WEBVTT - Elijah Cummings Vs. President Trump, Day 2 0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:15.600 You are entering the Freedom Hunt. We're just hours away 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:19.800 from the second Democrat Debate. We're going to talk about 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:23.840 expectations from the left and the socialists and all the 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:27.160 rest of it. We'll also talk about Trump doubling down 0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:31.440 on his feud with Representative Commings over Baltimore. That and 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.840 much more coming up on The buck Sexton Show. This 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.320 is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:44.400 is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:48.240 no mistake American, You're a great American. Again the buck 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:59.640 Sexton Show begins. No, Welcome to the buck Sexton Show, everybody. 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:07.560 We got a great extravaganza of politics, current events, philosophy, musings, 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:09.480 all the stuff we usually do here in the Hunt. 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.440 So thank you so much for joining. I've got a 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:15.959 few a few more weeks a Swamp show, and then 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.680 we're heading up to the Big Apple, NYC time. I'm 0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.040 looking forward to it. You know, I'm just even if 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.440 I end up in a seventh floor walk up in 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:29.440 a studio so small that I can cook my meals 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:32.959 while showering and sitting on my bed, which don't think 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:36.560 that that doesn't exist in New York. I'm just a 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.000 New York guy, So it'll be good to be back home. 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.440 But I've got some swamp time left in me and 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.360 a lot to do while i'm here. So let's get 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:49.280 to it, shall we. The Democrat debate in Detroit, Night one, 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:51.920 it is, it is coming up. Of course, it's a 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:56.080 two night extravaganza because there's a lot of Democrats were 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.880 out there running, and I would just note that by 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.840 going into this thing is as much and I have been. 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:10.160 I know, I've been very effusive in my Biden criticism 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.440 and my sense that there's just no chance in my 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:19.040 mind that he is going to be the Democrats nominee. 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.840 But if if we're going to really look into the data, 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:28.640 turns out that Biden has quite a solid, quite a 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:32.799 solid lead going into his thirty three percent of likely 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.760 Democratic voters. He's thirteen points ahead of Bernie Sanders, who's 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.840 in second place with twenty percent. Warren is in third 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:44.799 place at fourteen percent. And there, you know, that's then 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.360 you got Harris and then Buddha Judge, and you know 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.640 then then it goes down. I'm pretty sure that Beto 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:56.880 O'Rourke is going to pull a John cusack from say 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.200 anything where he's just going to stand up on stage 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.040 with Peter Gabriel in your eyes, playing on a boombox 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.679 while wearing a trench coat, just looking at the Democrat 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.920 primary voters of Americans say I'm here for you, and 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.240 I just like, really think that if you gave Peto 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.480 a shot, I could totally be the next president of 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.120 the United States and unite all of our spirits in 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:23.240 a harmony that would be unbreakable. I could see Betto 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.080 making a play for it. I really could. I think 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:31.000 there is a chance, there is a possibility that he's 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:32.639 I mean not that he's gonna win or anything. I 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:37.000 mean he's gonna do something kind of crazy tonight. The expectation, 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.320 and it's because I believe he has said it recently, 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.720 is that he is that that Biden rather is going 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.160 to be the big show tonight, and he's not going 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:49.600 to be so nice this time. He's not gonna be 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:51.760 so nice. I'm gonna get it into an in depth 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.120 conversation with you because I've done a lot of reading, 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:59.800 some deep diving on busting. It's one of these policy 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.280 that stretches back for a long time. There's a lot 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.520 of sensitivities around it, a lot of what you know, 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.240 telling people what they can and can't say about it. 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.240 I read into it, looked a look at the data, 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.560 looked at the stories, looked at the reality, and that 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.720 whole exchange between Biden and Kamala was very interesting because 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:24.159 it was the emotionally woke side of the Democratic Party 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:30.360 going after with Kamala Harris going after the more in 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:35.840 touch with the political realities and the difficulties of policy 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.080 with Joe Biden. That's just a consider that a little 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.200 preview of where we're going to be going with this 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.240 in just a few minutes. Because I've really the bussing 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:47.000 Here's what I can tell you for most of you. 