WEBVTT - "You Didn't Build That" 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:15.440 You are entering the freedom hunt. The Democrats are showing 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:17.920 us who they are, and it does not look good 0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:22.680 if you believe in capitalism, free markets, and individual responsibility 0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:26.800 and ingenuity. Ocasio Cortez seems to be the voice of 0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:30.200 the far left. And then there's this all of a 0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:33.440 sudden Schultz coming out causing some problems for them that 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:36.400 are more coming up on the Buck Sexton Show. This 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.720 is the Buck Sexton Show where the mission or mission 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:45.800 is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make 0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:49.640 no mistake American, You're a great American. Again the Buck 0:00:49.680 --> 0:01:01.480 Sexton Show begins. No, Welcome to the Buck Sex and Show. Everybody, 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:03.400 Thank you so much for being here, Thank you for 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.319 joining me. It is always an honor of privilege and 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:08.399 a pleasure. We're going to cover a lot of ground 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:11.760 that down the show. We'll talk about ending wars and 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.840 how Republicans seem to have a real problem with that 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.920 and Democrats only have a problem with it when a 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:20.319 Republican president wants to do it. That's not a surprise. 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.839 Whatever Trump is for, they are against. And then we'll 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:28.360 also be joined by a senior former senior DA officer 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:30.759 about this huge fentanyl bus at the border, and just 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.800 what can we do about the fentanyl, the fight against 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:39.600 fencyl and all these opioid overdoses. That's that'll be a 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.840 really interesting conversation. And I have to talk about some 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:48.760 of the latest lunacy from MSNBC and what they're putting 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:52.120 out there in the Russia collusion conspiracy theories. They just 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.640 won't they won't give it up. They just won't stop. 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.320 Every day, I feel like it's the same Rachel Maddow's 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:01.680 show in particularly or whatever I've seen it, which is 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.680 pretty infrequent, but it's the same show every night. It's 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:11.200 something something Russia, blah blah, Trump, twenty fifth Amendment, impeachment, Russia, Russia. 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.520 I don't know how people watch this stuff so much. 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:18.320 I don't know who is watching this. It's so stupid people. 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.760 The people watching are not learning anything. It's not worth 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:27.160 their time. It's not true, but here we are. What 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.320 is true, though, is that the Democrats have gotten this 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:37.320 this unexpected and rude awakening from Schultz, a former CEO 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:42.520 of Starbucks, who is along with Michael Bloomberg, trying to 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.400 speak some sense to the Democratic Party, and the good 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.720 news for us, my fellow conservatives, is that the Democrats 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:53.160 don't want to hear it. They don't want to take 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.600 this sound fiscal advice from two people who do know 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.040 how to run a business. You say what you will 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.560 about Mike Bloomberg, say what you will about Schultz. They 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:09.160 know how to run a business, an incredibly effective, large 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:13.760 profitable business. And you've got to you've got to have 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:15.920 respect for that, right, I mean, you've got to be 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:20.639 able to look at what Howard Schultz has accomplished and say, Okay, well, 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.280 here's a guy who does have a real skill set, 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.640 a skill set that's not just demagoguery and telling stupid 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.440 people what they want to hear and then you know, 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:34.880 capitalizing on intersectional politics and identity politics and all the 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.680 rest of it. But but can really do something. I mean, 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:42.760 you are seeing now this happened today. People who are 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:47.880 trying to say that Schultz is not self made grew 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.400 up in a housing project. He's not self made because 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:55.400 the housing project, you see is paid forward taxpayer dollars, 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.640 and therefore he lived in subsidized housing. So it's not 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:03.240 true to call himself made. He is community made. He 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.320 is community made. Who does that begin to remind you 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.960 of who does that start to sound a little bit 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:14.520 like in terms of that approach to individual achievement. Play sixteen. 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:19.599 If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:23.200 some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:30.120 Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.719 had that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invest in roads 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:36.440 and bridges. If you've got a business that you didn't 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:43.000 build that, somebody else made that happen. If you've got 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:48.000 a business you didn't build that, somebody else made that happen. Obama, 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:54.600 you see, he encapsulated the left wing socialist Democrat Party 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:59.000 mantra in one moment, in a way that is timeless, 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:03.360 because that's what they really think. They don't believe an 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:08.240 individual excellence and achievement and the meritocracy. That's all nonsense 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:15.679 to them. It's all collective action, state intervention. And that's 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.520 why Schultz has been such a shake up for them. 