this. And
Speaker 1: I've I've known all along that he the moment that
Speaker 1: Democrats realize that he's not the safe choice, because that's
Speaker 1: what they've been thinking all along, though, the moment that
Speaker 1: they understand that Joe Biden is really just a relic
Speaker 1: of a of a bygone Democratic Party, they're going to
Speaker 1: turn on him. And that's that's what's been happening. And
Speaker 1: the media has been preparing for this all along, you know.
Speaker 1: But by my the reason that I feel a little
Speaker 1: bit of two much about this is it's nice to
Speaker 1: be right, but I was very confident. I mean, I
Speaker 1: I love the matchup of Biden against I don't care
Speaker 1: what the pull say. I love the matchup of Biden
Speaker 1: against Trump because you know, you look at the states
Speaker 1: that are really going to matter and the people that
Speaker 1: are that are undecided and all that, and I just
Speaker 1: think that you're there's no way that give in the
Speaker 1: power of the incumbency and the success that President Trump
Speaker 1: has had so far, there's just no way that Joe
Speaker 1: Biden would be able to come up with a really
Speaker 1: effective messaging campaign for why it should be him instead
Speaker 1: of Trump, because ultimately that's what it is. Ultimately, that's
Speaker 1: what it is. And yeah, he looked, he also attired. Man,
Speaker 1: There's there's nothing about him that is or was compelling.
Speaker 1: And then there's just Ted Cruz. By the way, I
Speaker 1: think he had a good He had a good moment
Speaker 1: on this. He wasn't on the debate stage. He's a Republican,
Speaker 1: but here's what he said about last night, and I
Speaker 1: think it's a good way to it's a good overview
Speaker 1: of what happened at twelve. Speaking of debates, how many
Speaker 1: of y'all watched the Democratic debate last night? I thought
Speaker 1: i'd turned on Comedy Central. You know, there's actually a
Speaker 1: medical term for what's happening to the Democratic Party right now.
Speaker 1: It's called stark raving nuts. Ted Cruz probably shouldn't quit
Speaker 1: his day job as a comedian, but he's right in
Speaker 1: his analysis, which is the Democratic Party I think did
Speaker 1: seem like it was just spinning off into another planet,
Speaker 1: and not just Mary Ann Williamson, who will talk more
Speaker 1: about who it's just Oh man, wow, if you haven't
Speaker 1: seen her, it's worth going back just to watch her
Speaker 1: answers in that debate. We'll be right back. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: we haven't talked more tonight about how we're going to
Speaker 1: beat Donald Trump. I have an idea about Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is not going to be beaten just by
Speaker 1: insider politics talk. He's not going to be beaten just
Speaker 1: by somebody who has plans. He's going to be beaten
Speaker 1: by somebody who has an idea. What this man has done.
Speaker 1: This man has reached into the psyche of the American people,
Speaker 1: and he has harnessed fear from political purposes. So, mister President,
Speaker 1: if you're listening, I want you to hear me. Please.
Speaker 1: You have harnessed fear for political purposes, and only love
Speaker 1: can cast set up. So I, sir, I have a
Speaker 1: feeling you know what you're doing. I'm going to harness
Speaker 1: love for political purposes. I will meet you on that field,
Speaker 1: and sir, love will win. I think she wants to
Speaker 1: hug the president, Mike. I think of all the wacky
Speaker 1: stuff last time Mary Williamson. I mean, she's you know
Speaker 1: that I interviewed her, did you really yeah? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I interviewed her down in DC. And did she give
Speaker 1: you a hug? I thought no, But I would have
Speaker 1: let her. I thought that I was gonna be able
Speaker 1: to get some real questions in that would at least
Speaker 1: four should give a real answer. But she is. When
Speaker 1: you talk to her, it's like all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you hear wind chimes, you smell incense, there's you know,
Speaker 1: like a light breeze coming in the window, and then
Speaker 1: like maybe Lilith Fair music comes on, you know, Sarah
Speaker 1: McGlaughlin and and and then you just find yourself falling
Speaker 1: into this craziness coma. You know, we're just like whatever.
Speaker 1: Where those one of those hipster sandals? I'm drawing a
Speaker 1: blank on the name. What Birkenstock. Yeah, they swear marking stocks.
Speaker 1: It's not a hipster those are those are what boomers
Speaker 1: wear with socks stocks. There are a couple of Birkenstocks
Speaker 1: wears listening to the show right now. I know who
Speaker 1: you are, I know where you are. I had to
Speaker 1: get my dad to get rid of his burken Stocks
Speaker 1: like ten years ago. But he loved them. He was.
Speaker 1: I feel like he still has them hidden in his
Speaker 1: closet somewhere because they are they are very comfy. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a real nineties nineties kind of grunge hippie
Speaker 1: thing for a while. But Marian Williamson was was entertaining
Speaker 1: for sure. She was entertaining in part because she is
Speaker 1: just about his substantive in some of her answers. A
Speaker 1: lot of the other Democratic candidates up there, she really
Speaker 1: is not the She's not the only one that just
Speaker 1: is like, yeah, I just want to like make all
Speaker 1: the people like better and the cool and like things
Speaker 1: will be great. I just want to give hugs to everyone.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be amazing. So she was. She was a
Speaker 1: bit on the on the entertaining side. You know. The
Speaker 1: big beef today was Yang. They said that they didn't
Speaker 1: that that NBC cut his mic in the debate and
Speaker 1: that there was essentially debate foul play going on, and
Speaker 1: hashtag let yang speak has been trending on at least
Speaker 1: on my Twitter all day. Have you seen this? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I heard about dude yang Is. I like people who
Speaker 1: have ideas that are real ideas that they can put
Speaker 1: forward and we can discuss. You know, I'll say this
Speaker 1: about Yang in his I think his ideas wouldn't work
Speaker 1: in practice. I think there's some huge flaws in them.
Speaker 1: But he's not he's not trying to become like a
Speaker 1: fascist dictator for the left. That's he's not really trying
Speaker 1: to do that. And you get with some of these
Speaker 1: other types, you know, they scare me. I mean, Elizabeth
Speaker 1: Warren would look you in the eye after you had
Speaker 1: lost your house because there needed to be redistribution of
Speaker 1: wealth and you couldn't afford the taxes to pay for
Speaker 1: the house anymore to pay for all the other people's stuff,
Speaker 1: and you look in the eye and saying, well, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but this is what fairness is. I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're a white male, sucks for you.
Speaker 1: You're you're on your own. So you know, I think
Speaker 1: that Yang at least is better than He's better than that.