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.400 What what I'll be able to illuminate around the bussing issue. 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:54.080 You probably haven't heard elsewhere you probably because people get 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.000 very tense about discussing it, and oh no, bussing is great. 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.400 You know, everything's great. It's like you know, affirmative action. 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:01.520 Oh it's great. I don't want to criticize that. It's 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:05.040 all that's that has started to change recently. But the 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:09.000 expectation is that there's going to be a very big 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.200 Biden moment or that he's trying to get a big 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.479 Biden moment, and here's where I think he'll fall flat. 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:17.960 I really do. I do not believe that Joe Biden 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:23.200 has it in him. There have been some big establishment 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.360 media organizations that have already laid a bit of the 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:32.240 groundwork for Biden's replacement of sorts to come forward the 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:40.799 leading person in this in this particular presidential contest. Trump 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.080 disagrees with me on this, I will note, and I 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:50.360 he has a inability an intuitive political sense. That is, 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.320 it feels like it's you know, he's the X men 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.200 and this is his superpower or something. I mean, he 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.600 he says things to people say you can never say, 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:00.159 and not only does he say it and get away 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.280 with it, but then people started to realize, wow, maybe 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:06.120 he was right. Maybe he's just speaking truth about something 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.799 that we're not allowed to talk about. And Trump believes 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:14.120 that Biden is going to limp to the nomination. I 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.800 think was the sleepy Joe will limp to the nomination. 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:22.600 I think was the quote from earlier today. So I 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.280 don't believe that's gonna happen. I just don't see it. 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.200 I think it's gonna If you ask me to put 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.560 money on who would be the Democrats nominee. Right now, 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:34.880 I think it's Kamala Harris. Jeff Zucker probably thinks it's 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:38.360 Kamala Harris over it at seeing. I love when they 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.440 show a Zucker photo. You'll see some of these where 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.760 it looks like he's maybe gone three buttons down on 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:44.480 the button down shirt. You know, he really likes to 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:47.440 show off the the Zucker chest haired song. I don't 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.240 know's I'm just telling you. Look at the photos. You'll 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:51.719 see what I mean. It really likes to give us 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.880 a lot of a lot of Zucker Man cleavage and 0:06:54.920 --> 0:07:00.240 a lot of the photos. But here, here, here's a story. 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.320 This has been on the top of Drudge, the top 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.840 of Drudge for last twenty four hours. CNN's Jeff Zucker 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:10.160 once feted Kamala Harris. Will that help or hurt? In 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:14.840 twenty twenty so you know when he ran to become 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:18.320 the first when I'm sorry, when she ran, When Kamala 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.200 Harris ran to become the first woman of color recording 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:25.960 mcmcclatchy here to be the California Attorney General a decade ago, 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:35.440 Jeff Zucker told guests at a NBC Rockefeller Plaza office 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.960 gathering in August two thousand and nine. That quote Kamala 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.200 is not just important for the city of San Francisco, 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.840 the state of California, but the entire country. And he 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:48.360 you know he so he was a huge backer of hers. Look, 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.560 my friends, I like that people know more of this now. 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.920 I like that this information comes to light. It makes 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.720 it harder for us all to be told to choke 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:01.120 down the lie that these news organizations aren't picking winners 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.880 and losers in this process, or trying to pick winners 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:12.960 and losers. There are absolutely absolutely journalists who are doing 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:18.080 what they can to shape the narrative so that their 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.440 preferred candidate is going to come out on top of 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.320 this whole thing. What do I think we'll be interesting 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.680 to Here's the question that I would want asked. Of 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:28.120 course it's CNNCED they want to ask this question, actually, Democrats, 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:33.200 what do you love the most about this country? I 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.880 think that would be really interesting. What is your favorite? 