WEBVTT - Bernie and Omar's Anti-Americanism 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:03.960 This is the Buck Sexton Show where the mission where 0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:08.160 mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:13.840 mcnoma stake American bring You're a great American Again The 0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:21.239 Buck Sexton Show begins, CIA Analyst. Remember he's a great guy. No, 0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:30.000 Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. This is Ben Weingarten 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:34.279 in four Bucks Sexton. Always a pleasure to be with you, 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:37.080 and want to start by thanking Buck as always for 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:40.760 the opportunity to fill his big shoes. We've got a 0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:43.159 lot to get to during this episode. As you may know, 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:47.519 this week, I released my new book American Ingred ilhan 0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:52.320 Omar and the Progressive Islamists Takeover of the Democratic Party, 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:56.520 which uses ilhan Omar as sort of the personification the 0:00:56.600 --> 0:01:01.000 symbol of where the Democratic Party is is going and 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:04.959 delves into the danger for American national security and ultimately 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.520 our core values and principles to the extent this hostile 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.760 takeover of the Party continues. So we'll get to that 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.800 directly and infuse that into some of the stories that 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:18.800 we grapple with during today's episode. We'll also talk about 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:22.480 the coronavirus. That's where we'll begin today's episode, as well 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.959 as a discussion on the corruption of our education system, 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:31.000 the Democratic Party, showing that democracy dies in darkness, the 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:36.640 increasingly hot confrontation with China in general and over Huawei, 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:41.000 and the all important fifth generation technology five G technology 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.200 in particular with David Goldman. Our education segment will be 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.400 with Joy Pullman of the Federalist and last, but not least, 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.840 we'll also have a conversation with Michael Pack, who is 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:55.240 the producer of a spectacular new documentary on Clarence Thomas 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.680 that I urge you to see. But as noted, the 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:03.919 big talk today the last several days is this potential 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:10.920 pandemic in the form of coronavirus. And this story, interestingly enough, 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.280 implicates a major theme that I've talked about on any 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.880 number of episodes filling in for Buck, dealing with US 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:22.079 China relations, the threat of the Chinese Communist Party, It's nature, 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.480 and ultimately what the consequences are for all of us 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.079 to the degree to which it remains as strong as 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:32.280 it has been. So I want to talk about the 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.519 coronavirus story in context of what it says about China 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.519 and then what it says about America in our reaction 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:42.360 to it. Frankly, the shameful, sickening, and disgusting reaction that 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:46.040 we've seen from the left politicizing an issue that cannot 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.559 be politicized. Just like national security should never be politicized 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.800 because it deals with the life and limb of American citizens, 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:57.040 so too it should be the same with anything public 0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:01.000 health wise that is as major as this potential pandemic. 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.919 Let's start, though, with China, where this whole thing started. 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:13.680 About ten days ago, Jimmy Lay, a media tycoon, ardent hawk, 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.959 anti Chinese Communist Party figure in Hong Kong, an owner 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:20.360 of the Apple Daily newspaper, which frequently takes a confrontational 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:24.320 tone towards the Chinese Communist Party, wrote an article in 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.320 The Wall Street Journal that I urge you to pick up, 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:32.200 read and let it absorb a little bit, because it 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.800 describes the nature of China and also what it means 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.000 for us. I'm going to read a little from that 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:42.080 article and you understand why. In a moment, he wrote, 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.720 there exists today no vaccine for the coronavirus now engulfing China. 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.280 That is a challenge for President Shi Jinping as he 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.320 struggles to contain it. But the spread of the coronavirus 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.240 has revealed a truth that poses a much greater risk 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:58.640 to mister She. There is no cure for Chinese communism 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:02.520 except the collapse of the party. The more mister She 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:06.000 pursues his authoritarian agenda, the more distrust he will sew 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.800 at home and abroad. Far from transforming Beijing into the 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.920 world's waiting superpower, his policies will instead keep China from 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.440 taking its rightful place of honor in a peaceful, modern 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:18.800 and integrated world. This much should already be clear from 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:22.040 how badly Chinese authorities have botched their response to a 