Speaker 1: He doesn't scare me same way. But you know, if
Speaker 1: you if you want to know what really the whole
Speaker 1: the whole thing yesterday was about feelings, but also one
Speaker 1: other thing, taxes. And they talked about this in the beginning,
Speaker 1: and it was so clear to me. You know, this
Speaker 1: kind of brings this closes the loop on the on
Speaker 1: the whole debate because it was so obvious that Bernie Sanders,
Speaker 1: for example, when he's asked about taxes, didn't want to
Speaker 1: talk about taxes, didn't want to discuss tag because it's
Speaker 1: so much more fun. It's it's gotta be free. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be free here, it's gonna be free, Death's gonna
Speaker 1: be free everywhere. And you say, well, hold on a second, burnster.
Speaker 1: You know, Berner mcbernstein, what's going on here? How are
Speaker 1: you gonna pay for all this stuff? And you know,
Speaker 1: NBC did ask some real questions and this is one
Speaker 1: of the moments when they asked a real question of him.
Speaker 1: And here's what he said. Play clip too. Senator Sanders,
Speaker 1: I give you ten seconds just to ask the answer,
Speaker 1: the very direct question, will you raise taxes for the
Speaker 1: middle class? In the Sanders administration, people who have healthcare
Speaker 1: on the Medicare for All will have no premiums, no deductibles,
Speaker 1: no co payments, no out of out of pocket expenses. Yes,
Speaker 1: they will pay more in taxes. That's not Medicare. So
Speaker 1: what is what is Bernie Sanders really talking about what
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders is proposing. For those who know what they're
Speaker 1: talking about and those who are really paying attention, what
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders is proposing is that we take the part
Speaker 1: of the budget that is currently on an unsustainable footing
Speaker 1: that is way too expensive, and that is a pretend,
Speaker 1: a pretend paid for program, but is really just paid
Speaker 1: for by future generations. It's just running up America's credit
Speaker 1: card all the time and saying somebody else will pay,
Speaker 1: which is Medicare. What he's saying is, let's do this
Speaker 1: program for everybody, and let's make it even more expensive
Speaker 1: than it is, as in, there will be no cost sharing,
Speaker 1: there'll be no paying of premiums. They'll just be the
Speaker 1: government paying for everything. And this will cause a calamity
Speaker 1: in the healthcare system because one of the you know,
Speaker 1: there are folks you know you just think about the
Speaker 1: way this works in your own life. You get sick.
Speaker 1: You you know, you think, oh, you know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe I have maybe I have strep throw Maybe I
Speaker 1: don't you know. If you're me, perhaps you're a little
Speaker 1: of a hypochondriac, you think, oh, but you know, strep throat.
Speaker 1: It could be really bad. You can get some kind
Speaker 1: of I think you get some kind of weird fever
Speaker 1: from it, and which is true, you can if it
Speaker 1: lingers and gets bad. But you know, I'm like, I
Speaker 1: don't really want to go to the doctor. It's going
Speaker 1: to cost me with my co pay, you know, a
Speaker 1: one hundred bucks to see a one hundred bucks or
Speaker 1: eighty bucks or something. So I'm gonna wait a day
Speaker 1: or two. Oh dare two comes by. It looks like
Speaker 1: I'll be okay. You got to You gotta make these
Speaker 1: kinds of decisions about your healthcare all the time, right,
Speaker 1: Do I want to go see a specialist? Well, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe this maybe I'll rub some dirt on it and
Speaker 1: they'll just you know, the swelling will go down on
Speaker 1: my knee and I'll see how it goes. You know,
Speaker 1: people make these decisions all the time. If you can
Speaker 1: just go to the doctor, just think about it this
Speaker 1: way for a second. If you just go to the
Speaker 1: doctor and you pay nothing, you pay nothing, Think about
Speaker 1: the effect that that's going to have on how much
Speaker 1: and how frequently people go or how quickly and how
Speaker 1: frequently people go to the doctor, and they're not expanding
Speaker 1: the medical profession right now there. In fact, the people
Speaker 1: that I know who work in medicine are pretty actively
Speaker 1: discouraging other people from getting into it. So how do
Speaker 1: you know, how do you deal with this? How do
Speaker 1: you expand care? Not just coverage? Right? Coverage is a
Speaker 1: promise to pay for care. And what they're saying here
Speaker 1: is that they're going to give coverage to everybody. But
Speaker 1: that just means the government's going to be stuck with
Speaker 1: the bill, which means we're all stuck with the bill
Speaker 1: for each other. But how do you make it so
Speaker 1: that there's a greater pool of healthcare service to give
Speaker 1: to people, so that then you can stay up with
Speaker 1: the demand? Right here, fundamentally, the things that Democrats reject
Speaker 1: supply and demand. They think that the laws of economics,
Speaker 1: if you have a compelling enough case, if you're tier
Speaker 1: eyed enough when you're trying to, you know, get one
Speaker 1: thing or another thing going, they really believe that, you know,
Speaker 1: it doesn't it doesn't work, or doesn't it doesn't go anymore,
Speaker 1: And they're just wrong. They are just fundamentally wrong about this.
Speaker 1: But they never learn the lesson. They never understand that
Speaker 1: being earnest and really wanting something to be a certain
Speaker 1: way does not mean it will be that way, does
Speaker 1: not mean that it will work the way you wanted to.
Speaker 1: And you cannot suspend the laws, the basic laws of
Speaker 1: economics just because you give a our respeech and say
Speaker 1: that something's a human right or we all have a right.
Speaker 1: Really we all do. We all have a right to
Speaker 1: see the best you know, the best doctors in the
Speaker 1: city or the best doctors in the country. How's that
Speaker 1: going to work. It's not hard to figure out who
Speaker 1: the really highly respected, highly sought after doctors are, especially
Speaker 1: when you're talking about things like surgery, and does everybody
Speaker 1: Does everybody get to see the best doctor in the country? Okay,
Speaker 1: how do you make that supply available? You know, it
Speaker 1: would be nice if everybody could live in a mansion.
Speaker 1: Why doesn't everybody live in a mansion? We have the technology,
Speaker 1: we have the ability to create mansions for everyone, but
Speaker 1: why don't we because we have limited resources, limited building material, etc.
Speaker 1: So there you have it. Marian Williamson was interesting, though,
Speaker 1: I'll give her credit for that. She's like, I just
Speaker 1: think that if we build the Love rocket ship and
Speaker 1: we go to Mars, we can find the Martians and
Speaker 1: show them our love together and that will save America.
Speaker 1: And everyone's like, what, this lady's crazy, But I kind
Speaker 1: of like that. I kind of like the crazy that
Speaker 1: she's putting out there. Her level of crazy is is Wow,
Speaker 1: it's at least it's at least entertaining. She's the She's
Speaker 1: the kookiest of all the Democrats. She's the kind of
Speaker 1: Kucinich of this cycle. Except Kucinich wasn't he was he
Speaker 1: was weirder in his own way. I think it isn't
Speaker 1: his daughter on CNN now, am I? Yeah? I think so?