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.440 Not and that it has to be the thing you 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:42.040 love the most about America, because that otherwise we'll turn 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.559 into well, like you know, Beto would stand up. But 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:46.400 what I love is thought like we're also full of 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:48.839 love and like while we're imperfect, but we have this 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.320 like amazing like ability to love each other, and yet 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:55.400 we don't do it enough. And no, no, no no a thing. 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.240 What what is it about this country that separates? Or 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:01.280 rather make your different arreations of the question would work 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:05.000 for me. Ask all the Democrats on stage, why is 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:09.800 America better than other countries? How about that? Why are 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:14.120 we better than other countries? They would say home, but 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:15.600 it depends on the country, and they're like, no, no no, no. 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.000 If you're gonna run for president United States, you gotta 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.720 think America's number one. So that means that you gotta 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.960 think we're better than every other country, which I believe, 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:27.840 you believe a lot of Democrats don't believe in folks. 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.160 This is why it would be such a great question, 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:34.000 and it gives them so little room for you know, 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:35.640 I mean, I would love it if they would answer 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:37.719 it in a kind of Barack Obama. Remember this was 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.680 a moment where Barack Obama was a little vulnerable. You 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:45.360 know that he believes that the Americans believe in American 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.320 exceptionalism the way that Greeks believe in Greek is exceptionalism, 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.000 and blahbli blah, and all of a sudden, it's like, yeah, 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.480 every country is basically just as great as another country. 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:54.880 Make me president of America, though, I mean that was 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.880 the pitch. People are like, what those questions would be 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:02.760 really fun? Instead, you're to get the you know, medicare 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:05.640 for all? What would you do about the border? And 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:09.000 Democrats are gonna just play to the left wing bass. 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.080 They're just gonna play to the left wing bass. That's 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:13.640 what this is, and hope that they can move back 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:15.560 to the center later on, which this always occurs in 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.720 every presidential cycle. But some of the positions they're taking 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:22.760 are just bonkers. I mean, healthcare for illegal aliens paid 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.160 for by the taxpayer when you don't want to stop 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.679 illegal aliens from flooding into the country is crazy. Vote 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.320 normal voters saying people will not go for that, and 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:33.960 they've all raised their hand at least in that second debate. 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:37.160 I think it was in favor of that. So what 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:39.040 will we learn tonight? I Mean, here here's a prediction 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.080 that I'll only remind you of if I'm right. Tomorrow, 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.760 Biden's gonna have a not strong, a strong but not 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:48.120 strong enough performance. That'll be the consensus betto will be 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:52.520 done Kamala will rise and the real fight is going 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:56.320 to be Warren versus Bernie. That's going to be the 0:10:56.320 --> 0:11:00.640 most interesting component of tonight's debate. We shall see it 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.760 is commonly internet debate. I don't even know. I might 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:04.240 have gotten that one wrong, but the other ones are 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.520 all true. I think we'll be right back. One man 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:10.560 stands ready to deliver change we desperately need. A man 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.760 I'm proud to call my friend, a man who will 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:18.280 be the next president of United States, Barack America. Hillary 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.959 Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:24.760 to be vice President United States of America. Quite frankly, 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.160 it might have been a better pick than me. Look, 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:31.920 John's last minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:35.559 number one job facing the middle class, and it happens 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:42.240 to be, as Barack says, a three letter word jobs, jobs, jobs. 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:47.400 If we do everything rains, we do it with absolute certainly, 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.120 we stand up there and we make really tough decisions, 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.480 there's still a thirty percent chance we're gonna get it wrong. 