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.880 virus that each day claims more innocent Chinese wives. He 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:30.440 goes on to describe the Chinese authorities quashing those doctors 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.200 who were speaking out in the Wuhan province where this 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:37.800 outbreak started. When the outbreak did happen and a seafood 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.320 market was identified as the probable origin of the virus, 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.320 local authorities closed it down. They hid the threat, telling 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.080 the public that the market was merely being renovated. In 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.200 other words, as the outbreak was already underway, the local 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:53.000 government did what communist governments always do. Cover up. Deception 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.640 is China's true real rule of law and let me 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.360 stop right there. Deception has been at the core of 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:03.880 every communist aalitarian regime in the history of mankind. Why 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:09.080 because the truth is the strongest weapon against its totalitarian regime. 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.960 That's why they need to control the flow of information, 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.520 and by the way, why they want to control all 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.880 information and communications around the world through as we'll talk 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:22.640 about a bit later, dominating fifth generation five G network infrastructure. 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.960 Lie goes on. Now, the world must start asking something 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.600 that Chinese people living under communism ask themselves every day. 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:33.599 How reliable can China's political, social, and economic institutions be 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.040 when it's local government leaders routinely lie to their citizens 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:40.360 and superiors alike, Mister she has no understanding of this. 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.800 He talks of a people's war on the coronavirus and 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.440 has mobilized vast resources to combat at Communist governments excel 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:50.120 at mobilizing resources because their command economies and these big 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:55.320 actions quarantining entire cities, deploying the military, building hospitals, overnights 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.719 can look impressive, but their efficacy is hobbled by the 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:03.160 lack of free community. And that's what prevented Doctor Lee, 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.920 the doctor who is a whistleblower on this who himself 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.120 succumbed to the virus February seventh from getting his findings 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.279 out in a way that might have avoided much of 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.200 this pain. And the same problem makes it so that 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.760 no one in China can ever trust what anyone else says. 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:19.520 That goes for mister she himself. China's president cannot trust 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.960 the information he is getting. The lack of trust means 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.600 he must make decisions in the dark. No institution can 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.440 function effectively this way. But stop for a moment just 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.520 to point out that again, the free flow of information 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:37.120 is pivotal to free societies, precisely because good ideas compete 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.960 with bad ideas, and hopefully the best ideas went out 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:44.560 if we're not suicidal in capitalism, why does capitalism work? 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.599 Because there are price signals. There are prices that tell 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.520 us how much people desire of a product and how 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.600 much they're willing to pay for it. Coordinate the actions 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.640 of millions of people, hundreds of millions, billions of people, 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.680 and tell of those who are bringing those goods and 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.240 services to market whether or not they're doing the right 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:07.000 job and fulfilling the demand properly through profits and losses 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.080 that can be analogized to governments making decisions as well, 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.680 to the extent they have to intervene in different areas 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:19.160 of our lives. If you have no price signals, you 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:23.720 fail ultimately. That's why all these communist countries do ultimately fail. 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:25.920 But they can hang on for an awful long time 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.200 and create a ton of misery and kill millions of 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:32.520 people in the process. Let me continue a little bit 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.400 from this article. The Communist Party sees things differently. It's 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.280 leaders are betting the projects such as the Belt and 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.000 Road Initiative, Whawa's advanced five G wireless network, and the 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.720 MAIDE in China twenty twenty five industrial policy will ensure 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:47.000 China's global supremacy in the decades ahead. He says. Let's 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:50.760 assume for the moment that this is true. Without institutions 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:53.320 and a culture of trust, the China dream will prove empty. 