Speaker 1: All Right, it's good to have a famous last name.
Speaker 1: He get jobs in media pretty easily. All Right, we'll
Speaker 1: be right back. All right, So what really happened last night?
Speaker 1: I've been telling you what I think, but I want
Speaker 1: to I want to bring in somebody for a second opinion.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to a doctor of politics, of life
Speaker 1: of the Keto diet. Mister Jesse Kelly joins us now.
Speaker 1: He is the host of The Jesse Kelly Show, which
Speaker 1: is on KPRC down in Houston, a wonderful iHeart radio affiliate.
Speaker 1: You can follow Jesse on Twitter. Mister Jesse Kelly sir,
Speaker 1: good to have you, this, good to be here. I
Speaker 1: love post debates. There's nothing more fun. Yeah, we just
Speaker 1: get to lean into it. So I gotta I gotta
Speaker 1: ask you this man. You know you and Kamala. People
Speaker 1: that know you know that you and Kamala have a
Speaker 1: little something special. You know that you you've been You've
Speaker 1: been on the Kamala train, not politically, but on a
Speaker 1: personal level. You are pro Kamala and have been for
Speaker 1: a while. So did you have any Inklina, any inkling?
Speaker 1: Rather that that she was going to decide that it
Speaker 1: was time to suplex Biden off the top turnbuckle. Couple
Speaker 1: of things. One, yes, I've been on the kamalad wagons
Speaker 1: for a long time because she's smoking Bill Pop and
Speaker 1: everybody knows it, but nobody wants to admit it. And
Speaker 1: I value looks above everything else, as most Americans do.
Speaker 1: But two, I actually predicted this yesterday on my show
Speaker 1: in all seriousness. She is a former DA people forget
Speaker 1: that about her. She's the right age to run for office,
Speaker 1: she has the right look to run for office. And
Speaker 1: please don't and everybody yell, I mean, I know she's
Speaker 1: a communist. I don't agree with her politics at all,
Speaker 1: but she is She speaks very well, she has a
Speaker 1: great voice, She comes off well on camera. And I
Speaker 1: predicted this last night. I said, you watch somebody, probably
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is going to take a big shot at
Speaker 1: Joe Biden during the Democrat debate in night too, because
Speaker 1: they had to buff You couldn't let the front runner
Speaker 1: again go an entire night without taking any shots. And
Speaker 1: so she made all of a sense in the world
Speaker 1: to be the one who was going to slip the
Speaker 1: knife into his ribs, and she did it, and she
Speaker 1: did it really well. Do you think that she now
Speaker 1: has has taken has put herself on the pathway to
Speaker 1: take the establishment lane. Oh? Absolutely. I think the nominee
Speaker 1: is going to be her or Elizabeth Warren, shockingly, but
Speaker 1: I would bet it will be one of those two people.
Speaker 1: And Joe Biden is too old, and nobody likes to
Speaker 1: say that because they're one has such reverence, understandably so
Speaker 1: for old people. But the bottoms at some point you
Speaker 1: get too old to climb out everest, and at some
Speaker 1: point you get too old to run for president. And
Speaker 1: he's not the same guy he was for eight years
Speaker 1: under Obama. He's old and slow, he looks tired. People
Speaker 1: like Harris are over twenty years younger than him, and
Speaker 1: they're full of PEPs. And look, they're gonna come for him.
Speaker 1: You can't survive as the front runner with twenty other
Speaker 1: candidates for a nine month primary. They're just gonna pick
Speaker 1: you to pieces like a pack of hyenas. Who last
Speaker 1: night to you? Jesse seemed the least crazy on that stage,
Speaker 1: because I think that's really the you have to come
Speaker 1: at it from that perspective. Who's because they're all different
Speaker 1: levels of crazy or at least fraudulent and slightly insane,
Speaker 1: But who was the least crazy? Yang? I think Yang
Speaker 1: see it. That was the first time I realized he's
Speaker 1: relatively unknown. To be honest, he's relatively unknown to me.
Speaker 1: And even though he had all these ideas that I
Speaker 1: thought were absolutely winged that crazy, he comes off like
Speaker 1: somebody who's actually put some thought into them. He has
Speaker 1: ideas that he does think will help the American people.
Speaker 1: So many of the others either came off really angry,
Speaker 1: like Bud Bud Guck I can't say his name ever,
Speaker 1: or rehearsed. I mean as good as Kamala Harrison. I
Speaker 1: thought that came off completely rehearsed. You know, she did
Speaker 1: that line in the mirror ten thousand times. Yang came
Speaker 1: off like a young, entrepreneurial, wealthy guy who has ideas
Speaker 1: to six things. I don't like his ideas, but he
Speaker 1: came off like a dude I'd have a beerless yeah.
Speaker 1: You know. I think it's funny too, because Yang is
Speaker 1: the he's kind of this outlier guy, and people act like,
Speaker 1: ooh Yang, like he's this radical. He actually stands up
Speaker 1: there and is like, here's the problem, here's what I
Speaker 1: would like to do about it. One of the things
Speaker 1: that really struck me about all these democrats on that
Speaker 1: stage last night is they just say stuff and you're like,
Speaker 1: you know, well, Pete Buddha, judge or whatever. He was
Speaker 1: supposed to be so smart when he's asked what the
Speaker 1: biggest thing is that he would do. I would fix
Speaker 1: our democracy. That's a stupid thing to say. What does
Speaker 1: that even mean? Like Yang says, I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get rid of the welfare state, but just give everybody
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars a month. Everybody gets a thousand dollars
Speaker 1: a month, you do with it what you will? You
Speaker 1: spend that money how you want. You know, you can
Speaker 1: say that's crazy, but that's a real thing. I will
Speaker 1: fix our democracy. This is what somebody who just finished
Speaker 1: the bikini competition says when they're hoping to get a crown.
Speaker 1: Well it's somebody without the media scrutiny. Now, don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong. What I'm about to say. I think has
Speaker 1: shifted to Kamala Harris after last night. But for so long,
Speaker 1: Pete but a gag or whatever. I he was the
Speaker 1: Barack Obama of this race. You remember, Barack Obama had
Speaker 1: so much good graces, He had a paper sin resume,
Speaker 1: he had virtually no solid stances on the issues, but
Speaker 1: because he was the first black candidates, the media felt
Speaker 1: the need to prop him up. But a gig gets
Speaker 1: that same grace for being the first game anyone. He's
Speaker 1: white Obama, that's who. He launched a campaign with no
Speaker 1: issues page on his website, yet a page to sell merchandise. Well, look,
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's a guy though that I will
Speaker 1: heat like he does. He's a he's a veteran Rhodes scholar,
Speaker 1: So I think that he's he's got the resume thing
Speaker 1: going for him in a way that none of these
Speaker 1: other Democrats really. I mean, yeah, they've been in office
Speaker 1: and whatever, but they didn't like, there's nothing about these
Speaker 1: Democrats like, oh, that person's like super smart, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, Joe Biden's just been around forever, and yes,
Speaker 1: he's part of the LGBT community. So there's there's clearly
Speaker 1: a diversity component that Democrats get excited about. But he
Speaker 1: wasn't the only one. I mean, there were a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of candidates who last night were giving these answers,
Speaker 1: and it really was like what you'd expected a beauty pageant.