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.440 That's what they don't like to hear this stuff about 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.520 a guy who brought himself up and did all this, 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.320 did all this on his own. They said, no, you 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.680 didn't do it on your own. We did it for you, 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.520 and therefore we can tell you what to think, what 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:34.520 to say. Your success is our success, Your success is 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:39.840 collective success. This is a recipe for the destruction of 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.760 the system that has brought so much incredible wealth to 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:49.479 this country. It's hard to fathom what it would have 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.599 been like in the world today if there had not 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:57.640 been an America leading the way for free markets, free enterprise, capitalism, 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:02.080 individual rights, rule of law. Democrats are willing to throw 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.840 that all in the bonfire of their progressive lunacy if 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:09.360 need be. That's why they're talking about taxes in this way. 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.279 They don't think the money is yours in the first place. 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:16.320 Taxes aren't the government taking from you. Taxes are what 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:20.960 you are allowed to get from the government. Scholtzen Blueberg 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:25.240 disagree play too. When I see Elizabeth Warren come out 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:32.000 with a ridiculous plan of taxing wealthy people, assert tax 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.520 of two percent because it makes a good headline, this 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:38.240 is what's wrong. I mean, you can't just attack these 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.600 things in a punitive way by punishing people. Number One, 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:45.240 I think the constitution lets you impose income taxes only, 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:48.240 so it probably is unconstitutional. Number Two, I don't know 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.599 of any country that has done that people earn money 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.800 to pay their taxes and then they don't have to 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.159 expect the government to come back and take some of 0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:04.359 it away. You know, Mike Bloomberg on a lot of things, 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.960 he's terrible. At least he understands what a stupid idea 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:13.040 it is to try and institute this wealth tax. Although 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.679 in principle, from a fairness perspective, it is more fair. 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:18.760 It is more fair than an income tax, that is true, 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.320 but you'd never be able to do it. But they're 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:25.320 not in the doing things game, the Democrats. They're in 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:26.920 the just say whatever you got to say to get 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:31.440 power game, and they're not in the celebrating individual achievement 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.400 frame of mind. They want to talk about all the 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.880 things that the Democrat programs and government assistance and all 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:42.240 that has done. Because if it was a collective achievement, 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.560 if Howard Schultz pulled himself up out of poverty because 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:51.200 of all the great things that left wing activist groups 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.320 have achieved with government programs or government housing, whatever it is, 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.000 then whatever he has we should be able to take 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:01.559 from him. Whatever wealth he has is at our leave. 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:05.960 We let him have it, right, We being the collective 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:12.160 of the progressive status left. This is disconcerting. I mean, 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.040 this is going right. They were not expecting to have, 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:20.600 I think at this time, one the open advocacy for 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.480 infanticide by Democrats and two of the most major states 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:29.520 in the country. And two this unexpected challenge to core 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:35.600 left wing Democrat beliefs, that being that you can't just 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:39.560 tax people into oblivion and pretend like you don't have 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:43.720 to understand a balance sheet and costs and the ingo 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:47.160 the outgo and what's happening in a business. Those are 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.000 important factors in how you would run the government too. 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:56.120 But you know, you didn't build that. Howard Schultz didn't 0:08:56.160 --> 0:09:00.120 make himself. The people that put together the project, that 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.520 took the taxes to fund it, they made him. I 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:05.920 also want today say that anyone who scrubs a toilet 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.120 works harder than Howard Schultze ever has. I'll tell you 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.520 I've scrubbed a lot of toilets. It's harder to run 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.959 Starbucks and it is to scrub a toilet. All right, 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:18.520 So the left needs to get a grip here. They're 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:24.120 kind of you know, rise up working class routine is 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.720 not gonna last very long unless they get tethered to 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:32.040 reality real soon and we will be right back as women. 