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.680 The Chinese Communist Party continues to rule using deception and fear, 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.360 but as the coronavirus evolves into a global pandemic, it 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.960 undermines the case for authoritarian competence. Even worse for party 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.559 leaders is the potential for public unrest when the fear 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.560 of death seems more menacing and immediate than the fear 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.600 of dictatorship, and he quoses out his article by saying, 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.840 this the devil's bargain. Mister She has always offered the 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.560 people of China as this surrender your freedom and an 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.360 exchange you will enjoy continuing material improvement in your day 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.920 to day lives. But if the consequence of surrendering your 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.720 freedom may be losing your life, that becomes a much 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.880 harder sell. Today, mister She is still seeking more control 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.400 as it means to stop the coronavirus, But control does 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.440 not mean stability, especially when it helps create and feed 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.360 a health epidemic. If the coronavirus does nothing more than 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:42.800 expose this single truth, it may prove as revolutionary as 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:48.520 any event in China's history. Let's just point out that 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:52.560 our Democratic Party today wants control over every aspect of 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.840 our economy and in particular healthcare. They want a nationalized 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.760 healthcare system. We see what happens in China when you 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.520 have a commanding control of so maybe those who are 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:05.200 attacking our president this administration ought to step back a 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.079 second and look in the mirror, and in the next 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.640 segment we will talk about that. But I want to 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:11.960 tie this back to the fact the story of Jimmy 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.720 Lai himself, who wrote this op ed. It was revealed 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:19.320 that he was arrested today in Hong Kong Friday in 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:23.680 Hong Kong, quote, according to one article, for taking part 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.440 in an unauthorized anti government in March last year amid 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:31.000 the city's most serious political crisis for decades. Let me 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.320 repeat that again. He writes this op ed ten days 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:36.319 ago talking about the Chinese Communist Party's failures with respect 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:41.560 to coronavirus. Ten days later, arrested in Hong Kong for 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:46.800 his role supposedly in protests. Christian Wynn wrote a great 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.040 piece on this I urge your read it on Fox Business, 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:53.400 where he notes that he and two others Jimmy Lay 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.440 and two others were charged and released for a legal 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.040 assembly so called related to one of the scores of 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.000 mass gatherings against the government that have taken place ince 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:06.360 West June Andrew Ie, a pro democracy member of Hong 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:10.839 Kong's Legislative Council, observed quote the three were not even organizers. 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.800 This is clearly political persecution. Authorities also reportedly charged by 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:18.040 with allegedly intimidating a reporter in twenty seventeen by using 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:21.360 foul language. That journalist works for Oriental Daily, a pro 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:25.640 Beijing competitor newspaper. In reality, the Hong Kong government, whose 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:29.560 activities are increasingly directed by Beijing and the Chinese Communist Party, 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:33.319 is trying to use the disastrous coronavirus outbreak to its advantage. 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.920 Protests have dropped off due to concern about the outbreak. 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.680 Rather than focus all of their energy on public health, 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:41.600 authorities are evidently hoping instead to crack down on pro 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:46.360 democracy sentiments. This politics before health conduct fits with actions 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.480 by China's Communist government on the mainland, which included harassing 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.320 doctors who warned of the outbreak and misuading the world 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:56.400 of its severity and scope. So what is my takeaway 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.840 from all of this before we talk about the impact 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:03.199 on America and what a response has been. We cannot 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:07.040 or certainly should not rely on China for anything essential. 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.959 And you may have seen so many of the everyday 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:15.960 medicines that we use in this country are produced in China, 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:21.240 delivered by China. Parts used in American weaponry, in our vehicles, 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:24.600 in our computers, and other critical technology that we use 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:28.320 every second of every day made in China, the network 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.640 infrastructure or the phones that we rely on to the 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:34.120 extent it's Huawei back and even if it's not related 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:39.240 to h Huawei necessarily made in China. You want to 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.160 make the case for decoupling from China. Why we need 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:46.199 to shift our supply chains away exhibit A. This pandemic, 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.800 Not even to mention SARS and other problems that we've 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:55.280 seen before this, you cannot be tied inextricably intertwined to 0:11:55.360 --> 0:12:00.240 a Chinese Communist Party led China. You