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:59.480 It is MoMA lived in Long Island for ten years 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:04.319 or so. God rest her soul and hum although she's wait, 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:07.000 your mom's still your mom's still alive. Is your dad 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:13.720 past God bless her soul. Ladies and gentlemen, the President 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:24.880 of the United States of America, Barack Obama, Now is 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:28.760 the time to heed the timeless advice from Teddy Roosevelt. 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:33.760 Speaks softly and carry a big stick. I promise you. 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:41.320 The president has a big stick. I promise you. My 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:48.600 favorite is a three letter word, jobs, jobs, and he 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:56.720 doesn't correct himself. Joe, Joe Biden man is so lucky 0:12:56.840 --> 0:13:01.400 that the media Libs have can did this whole narrative 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.880 of how Joe Biden is just, you know, the the 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:09.360 cute grandpa that makes the funny jokes that everything. You know. Meanwhile, 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.319 if Bush made any mistake when he was president, they 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:15.480 just all called him a moron. Oh he's terrible, he's erber. 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.880 You know. Biden can say the dumbest stuff you can imagine, 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:24.880 and they go, oh, it's just Joe being Joe. Biden's 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.400 never never struck me as all that bright. I think 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.199 that Reagan's very short description of him from back in 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.600 the eighties was very apt, which is that he is 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:40.200 a perfect demagogue. That's that's exactly what he what he is, 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:43.680 and really a shameless demagogue. I don't think he's a 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:47.080 bad guy. I just think he's a very mediocre guy 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:51.719 who's gotten politically lucky a couple of times and is 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:53.840 a classic politician, will say whatever he has to say 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:58.240 whenever he has to say it. Who worries me more? 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:01.920 Are he the far left types? I mean the Sander 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:07.120 Nistah folks out there, you know, the ones who are 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.280 going to be fighting it out the clash of liberals 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.400 as I saw today on the Drudge Report, Warren and 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:18.040 Sanders here, because there can really only be one far 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:22.240 left candidate that can get enough I think, I mean, 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:23.720 who knows how this is all going to play out, 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:27.600 but that can get enough of a of a left 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:31.560 wing base behind him or her that they'll be in 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:35.320 this thing for a long time. It's just it's becomes 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.080 a crowded lane, and eventually people are just gonna want 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.320 the one person who's in the best position to win. 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.240 They're gonna want the one person who seems like they 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:49.200 can really get it done. And I don't know who 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:53.080 it's gonna be, but I do think that Bernie's I 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.400 think that there. I think it's gonna be Warren, folks, 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.320 I don't I don't see Birnie. You know, I'm I'm 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:01.600 getting pretty pretty if on the Burns chances of being 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.680 the crazy Kami who makes it all the way through 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:07.320 the Democrat primary, that's for sure. And he says stuff 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.600 that it's going to be very difficult for him to 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:13.520 walk away from. Play clib six. You've been very critical 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:15.880 of b being at Yahoo in the Israeli government. We 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:18.920 spent a few billion dollars on aid to Israel. Would 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.080 you ever consider using that aid as lever Israeli government 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:26.000 to act differently? Absolutely? Absolutely, yeah, I mean we are 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:29.720 giving large sums of money. Look, let me back it up. 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:32.720 I lived in Israel. Actually I worked in a kabutz 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:34.800 for a number of months. I have family in Israel. 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:38.000 I am Jewish. I am not anti Israel, Okay. I 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:40.720 believe that the people of Israel have absolutely the right 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:45.160 to live in peace, independence and security, end of discussion. 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.160 That is what I fervently believe. But I think what 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.320 has happened is in recent years on the Nittanyahu you 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:55.840 have an extreme right wing government with many racist tendencies, 0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:02.520 a right wing government with racist endencies, So he would 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:06.160 consider cutting aid to Israel. Bernie Sanders folks man, this 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:11.240 guy's you know, whether you agree with our financial support 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:13.560 of Israel or not, you know, this is going to 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.360 be something that the burden is going to have to 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:17.520 answer for it down the line. Here. This is not 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:21.600 something that he can easily spin. So I don't see 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:25.240 Bernie Sanders being able to take this thing all the way. 