Speaker 1: It was, you know, like I just want world peace,
Speaker 1: but instead of that, it's I just want a green economy,
Speaker 1: Like this is this is un serious, Like this is
Speaker 1: the thing that I'm looking at it at least Yang
Speaker 1: not to like get on the Yang gang too much here,
Speaker 1: but at least Yang is like, this is what I
Speaker 1: think we should do. You could do that thing, whether
Speaker 1: it's a good idea or not. As a whole separate
Speaker 1: conversation with the Democrats, for the most part of that stage,
Speaker 1: we're just saying was we're just gonna make everything I mean,
Speaker 1: mary Anne Williamson in a sense is actually the distillation
Speaker 1: of the modern Democratic Party because it's all feelings and emotions. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I love her, but that was the first time I've
Speaker 1: ever seen her speak, and after last night, I am
Speaker 1: on the Maryanne Williams to the train. I absolutely love
Speaker 1: that insane woman. I hope she's in every single debate
Speaker 1: from now on. But here's the question, Buck, I don't
Speaker 1: want to bring everybody down on a Friday, but this
Speaker 1: Friday night, everyone's getting ready to get off work. But
Speaker 1: isn't that what we are now as an elector? In book?
Speaker 1: I mean, even on the left and the right, aren't
Speaker 1: we all slogans now? Or what's Donald Trump's slogan? And
Speaker 1: I love the Donald Trump's residency. I think he's been great.
Speaker 1: I'm not ripping on the guy. But what's the slogan
Speaker 1: everyone does make America's great again? Are we really above
Speaker 1: the six our democracy as the slogan? Of course? For not?
Speaker 1: Do people want solutions? But I don't know how many
Speaker 1: people want to be told you're two fact, you should
Speaker 1: stop beating so much. Not many people want to hear that.
Speaker 1: That's that's Jesse. This is the This is the great
Speaker 1: ideological separation between conservatism and the left these days. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't like saying liberal really because they're not about liberty,
Speaker 1: and it's really a misnomer, and I think it's intentional,
Speaker 1: it's misdirection. But the great separation ideologically between left and right.
Speaker 1: All it really comes down to the left is just
Speaker 1: telling you that all of your bad choices or all
Speaker 1: of the things that are unfortunate your life, you have
Speaker 1: no control over it. It's not your fault. It's someone
Speaker 1: else's fault. It's actually the right's fault usually, and the
Speaker 1: right says, look like, nothing is perfect, but we're going
Speaker 1: to try to set up some rules of the road
Speaker 1: here so that if you make good decisions you get
Speaker 1: rewarded for it. That's it. That's it. It's not more
Speaker 1: complicated than that. So you and I watched these debates differently.
Speaker 1: I mean, the truth of the matter is people who
Speaker 1: were probably googling the heck out of Pepa a gig
Speaker 1: in Kamala here has posted that debate. I mean, I thought,
Speaker 1: no matter how rehearsed, it all came off. That's what
Speaker 1: they're looking for for the post part. You remember people
Speaker 1: passing out at Obama's rallies and saying he was more
Speaker 1: to pay their mortgage and put gas in their car.
Speaker 1: People believe this insane stuff, especially people who bump Democrats
Speaker 1: who had the it was Biden, the one you had
Speaker 1: the worst night last night? Oh yeah, Well, I because
Speaker 1: I think Bernie. I think Bernie looked very Bernie was
Speaker 1: lucky that Warren wasn't there to be a direct comparison,
Speaker 1: because Bernie just just like an old man yelling about
Speaker 1: stuff all the time. It really he did not come
Speaker 1: across as the you know, they always wanted to be
Speaker 1: kind of the cuddly socialist that's gonna just give you
Speaker 1: Ben and Jerry's ice cream while he pays for your healthcare.
Speaker 1: That didn't. That didn't really translate. But Bernie's already done.
Speaker 1: So I guess I didn't consider him having a bad
Speaker 1: night because I consider him already done. His one shot
Speaker 1: was last time the DNC screwed him and his supporters
Speaker 1: out of it, and they will never be back. Frankly,
Speaker 1: he doesn't even look like a man who believes he's
Speaker 1: going to be back. He looks like a guy who's
Speaker 1: putting out ideas that the other candidates will try to
Speaker 1: one socialist up him. Four. Biden unquestionably had the worst
Speaker 1: night because look, you don't have to kill God. If
Speaker 1: you fight him, you just have to cut him. And
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris cut him and cut him deep last night.
Speaker 1: He's the guy who's had the luxury of having this
Speaker 1: hugely the entire primary mister untouchable. Everyone knows who he is.
Speaker 1: And he emerged wounded, not dead, but severely wounded. And
Speaker 1: you watch now, they're gonna swarm him. They all smell blood.
Speaker 1: They're gonna swarm him and rip him to pieces. Now,
Speaker 1: so you really, you're you're feeling at this point is
Speaker 1: that it's either Kamala or Warren. I think that's obvious.
Speaker 1: I think it's easily Kamala or Warren. I would give
Speaker 1: but a jig an outside shot, just because I feel
Speaker 1: like the media is so ready to back him if
Speaker 1: he can make any noise. But other than that, I
Speaker 1: think it's a two woman race. And look, we'll see,
Speaker 1: we'll see what it turns out. Today we have one
Speaker 1: thank Indian and one real one. We'll see. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was thinking so interesting because you know, we all spend
Speaker 1: all this time thinking about that the polls and the
Speaker 1: and the way that they're affected or not affected by
Speaker 1: these debates. Uh, the general consensus from the people that
Speaker 1: just crunch the numbers is that debates really don't move
Speaker 1: this stuff that that much. Usually it's not how it works. Oh,
Speaker 1: they only move it for politicos, but for it's the
Speaker 1: politicos who vote in primaries, and they certainly help people
Speaker 1: who were going for name idear. That's the thing. I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: my dad doesn't pay attention to politics, and before last
Speaker 1: night he didn't know who Kamala Harris was, just because
Speaker 1: you and I nern out on this stuff day in
Speaker 1: and day out. These debates are all about the front
Speaker 1: runner not hurting himself, which he did, and the no
Speaker 1: neighbors getting a name, which only a couple of them did.