can't. When I 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:05.160 come back, we'll talk about the way that the Democrats cynically, shockingly, 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:09.760 sickeningly are trying to capitalize on this crisis. This has 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:11.560 been one garden for Buck Sexon here in the Buck 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:16.440 Sexon Show. Be back just after this. You're in the 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:23.880 Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexon Show podcast. Welcome 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.319 back to the Buck Sexton Show. This is Ben Weinegarden 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.920 in for Buck Sexton. And before the break we were 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:36.400 talking a bit about coronavirus, which has shocked those in 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:40.600 our financial markets. And you've likely seen if you're watching 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.320 your four oh one K or any of your portfolios 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:47.040 that the last several days, the markets have tanked, to 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:52.439 put it lightly, because of the spread of coronavirus to 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.920 the African continent, including it one of its largest countries 0:12:55.920 --> 0:13:00.240 in Nigeria, in places like Italy, and then of course 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:05.920 several cases here in the US as well. And Sean Davis, 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.480 my colleague at the Federalists, had a great line about 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:12.200 what the reaction has been here. He said, a handful 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.280 of this is a tweet, a handful of never Trump 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.800 a looo, and left wing media personalities are really struggling 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:20.520 between bashing the redneck prepper rubes for being prepared for 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:23.839 coronavirus quarantines and blaming Trump for not doing enough to 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:27.840 prevent global pandemic that started in China. It's so strange, Yes, 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:31.480 it is strange. Indeed, this is an issue where there 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.880 cannot be the hyper politicization that there is in everything else, 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:40.000 but the left is forcing it. My argument is simply this, 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:44.560 we are talking about a potential pandemic and Democrats are 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:49.600 trying to use this to bash the president. We're going 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:53.160 to destroy ourselves if we can't get over political bickering 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:57.280 and snipering in the face of all the myriad threats 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:01.720 that we face, and it's to be expected, but it's 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:07.120 no less shameful. I think that the responses from the 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:12.440 media and other Democrats attacking the Trump administration's fitness to 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:14.920 deal with this issue, because they love to talk, always 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:20.160 talk about the fitness, notwithstanding their own problems, really reflects 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.480 Actually they're not only their willingness to try to win 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:27.400 at all costs by politicizing anything and everything, but how 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.560 desperate they are going into twenty twenty. This is the 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.200 thing that they're holding onto a disaster in the United States. 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.120 That's what they want. That is what they are saying 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:35.400 at the end of the day. And you know, we 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.000 saw this before the midterm elections as well, many of 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:43.400 them cheering on any sort of economic correction contraction because 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.080 they know, they admit that the Trump economy is strong. 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:49.040 It's the same thing here, but it's even more sick 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:50.800 because this is again about the life and limb of 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:54.320 American citizens, the first priority of every single representative, or 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.520 what is supposed to be the first priority of every 0:14:56.560 --> 0:15:01.640 single one of our so called representatives. But for a second, 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.600 let's also point out who the party is. If they're 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:07.640 going to politicize this, they should be caught out for 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:09.800 the fact that this is a Democratic party that couldn't 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:13.000 build a functioning healthcare website with three hundred million dollars. 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:15.960 They want to take over all of healthcare. They can't 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:19.120 build a website with infinite resources behind it for their 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:22.760 Obamacare portal. This a party that couldn't run a caucus 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.880 in Iowa. The AP just announced it will not be 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:29.520 able to declare a winner after certification is finally completed, 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.040 which I believe it's used to be tomorrow, weeks after 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:36.640 the caucus. This is a party of open borders. Meanwhile, 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.120 according to one report, Brandon Judd, the president of the 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:43.680 National Border Patrol Council, said on February tenth that there 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:47.120 were three Chinese nationals who were apprehended illegally entering Texas 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.680 with food symptoms and who had to be quarantined. Luckily 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:51.440 they didn't have the coronavirus. But this is a wake 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:55.200 up call, he said. This is a party of Bolshevik 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.040 Bernie Sanders, do you really think that with a socialized 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.680 healthcare system, we're going to be able to quickly innovate 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:05.280 and get vital vaccines to the marketplace. No, we're gonna 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:08.400 go the exact same way as China. You think Bernie 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.680 would be able to deal with the equivalent of a Chernobyl. 