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:29.640 But one thing I will say I do like is Democrats. 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:34.120 The craziness of the Democratic Party is currently the biggest 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:41.000 hurdle they have, and the platform is now far left. 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:44.000 Whether all the candidates are far left, we'll have to see, 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:46.680 but I think it's hard to argue that if they're 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:51.120 all supporting a far left platform, they aren't themselves accurately 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.800 described as in some way far left. And that's why 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:57.600 there's this new Trump campaign ad that came out that 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.720 it hits pretty close to home plate twelve. Raise your 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:05.480 hand if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants. 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:09.800 They're all the same. These Democrats support giving illegal immigrants 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:15.560 free healthcare at our expense, spending taxpayer dollars covering illegal immigrants, 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:19.399 calling for socialized medicine, destroying healthcare as we know it, 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:24.800 and putting illegal immigrants before hardworking Americans. The Democrats radical 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:33.080 reckless socialist. They're all the same, radical reckless socialist. I 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.359 like it. It's got kind of a ring to it, 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:39.280 doesn't it. And I don't think it's really accurate to 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:42.040 say they're all the same. But they all want well, 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:43.800 maybe this is what they're going for. They all want 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:47.360 the same things more or less. There are slight variations 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.359 on a theme, but I don't think it's out of 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:52.119 line to refer to them as socialists. I think that 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:56.639 they are increasingly very obviously socialists. They don't like the 0:17:56.800 --> 0:18:00.359 term because the term, for a lot of Americans comes 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:06.720 with baggage, and there's a recognition that socialism is a failure. Historically, 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:09.960 it always fails wherever it is tried. And yet Democrats 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:11.679 are not trying to dust it off and say, oh no, 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:13.400 we figured out how to do it the right way 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:17.320 this time. I think that's very very unlikely my friends. 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:20.280 In fact, I know it's not the case. But they're 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.080 still trying to make a go of it somehow. So 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:27.160 we shall see. Tonight. I'll be live tweeting the debate, 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.720 So if you aren't on Twitter, now's a great time 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:32.840 to start. If you are, on Twitter. Please retweet my 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:36.840 stuff because it'll trigger libs all over the place. And oh, 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:37.960 by the way, I think I said this to you. 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:40.119 But tomorrow I'm in Baltimore, and then Thursday I'm in 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:42.520 Los Angeles, and then Friday, I'm doing the Bill Maher Show. 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:44.520 So it's a busy week in the freedom. Hup, my friends. 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:48.840 You also worked with them to a post bussing. And 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:52.480 you know, there was a little girl in California who 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:56.040 was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, 0:18:56.400 --> 0:19:00.520 and she was bust to school every day. Little girl 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:04.080 was me. I did not oppose busing in America. What 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:07.640 I opposed is bussing ordered by the Department of Education. 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:13.600 That's what I opposed. That was the single most talked 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:18.639 about and politically the most important exchange from the last 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:22.640 Democratic presidential debate in Miami back on June twenty eighth 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:26.720 of this summer, That whole exchange on that that was 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:30.760 when it all of a sudden, one of the new 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:39.119 guard of Democrat aspirants to the presidential nomination all of 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:40.960 a sudden seemed like she could take Biden down a 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:44.560 peg or two. All of a sudden, he wasn't the 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:49.120 unstoppable poll unstoppable political force that the polls showed him 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:53.440 to be. Now, I wanted to weigh in on this 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:55.400 issue at the time, but I first wanted to take 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:59.960 the time to read quite a bit about bussing, which 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:03.520 I've done, and a very quick review of a very 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:07.600 complicated and decades long program is that after the passage 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:11.080 of the Civil Rights Civil Rights Act the Voting Rights 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:15.280 Act in the sixties, there was an effort to integrate 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:17.840 the schools. The federal government says, okay, well, now we're 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:21.760 going to integrate schools and judges. Federal judges often mandated 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:25.639 it in different parts of the country, and this was 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:30.920 very contentious for a whole lot of reasons. The Democrat 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:34.640 narrative of events here is that this was necessary, a 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:38.959 good idea, and that it worked well. The reality is 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:45.040 that this was a flawed idea, poorly implemented that sometimes 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:47.440 worked for some people, but a lot of the time 0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:50.960 it didn't work for people at all, for the children, 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:55.920 for the students involved in this, and instead of addressing 0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:58.679 the problems or looking at the program for what it 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:01.760 really was, what do you think the Democrats go to 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:09.560 explanation of everything was if you opposed bussing, you're a racist. 