Speaker 1: Before we let you go, Jesse, what are Jesse Kelly's
Speaker 1: weekend summer freedom tips for people? What do they need
Speaker 1: to do this weekend to make sure they get the
Speaker 1: most out of their days off the pool? Everybody needs
Speaker 1: to go to the pool. I didn't know why everyone
Speaker 1: has all these kids out there go to the gym
Speaker 1: and diet and all that other stuff. That's what suckers do.
Speaker 1: If you can't tone it, tann it, just get down
Speaker 1: to the pool for an hour, get a little tan.
Speaker 1: Everybody looks better when they're tan. Jesse Kelly, everybody, Jesse Kelly,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us here on the
Speaker 1: Bucks Section show. Jesse Kelly, KPRC Houston. We'll be right back. Well,
Speaker 1: the president of himself, she couldn't demn it, admit that
Speaker 1: it happened, which I think sixteen of intelligence agents have
Speaker 1: already agreed to say. And there's no doubt that the
Speaker 1: Russians did interfere in the election. And I think the interference,
Speaker 1: although not yet quantified, if fully investigated, would show that
Speaker 1: Trump didn't actually win the election in twenty sixteen. He
Speaker 1: lost the election and he was put in the office
Speaker 1: because a Russians interfere on his behalf. So do you
Speaker 1: believe President Trump is an illegitimate president? Face on what
Speaker 1: I just said was, I can't retract. I think that
Speaker 1: it's it's one thing for us, you know, it's easy
Speaker 1: to just pick on Jimmy Carter's he was an ineffective,
Speaker 1: weak president. Now he's an old man and say, oh,
Speaker 1: he's just Jimmy Carter mouthing off. But the truth is
Speaker 1: there you have a former president of United States who's
Speaker 1: publicly saying the current president United States is illegitimate, which
Speaker 1: is ineffect that he's not really the president. That's a
Speaker 1: dangerous thing to be sharing. That's a dangerous thing to
Speaker 1: be saying. And I when I say dangerous, I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about physically dangerous, but although theoretically that could be,
Speaker 1: that could be a problem too. But I just mean,
Speaker 1: if we're going to have, on the one hand, all
Speaker 1: these sanctimonious libs lecturing us about the need to defend
Speaker 1: our democracy and all this other stuff, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: have them talking about how we're going to restore democratic norms,
Speaker 1: and I wish that they would stop saying things that
Speaker 1: are demonstrably provably false that the president was doing this,
Speaker 1: or that the Russians did this at the direction of
Speaker 1: the president. And you know, he's today, he's out at
Speaker 1: the he's at the G twenty summit, and he had
Speaker 1: a meeting with Putin and report. It's just there's such
Speaker 1: babies about this stuff. They always take the base, They
Speaker 1: cannot help themselves. They always just decide, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: it's President Trump. And he said Putin and Putin and
Speaker 1: you know, they completely freak out, and they understand that
Speaker 1: Trump knows they're gonna freak out. Trump knows this is
Speaker 1: going to happen. He understands that this is the reality
Speaker 1: of the press cord that he's working with. So he
Speaker 1: says things that any normal person would be like, all right,
Speaker 1: he's just kind of messing with them, you know, He's
Speaker 1: just he's trying to have a little bit of of
Speaker 1: a go with them, and they can't help themselves. They're,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, he's doing Putin's bidding again. They get
Speaker 1: so upset about it. Calm down, press, really, enough is enough? Well, uh,
Speaker 1: here's Trump telling Putin, don't meddle in the now. You
Speaker 1: can't hear it all that well, but he says, don't
Speaker 1: meddle the election. Play play seventeen. You kinda don't. Don't
Speaker 1: meddle an election. I mean, he's like this, but see,
Speaker 1: you know, he's doing it one to poke at the
Speaker 1: press a little bit. But also they act like him
Speaker 1: telling Putin not to meddle. You know, they'll complain to me,
Speaker 1: you're never even told not to meddle in our elections.
Speaker 1: He can tell them at all day. Putin's gonna go
Speaker 1: home to the country where he is the sovereign, where
Speaker 1: he's running the show, and he's gonna do what he's
Speaker 1: gonna do. You know, having our president tell him, don't
Speaker 1: meddle in our election. Yeah, well guess what. They can
Speaker 1: have somebody do some cyber stuff and have plausible deniability
Speaker 1: and say that, oh, it's a rogue allument or whatever,
Speaker 1: and then yeah, we have the ability to do something
Speaker 1: about this or not. Remember, folks, the meddling was so severe,
Speaker 1: was so intense, was so pervasive that Obama was like, yeah, whatever,
Speaker 1: no big deal, Hilvery's gonna win anyway. That is the reality.
Speaker 1: That is what happened. Obama was getting briefed on this.
Speaker 1: The FBI knew about this, They were all spun up
Speaker 1: about it. And then when they brought it to Obombing,
Speaker 1: He's like, yoh, you know, it's not a big deal,
Speaker 1: because it's not a big deal. But then Trump won
Speaker 1: and then it became a big deal. But here's the
Speaker 1: you know, this is from the from the g twenty
Speaker 1: summit in Osaka. You had the New York Times in
Speaker 1: full freak out mode. Trump and Putin shared joke about
Speaker 1: election meddling, sparking new furer. Oh my gosh, Trump and
Speaker 1: Putin are joking about election meddling. They were having a
Speaker 1: good time, like old friends reuniting. They warmly shook hands, smiled,
Speaker 1: and chatted amiably, and then President Trump brushed off Russia's
Speaker 1: interference in American democracy with a joke as President Vladimir
Speaker 1: Putin chuckled. First encounter between mister Trump and mister Putin
Speaker 1: since the Special Counsel Robert S. Muller the Third reported
Speaker 1: that Russia conducted a sweeping and systematic operation to sway
Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen election, proved more convivial than confrontational. Rather
Speaker 1: than challenge mister Putin, mister Trump treated it as a
Speaker 1: laughing matter. What do they want him to do? Folks?
Speaker 1: What is there are sanctions on Russia? You know, we've
Speaker 1: they've put in place all these economic penalties. What is
Speaker 1: he supposed to do? What is acceptable to you know,
Speaker 1: to punch Putin in the nose, to curse at the
Speaker 1: leader of the Russian premiere. You know, if he did that,
Speaker 1: then they'd say that he's threatening nuclear war and he's
Speaker 1: a wild man, and he's out of control and all this.
Speaker 1: They just want to criticize the president. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: what he does. Trump says, Look, I got a good
Speaker 1: relationship with the guy. Play sixteen. There have many things
Speaker 1: to discuss, including trade and including some disarmament to some
Speaker 1: little protectionism, perhaps to a very positive way. And you
Speaker 1: we're going to suscuss a lot of different things. We've
Speaker 1: had great meeting here, has very very good relationship and
Speaker 1: we look forward to spending some very good time together.