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.120 And by the way, we haven't had Chernobyls precisely because 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:19.520 we're not the Soviet Union, we haven't had Chernobyls. But 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:21.680 you have to think twice about if they were in power. 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:24.160 And I'm not politicizing it. I'm saying that it is 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.960 a threat when they are in power potentially. And I'm 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.720 also not saying that I would be attacking them while 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.920 they were in power. I would be providing criticism intended 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.080 to push them towards doing the right things. Were they 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:39.960 in power, with he and his central planners and his 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:43.720 czars overseeing everything, you would run the risk of Chernobyls. 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:48.360 So what do I think ultimately happens. If we're going 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.960 to focus on the political aspect of this for a second, 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:53.640 I think this is going to backfire on Democrats. I 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:55.640 think there's a good chance of it because while this 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:59.440 is something of a September October surprise, except months in advance, 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.680 which they probably view as a bad thing about this 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:07.119 potential pandemic emerging, I think the Trump arrangement syndrome is 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:10.000 going to backfire here. They could have said, if the 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:12.560 Democrats could have said, this is the time to come together, 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.239 rise up a partnership, act like grown ups, even if 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:17.520 they don't believe it, they could have said that. They 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:21.280 could have pandered. They didn't. And what I think they're 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:26.640 underestimating here is that one of the core traits that 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:30.920 Trump exudes, and he has from the time he descended 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:39.960 on that escalator, is strength, fortitude, anti political correctness, goal based, 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:45.720 pragmatic again, strength at core, and do what needs to 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:50.040 be done and cut the bs. So in a wartime 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:53.280 sort of mode or a crisis kind of mode, you 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:56.800 can bet that he's going to exude strength and patriotism 0:17:56.840 --> 0:18:00.520 and seek to instill confidence in the American people. And 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.320 I am confident that we certainly have the capability to 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:06.239 grapple with any sort of disaster to befollow us as 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:09.880 a country, but not to the extent half the country 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:13.000 or the party representing half the country embraces an anti 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:16.359 American ethos like as I'll talk about the party that 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:20.200 is now Bernie Sanders and ilhan Omar, the American ingrate, 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.840 as my book title is, party Now represents. This is 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:25.920 Ben Weegarden for Buck Sexon on the Buck Sex and Show. 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:29.040 We'll be back at just after this. Thanks for listening 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.399 to the Bus Sex and Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:35.920 on Apple Podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:39.320 your podcasts. Welcome back to the Buck Sex and Show. 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:43.119 This is Ben Wee Garden in for Buck Sexton. And 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:46.200 as I noted at the top of the show, this 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:50.159 week I released my first book, American ingrate ilhan Omar 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:54.600 and the Progressive Islamist Takeover of the Democratic Party. And 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:57.280 I urge you to get your hands on at least 0:18:57.280 --> 0:18:59.680 a few copies of the book, one for you, one 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:01.720 for your kids who need to read this before they 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:03.840 get indoctrinated in the schools that we're about to talk 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:06.879 about a little bit later, and we have another generation 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:12.600 of anti American self loathing fellow citizens. And then as well, 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:17.040 to bug any of your Bolshevik Bernie Brow friends, not 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.040 really to bug them, honestly, but to point out that 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:23.400 for those who are would fashion themselves JFK Democrats, your 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:27.640 grandfather's Democrats or your father's Democrats, to understand the stakes 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:32.040 if the Democratic Party is to be fully taken over 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.879 by its progressive wing, and that is sort of the 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:38.280 broader message that comes out of American Ingred, but it 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:40.919 uses ilhan Omar as the figure to get there and 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:44.520 also delves into not just the danger posed by an 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:50.080 anti American blame America first cohort of Democrats dominating that party, 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:53.320 but also the danger that ilhan Omar herself poses. And 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:55.960 I'm going to tease that out and explain it in 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:58.480 just a second, but I first want to point out 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:04.520 people talk about ilhan Omar and focus on this figure ingratitude. 