0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:15.040 Doesn't stand up to scrutiny at all, though, doesn't stand 0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:16.600 up for the facts. It was, I will tell you 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:21.120 a low blow. It was a cheap shot that Kamala 0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:24.880 Harris through at Biden in that debate. Wasn't wasn't fair. 0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:29.199 It wasn't fair, and she must have known that because 0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:34.400 here's the truth about the bussing system in this country. 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:38.560 A lot of a lot of what went wrong with 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:45.120 it was entirely predictable because it was a failure of 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:50.639 central planning. This was a top down solution for a 0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:54.280 problem that did not take into account local realities, did 0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:59.160 not take into account localized improvisation, all of the predictable 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:04.040 failures of central planning. We're evident in busing. It was 0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:07.360 a blunt instrument for what should have been a very 0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:15.160 precise and case by case approach for one thing people 0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:19.600 should have been able to choose. See, the way that 0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:22.000 bussing worked was you would, if you were a student, 0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:26.199 your parents would be told, hey, you can't go to 0:22:26.280 --> 0:22:29.040 your local high school anymore. You're now going to get 0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:31.800 on a bus. That's why they called it bussing. For 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:33.600 forty five minutes an hour, maybe an hour and a 0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:37.399 half each way to go to some other school because 0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:42.320 we say so, well, some of the students, and this 0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:45.000 was all about racial integration right there. There were schools 0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:47.720 that were almost entirely white, or entirely white schools that 0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:52.840 were almost entirely black. And so what the czars of 0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:55.280 the government and the Department of Education decided to do is, well, 0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:58.960 let's just tell people top down that okay, we're gonna 0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:02.000 just make a determination that you know, certain students are 0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:03.399 going to go to this school and other students are 0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:05.520 gonna go to that school, and one none of the students' 0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:08.360 opinions matter at all, None of the family's opinions matter 0:23:08.359 --> 0:23:09.480 at all. This is the way it's going to be. 0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:14.840 You say, why is that? Why is that necessary? Why 0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:17.920 is that? And any criticism of this is shouted down 0:23:17.960 --> 0:23:21.040 as racism right away. Criticism of it is must be 0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:23.600 indicative of racism. And there were some areas of the country, 0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:29.040 notably in Boston and what I believe is considered Southey. 0:23:29.240 --> 0:23:34.920 In Boston, there were some ugly racial incidents when bussing 0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:37.200 was instituted where people didn't you know, they didn't want 0:23:37.480 --> 0:23:40.000 and it seemed to be really racial animals. But you 0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:42.840 know what, in all the studies they've done, the number 0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:46.919 one reason people didn't like bussing was they didn't like 0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:48.959 getting on a bus for a long time to go 0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:51.560 to a school that was far away. What a shock. 0:23:53.240 --> 0:23:56.040 White students didn't like it in many, many, many cases. 0:23:56.280 --> 0:23:59.000 Black students didn't like it in many, many, many cases. 0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:06.240 The program was an abject failure. In many places. The 0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:10.439 program had all kinds of unintended consequences. One of them was, Okay, 0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:14.040 so you're gonna take a predominantly white school district in 0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:16.800 let's say Detroit, and you're gonna say, guess what, now, 0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:19.600 we're gonna make it. You know, sixty forty white and 0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:23.480 African American. A lot of people in that neighborhood might say, 0:24:23.480 --> 0:24:26.359 you know what I am going to And this is 0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:29.840 what happened. They moved. They moved because they moved to 0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:32.080 that neighborhood in the first place for the school. Now 0:24:32.119 --> 0:24:33.679 they can't go to that school, so guess what, they 0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:36.760 moved somewhere else and they go somewhere where they can 0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:38.480 live near the school. For a lot of students, I 0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:44.400