Speaker 1: A lot of very positive things going to come out
Speaker 1: of the relationship. So Vladimir, thank you very much. Thank you.
Speaker 1: I don't know whom Vladimir, thank you very much. Guess
Speaker 1: what Obama said the Trent? You know that that he
Speaker 1: would have more flexibility after his election. The press didn't
Speaker 1: have a complete conniption fit and freak out then, but
Speaker 1: they freak out now because Russia, Russia, Russia. They're never
Speaker 1: gonna let it go. Hey, Team Buck, it's time for
Speaker 1: roll call Friday. In the summer, everybody, it is warm
Speaker 1: outside here in n y C. Let me tell you,
Speaker 1: Mark ree sweaty did on the subway. There's there's really
Speaker 1: no sweat like the subway. So I'm sweating in the
Speaker 1: winter on the subway. Man, you look around people in
Speaker 1: the subway platform. You're like, oh, are you gonna pass out?
Speaker 1: Because I might pass out. It was hot today. It's hot. Ye.
Speaker 1: I know. A lot of you're probably out by your pool,
Speaker 1: your nice big house, no neighbors around, blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: really nice, good for you. But here in New York City,
Speaker 1: stuck in the crush of folks all over all over
Speaker 1: this piece. It's very very very busy on the streets
Speaker 1: here in the NYC. All right, let's get into because
Speaker 1: you don't care because some of you are in New York.
Speaker 1: A lot of you aren't. Most of you aren't um,
Speaker 1: Facebook dot com, slash buck sex. And there's a way
Speaker 1: to kick it off for the weekend, because producer Mark,
Speaker 1: everybody's working for the weekend. I don't know if you,
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone gave you the memo. I
Speaker 1: have been given it. Everybody's working for the weekend. I
Speaker 1: do know the song. I know you're trying to make
Speaker 1: a young joke. Well it's not a if you're gonna
Speaker 1: call it out like a joke, dude, you know, come on,
Speaker 1: well I have to call you out for him. I
Speaker 1: know the team. The team always likes when you and
Speaker 1: producer Mike make sure that I keep the dad jokes
Speaker 1: to a minimum. All right, Christie's up here, Christie Wrights.
Speaker 1: Happy birth Oh, happy birthday, Happy Friday, Buck, It's a
Speaker 1: happy birthday too. If you want, let me start by saying,
Speaker 1: please keep the beard. It looks great and has always
Speaker 1: look forward to your take on democratic debate Number two,
Speaker 1: Socialist bonanza. It's become increasingly clear the Left lives in
Speaker 1: a fantasyland wherein only the government can save us. Troubles
Speaker 1: me the most is the value they place on victimhood.
Speaker 1: They have no time, no nor respect for people who
Speaker 1: value self reliance and personal responsibility, two major factors that
Speaker 1: converted me to conservatism. I currently work in the bureaucracy.
Speaker 1: I see firsthand how bloated and inefficient and deeply unfair
Speaker 1: it is relying so heavily on the government to solve
Speaker 1: one's problems. It's not only dumb, but frankly a dangerous idea.
Speaker 1: But how do you lure people away from the appealing
Speaker 1: notion that nothing is their fault They could always blame
Speaker 1: someone else. It is sad and frustrating, but my shield
Speaker 1: remains high have a great weekend, Christy proud member of
Speaker 1: the OSS or the original Saturday Squad. So we probably
Speaker 1: probably don't even know this. I used to do a
Speaker 1: show on Saturdays for three hours, twelve to three Eastern
Speaker 1: on the Blaze Radio network. That was how I got
Speaker 1: my start in radio. And I worked Monday through Friday
Speaker 1: plus Saturday radio or about eighteen months, and did not,
Speaker 1: in fact get paid to do that radio show at all.
Speaker 1: About eighteen months I was doing a radio show for free.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's how much I like radio. Check that out.
Speaker 1: It was not exactly great for my personal life. But
Speaker 1: are these are the choices we all make? Okay, Harry,
Speaker 1: Sorry high Bucks still catching up on the podcast this
Speaker 1: time due to using my Medicare benefits. I have no
Speaker 1: idea what my open heart surgery will end up costing me,
Speaker 1: but the government and supplemental insurance will cover what otherwise
Speaker 1: probably bankrupt me. I have, of course paid to Medicare
Speaker 1: during my entire working life, and as a previous role
Speaker 1: caller stated, am still paying monthly premium payments. It is
Speaker 1: not free. Like any insurance, you really hope to never
Speaker 1: have to actually file a claim. My wife is still
Speaker 1: covered under the Obamacare fiasco, and without the subsidy we
Speaker 1: qualify for, the monthly premiums are four or five times
Speaker 1: more than what I calculate we would pay for private otherwise.
Speaker 1: My guess is that I, perhaps most of the cardiac
Speaker 1: patients on the hospital recovery floor would not have been
Speaker 1: there at all under single payer. Left to our chances,
Speaker 1: under rationing, triage, prioritization, or whatever euphemism the socialists would
Speaker 1: come up with, who would be throwing whom over the
Speaker 1: cliff A. By the way, the care I received was
Speaker 1: world class, as opposed to reports of abysmal care at
Speaker 1: a local computing hospital. But I will probably ever be
Speaker 1: able to the general public otherwise or from the government,
Speaker 1: especially under nationalized healthcare. Keep up the good fight. Thanks
Speaker 1: for all you do for the conservative perspective. She'll tie Harry, Well, Harry,
Speaker 1: thank you for the in depth look at what it's
Speaker 1: like to actually use Medicare. Look. I have private health insurance,
Speaker 1: and I tell you that I try to not go
Speaker 1: to the doctor, and I rely increasingly on friends of
Speaker 1: mine who have mds to advise me around going officially
Speaker 1: to the doctor whenever possible. You know, that this is
Speaker 1: what ends up you create these informal networks because if
Speaker 1: you just show up, go through the test they want
Speaker 1: to put you through, submit to your insurance. I mean,
Speaker 1: I can't even tell you I went. You know, I
Speaker 1: went to have like my my ear looked at recently
Speaker 1: for something, and I got a bill for like five
Speaker 1: hundred bucks. Like what am I doing this for? It's
Speaker 1: just crazy because my insurance doesn't you know. Anyway, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna sit here and bore you with my insurance stories,
Speaker 1: but it's the same thing. For this is why when
Speaker 1: when Kamala, when she wasn't trying to curb stomp good
Speaker 1: old Joe Biden. You know, when Kamala talking about five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars deductibles, she's really talking about Obamacare. That's what
Speaker 1: Obamacare is a five thousand dollars deductable. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: I think that's something that at least I think some
Speaker 1: of them go up to six or seven thousand, which
Speaker 1: when you start to think about it, if you put
Speaker 1: aside as a healthy young person, if you started putting
Speaker 1: aside whatever your Obamacare premium is, which is going to
Speaker 1: be I think probably a few hundred dollars a month,
Speaker 1: and you put that aside into a very basic interest
Speaker 1: bearing account and then just save that up into you know,
Speaker 1: and then into your thirties and into your forties. You
Speaker 1: have so much more money and all you need is
Speaker 1: catastrophic insurance. But this all requires people making choices, preparing
Speaker 1: for the future and saving and things that folks just
Speaker 1: don't want to do. Everyone wants to Everyone wants the
Speaker 1: government to hold them, hold them close, nuzzle them, keep
Speaker 1: them safe and warm. Yeah, Sheldon, sorry, I needed some
Speaker 1: iced coffee there. Some people tell me, you know that,
Speaker 1: you know that they needaly. I just found us out
Speaker 1: in Italy. You're not a supposed to a drink a
Speaker 1: coffee with a milk after ten o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 1: You know this, Mark? Did you know that? You're all
Speaker 1: you have a cup of china first thing in the morning,
Speaker 1: the way you is like a breakfast, but you'll know,
Speaker 1: a drink of the coffee after ten am. I don't
Speaker 1: drink the coffee at all. You don't drink the coffee
Speaker 1: at all? What's up with that? More of a nice
Speaker 1: tea kind of guy. You're an iced tea guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't like the taste. You know, I never you know,
Speaker 1: people always ask me, because I have Celiac disease, to say,
Speaker 1: do you miss beer? I'm like, no, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm I know, I know this is so anti American.