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:07.240 That ingrate in my title is I think what the 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:10.760 viscerally negative reaction is to someone who says that on 0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:14.320 nine to eleven, some people did something, or maybe you 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:18.119 didn't see this tweet that Thanksgiving is a time to 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:21.600 remember that this is a country founded on genocide and 0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:26.760 colonialism and it's only continued that America is the scourge 0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:30.960 of the earth, conceived in sin and continuing to sin 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:35.840 in every engagement we've been involved in a country that 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:41.399 is unjust demanding a completely radicalized social justice so called 0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:45.520 agenda that would actually hurt the very people ilhan Omar 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:48.200 claims to speak for, and by the way, her district 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:50.919 is ranked on any number of measures as one of 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:54.560 the worst in the country for Black Americans minorities, who 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:57.359 she claims again to speak for, and her party claims 0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:03.639 to speak for. Someone who believes in overturning our capitalist order, 0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:11.800 free homes for all who need it, socialized medicine, abolish ice, 0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:16.119 so free for all at our borders, no actual freedom 0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:19.359 for American citizens, and the imperiling of our life and whim. 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:23.160 But again we need to It cannot be emphasized enough 0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:26.160 that on top of the radicalism, and we haven't even 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:29.119 talked about all of the jew hatred reflected in her 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:33.240 remarks and her associations and ties, and in spite of 0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:40.199 the alleged criminality associated with the bizarre allegation backed up 0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:42.920 with substantial evidence, and I go in chapter and verse 0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:46.840 an American ingreat to talk about it that she fraudulently 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:49.480 married her brother, a foreign national, in order to have 0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:52.000 him come over here, get an education, and then leave, 0:21:52.359 --> 0:21:54.520 at which point she reunited with the person with whom 0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:56.320 she had been with for years before and might have 0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:58.920 still been with during the years where she was married 0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:05.200 so called to this foreign national. On top of all 0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:07.760 of the raft of criminality associated with that, and it 0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:11.280 implicates not just marriage fraud and immigration fraud, but also 0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:16.159 student loan fraud as well, so educational fraud with respect 0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:20.640 to the public funding used to get him into school, 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:25.919 same school she attended, and then perjuring herself in the 0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:29.760 divorce proceedings where she broke off the relationship with this man, 0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:33.639 and then also by the way, tax fraud associated with 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:37.000 the fact that she filed jointly with her current husband, 0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:40.200 now actually divorced, but the person who she would ultimately marry, 0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:44.520 with whom she had had three children, filing jointly for 0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:46.840 taxes when she was not technically married to him and 0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:51.639 still technically married to this previous person that she had 0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:55.960 allegedly fraudulent, fraudulently married. Leave aside all that craziness for 0:22:56.000 --> 0:23:01.080 a second. Consider that background in context of how powerful 0:23:01.640 --> 0:23:07.440 Omar is not just symbolically but substantively. She was recently 0:23:07.520 --> 0:23:11.119 named the co chair of Democratic front runner Bernie Sanders 0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:15.600 campaign in the pivotal twenty twenty state of Minnesota, along 0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:18.800 with another gem Keith Ellison, the state attorney general whose 0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:21.520 seats she took when she became a member of the House. 0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:27.080 She recently proposed a battery of foreign policy bills that 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:31.119 Ben Rhodes described as the new progressive baseline. This is 0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:35.920 a foreign policy agenda that is about so called justice, equality, fairness, 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:44.359 making up for America's sins by appeasement, submission, demilitarizing quote unquote, 0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:49.919 and then, unless we forget this is a member of 0:23:49.960 --> 0:23:52.080 the House who, in spite of her known vario and 0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:55.919 anti semitism, the blame America first positions and siding with 0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:57.800 our adversaries by the way, as I'll get to in 0:23:57.840 --> 0:24:01.680 a moment, and the potentially commising background that would stop 0:24:01.720 --> 0:24:03.840 her from ever being able to get a security clearance 0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:06.879 under normal circumstances, but she doesn't need it because she 0:24:06.960 --> 0:24:09.359 has that House Foreign Affairs Committee seats and as a 0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:12.280 member of Congress, and oh, by the way, Grapple is 0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:15.240 with the most sensitive national security and foreign policy information 0:24:15.280 --> 0:24:19.359 and issues on that committee. She is able to act 0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:24.000 with total impunity while holding those positions because her party 0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:27.960