Speaker 1: It's it's like I'm saying I'm a communist. But I've
Speaker 1: never really liked the taste of beer. I've never really
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. You know, it's an acquired taste. I didn't
Speaker 1: like it at first, so I like it. I never
Speaker 1: I never really got into it, and I am man.
Speaker 1: In college, I drink a little too much beer. I
Speaker 1: got a beer belly. Sheldon writes, Hey, buck sorry I'm
Speaker 1: late on this comment, saying that I love the team,
Speaker 1: but I'm very happy to keep their input to row call.
Speaker 1: Limit the calls please. Oh and your wonderful show keeps
Speaker 1: me warm and safe at night, Sheldon. Thank you, Sheldon.
Speaker 1: Your wonderful note keeps me warm and safe at night,
Speaker 1: and I appreciate it. Oh, Jeremy a man, Jeremy writes
Speaker 1: in Bucket, hurts my heart and soul to write this,
Speaker 1: but I have to give the ever so slightest hat
Speaker 1: tip to CNN. They have an article on their website
Speaker 1: fact checking the DNC debate last and they appear to
Speaker 1: be actually calling balls and strikes. Some of the fact
Speaker 1: checks are questionable, but at least they're making an attempt
Speaker 1: to not be straight up left wing Hills Shields, h Jeremy, Jeremy. Look,
Speaker 1: if CNN is doing that, I haven't seen this article.
Speaker 1: I find it hard but not impossible to believe. If
Speaker 1: CNN is doing that, well, then maybe CNN deserves a
Speaker 1: little pat on the back before I give it a
Speaker 1: big kick in the butt. Here's what I will tell you, though,
Speaker 1: don't confuse their newfound willingness to criticize with a real objectivity.
Speaker 1: You have to remember that we're in the primary now,
Speaker 1: and the different journalistic outlets and different journalists on a
Speaker 1: person to person level have their own people that they want,
Speaker 1: They have their own candidates that they are interested in,
Speaker 1: and so when they're gonna call people out right now,
Speaker 1: I mean what you saw last night with Kamala, the
Speaker 1: media gets all excited. The media really wants it to
Speaker 1: be Kamala, but the polls are with Biden, so you know,
Speaker 1: they're hoping that they can push Kamala into that establishment
Speaker 1: lane and she becomes the Democratic party's choice, and she's
Speaker 1: a minority female, and you know that all these things
Speaker 1: happen the Democrats really want to happen. But they're not
Speaker 1: criticizing or turning their backs on Biden out of fairness.
Speaker 1: They're turning their backs on Biden because they love Kamala Moore.
Speaker 1: You see, it's a different thing. It's not, oh, we're
Speaker 1: going to criticize Democrats now because we are truly willing
Speaker 1: to be open to whatever in this process. They're criticizing
Speaker 1: Democrats now because there are some Democrats that they like more.
Speaker 1: So that's a different That's a different thing that I
Speaker 1: believe we all need to be aware of. Let's see
Speaker 1: Kathy buck Love the show, Cathy, the Show Loves You.
Speaker 1: On the subject of free college, a lot of kids
Speaker 1: go to college on their parents' dime. This doesn't inspire
Speaker 1: them to attender even graduate. Our government's going to pick
Speaker 1: up the tuition tab. Where's their incentive to graduate coming from?
Speaker 1: I think if this insanity comes to fruition unlikely. I
Speaker 1: know the child should be on the hook for the
Speaker 1: entire bill plus the interest, and be forced to make
Speaker 1: restitution if they drop out or don't maintain good grades.
Speaker 1: Is it possible to scare responsibility into a generation that
Speaker 1: can't put down the darned controller, the video game controller,
Speaker 1: walk up from their parents' basement steps, walk out into
Speaker 1: the sun and apply themselves your thoughts. Well, Cathy, you
Speaker 1: know it's you're talking about such a large group of
Speaker 1: people with so many different stories, and you know the look,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of folks who are I think,
Speaker 1: very clearly doing the right thing and paying off their loans.
Speaker 1: And you know, there are a lot of people that
Speaker 1: took loans out it was the right move for them.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is it's a personal decision. It's but
Speaker 1: here's what it really needs. We need to understand that
Speaker 1: the higher education at the college level is a is
Speaker 1: a luxury and is a commodity that not everyone should
Speaker 1: or not everyone should go to college for four years.
Speaker 1: This is not something that everyone needs to do. And
Speaker 1: if you go, you've got to think of it like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I would love to own an apartment, right
Speaker 1: I'd love to own a home. I don't own a
Speaker 1: home in New York City because they're very, very expensive
Speaker 1: and I think the market is very high right now.
Speaker 1: And if I were to save up and buy a
Speaker 1: home in New York City, I might lose my equity
Speaker 1: very quickly in a market downturn. So I'm making a choice. Right.
Speaker 1: If I decided to buy a starter home somewhere in
Speaker 1: the New York in the Tri state area, and I
Speaker 1: put down, you know, twenty percent of whatever that house
Speaker 1: would be, and then the market corrected, I would not
Speaker 1: expect the government to repay me for that lost equity
Speaker 1: because I'm making a decision. And you know, individual responsibility
Speaker 1: is something that we can't if we're going to have
Speaker 1: an orderly and prosperous and really just an amazingly successful society,
Speaker 1: which buy and large is what we have in America.
Speaker 1: We have to continue with a culture of individual responsibility
Speaker 1: as much as possible. But that's not sexy in a
Speaker 1: political way. That doesn't get people excited. All right, we
Speaker 1: got more role call in just a moment. Stay right there,
Speaker 1: it's time for roll call. It's time for roll call.
Speaker 1: But producer, Mike, you go into the beach this weekend.
Speaker 1: What do you got tell me some things? No beach
Speaker 1: this weekend. My Irish skin can't take it. Me too, man,
Speaker 1: I'm one of these people that goes to the beach
Speaker 1: and then I just sit there and just put the
Speaker 1: block all over, you know, spray that block everywhere, and
Speaker 1: then I want to be in the shade. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I want to view of the ocean. I want to
Speaker 1: be close to the ocean, but I want to be
Speaker 1: in the shade because my skin gets I get crispy
Speaker 1: like bacon. Yeah I do. I'm the same way. But
Speaker 1: um I do. Am going in August, which is probably
Speaker 1: gonna be hotter than now, which is probably a bad move.
Speaker 1: But um, I just got back from San Diego where
Speaker 1: I was spoiled that Sandigo's nice as Yeah, it's beautiful. Lah, yeah,
Speaker 1: tell living it up, you know. Yeah, Bruce and Mike,
Speaker 1: we we always appreciate hearing your stories of life in
Speaker 1: the fast line. Yeah. So, uh, we have a few
Speaker 1: more roll calls. We'll get to here, David, right, Hey, Buck,
Speaker 1: just try to watch when they see us about the
Speaker 1: Central Park five. I only made it through the first
Speaker 1: thirty minutes straight propaganda trying to make the police look
Speaker 1: bad and the black community look like it was victimized.
Speaker 1: But in a current context, nineteen eighty nine NYC was
Speaker 1: very different than twenty nineteen NYC. I'm torn because I
Speaker 1: enjoy much of Netflix content, but these propaganda pieces are
Speaker 1: extremely destructive to our society as a whole. Look at
Speaker 1: the Jesse Smallette situation, obviously constructed to try to make
Speaker 1: Trump supporters look like demons. It's really sad to see
Speaker 1: that's the current state of our society. Take care and
Speaker 1: keep up the good fight. Well, you know, David, I've
Speaker 1: been saying this. I mean New York. New York was
Speaker 1: a city that really felt like from a from the
Speaker 1: perspective of just dealing with crime, it was a city
Speaker 1: under siege. It was it was out of control. You
Speaker 1: people were walking around with a constant sense of anxiety
Speaker 1: on the streets because bad things would just happen. And
Speaker 1: it turned around. It it feels like a miracle here.
Speaker 1: But it turned around because there was a change in policing,
Speaker 1: and it's really a change in the political will to
Speaker 1: just say, if you do bad things, we don't care
Speaker 1: who you are, what you look like, where you come from.
Speaker 1: If you do bad things, you break the law, You're
Speaker 1: going to be punished. You cannot you cannot have an
Speaker 1: orderly and safe society where people are being told that well,
Speaker 1: if they do bad stuff, it's not their fault, that
Speaker 1: someone else's fault. And that was the general, you know,
Speaker 1: lib mentality for a long time that it was there
Speaker 1: was some root cause, it was never the fault that
Speaker 1: the people that were doing the bad stuff. And then
Speaker 1: you get into broken windows theory and all this other
Speaker 1: stuff that comes along with that too. But yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it's uh when they see us is straight up propaganda.
Speaker 1: You know when we had Anne on yesterday and she
Speaker 1: was talking about how there was one kid who had
Speaker 1: a fake ID and was questioned at sixteen even though
Speaker 1: he was fifteen, but they saw his fake He had
Speaker 1: chalked his ID to make him seem older, and you
Speaker 1: know that the cops were questioning him and the mom
Speaker 1: comes in and they make it seem like, you know,
Speaker 1: this is somebody who clearly, you know, you had a
Speaker 1: fake ID. They didn't make the fake ID that and
Speaker 1: they make it seem like it was some trick that
Speaker 1: the district attorney was pulling. Keep on the disc attorney
Speaker 1: wasn't even there the night of the questioning. Oh. Another
Speaker 1: thing that you would like to it that I wish
Speaker 1: was in the movie was the blacked at detective who
Speaker 1: picked up one of the one of the Central Park five.
Speaker 1: Williamson I believe was the name of the suspect, and
Speaker 1: then the person who was convicted on one of the
Speaker 1: Central Park five and or Richardson, not Williamson, Richardson, and
Speaker 1: what he said what he said would have been I
Speaker 1: think a particularly interesting part of it, which was that
Speaker 1: he admitted to grabbing a woman and no one knew
Speaker 1: that this kid had even been involved with anything like that.
Speaker 1: That's quite a coincidence for the people that want to
Speaker 1: explain this away, that's quite a coincidence that somebody would
Speaker 1: admit to being a part of a rape when the
Speaker 1: detective at that time in that car, the call had
Speaker 1: not gone out over the radio. He did not know
Speaker 1: there had been a rape in the park, but that
Speaker 1: kid knew. It seems strange to me, doesn't it right.
Speaker 1: It seems like a weird thing for him to say,
Speaker 1: unless he But people want to believe what they want
Speaker 1: to believe. There's still some people that believe is crazy
Speaker 1: theories about how OJ is not guilty. I meanless people
Speaker 1: are not very bright, but there are people out there
Speaker 1: who believe that. So that's a crazy world we live in. Mike,
Speaker 1: great show. Thanks for filling the filling the void. You're
Speaker 1: the only one I enjoy listening to now, aside from
Speaker 1: the British guy that fills in for Rush. I think
Speaker 1: he's actually Canadian. Thank you. I enjoyed black Rifle coffee
Speaker 1: every morning. Shield Taie, isn't Mark Stein from Canada? Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: but he's he's got. I can't even do his accent.
Speaker 1: He's fine, I've got. I can't do it at all.
Speaker 1: His accent is funky. He's lived all over the world,
Speaker 1: so I think his like people who have, you know,
Speaker 1: lived all over the world. It's sort of like accents.
Speaker 1: It's foreign Anko man helways, your favorite foreign anchor man
Speaker 1: or whatever. Yeah, that's pretty good. Apt I don't buy
Speaker 1: time in Australia's good like that. I got skills, all right,
Speaker 1: everybody have a fantastic weekend, Shield Tai