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.800 That the pay gap and the wage gap is an 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:40.240 injustice that persists through secrecy, and it's an injustice that 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:44.199 persists to the present day. The Paycheck Fairness Act addresses, 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.960 among many things, two very critical ones. One is that 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.800 we cannot ask for salary history and pay people depending 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:58.640 on their salary history any more anymore, because it is 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:03.200 time we pay people what they are worth and not 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.480 how little they are desperate enough to accept. And that 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.439 has nothing to do with their history. It has everything 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:13.160 to do with what they are worth today. This woman, 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:18.920 Okazia Cortez, is a just wild ignoramus on the economy 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:23.160 and really it doesn't know anything, does not know anything, 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.760 and it's becoming more and more apparent all the time. 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.200 And I tweeted out today it's obvious to me that 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:33.280 she's overpaid. Whatever she's making in Congress, it's too much. 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.960 But how would how would this be instituted? The notion 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:43.200 of a Paycheck Fairness app Act, And that the wage 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:46.840 gap is this injustice. The wage gap between men and 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.840 women is a myth. It's a myth. Libs keep talking 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.079 about it. They pretend to care about science and facts. 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:56.960 There is no wage gap. If there were a wage gap, 0:10:57.000 --> 0:11:00.160 which you would find is in jobs where they're are 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:04.120 that there's really very little difference in the quality of 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.960 the employee, you would have whole companies where all they 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.120 want to do is hire women. Because if you could 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.320 save twenty percent, So I think it's over twenty percent. 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.640 They say it's seventy Mike, what are the seventy seven 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.640 cents on a dollar? I think was it twenty three 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:20.160 percent something like that. That's, you know, whatever the myth is. 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.240 I think the myth probably changes every time, but I 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.400 think it's inn seventy seven or seventy two cents on 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:27.480 the dollar. For every every dollar manner and have you 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.960 could save twenty or thirty percent on your labor costs 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.920 for a business, you'd have a massive advantage. A lot 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:35.959 of businesses which people who have never run any or 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.840 don't know anyone who runs them, run on a pretty 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:42.080 pretty narrow margin. You know, there are some businesses where 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:47.800 it's a razor thin margin, and the idea that you'd 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.400 be able to just come along and say, well, you know, 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:55.600 this person should get paid X because well because what 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.840 because what? How how will you even know her? Thing 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.200 about how you shouldn't be able to ask for somebody's 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.040 salary history. I say to that a whole On a second, 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.320 isn't that an indicator of their what they have been 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.360 valued at in other workplaces for similar work? I mean, 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.880 isn't it relevant to the discussion. I don't think it 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.000 determines your whole you know, I don't think it terms 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:22.520 your whole worth. But this all comes from the lie 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:25.520 that people like to be told that they're not making 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:29.000 as much money as they think they should because somebody 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:32.240 else is holding them back for an unfair reason. And 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:36.360 life is not fair, business is not fair. That's all true. 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.079 We can start from that proposition. But it's not all 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.600 because somebody is a man or a woman or any 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.960 of these things. It's all more complicated than that. I mean. 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.600 But to pass a paycheck Fairness Act, this is just 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:53.680 going to be a huge invitation for all kinds of 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:58.400 lawsuits and for people to essentially come up with excuses for, 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.839 you know, why they don't negotiate well for themselves. But 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:05.280 I can tell you negotiating as somebody who has had 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.200 a negotiate a fair amount of his own employment contracts recently, 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:14.040 Negotiating deals requires not just judgment, but a little bit 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:18.880 of you've got to have some self confidence and also 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:24.720 a little tinge of assertiveness, not aggression, but assertiveness. It's 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.079 a skill. There's a reason why people who are very 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:31.000 good negotiators are paid for that. And obviously President Trump 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:34.839 takes a tremendous amount of pride in what he views 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:40.319 as his unparalleled skills of negotiation. Right, it is a skill. 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.840 It's not just something that anyone can do. And because 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.120 of the assertiveness factor as well, you're always going to 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.560 have people who are a little better at getting that 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.400 higher solider than somebody else because they're willing to look, 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.080 are they willing to walk away from the job. Are 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:58.160 they willing to say that they have another they have 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:00.959 another offer when they do? Yeah, seventy two cents in 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:03.280 the dollar. Proucer, Mike semi Hero. It varies, but that's 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:07.800 kind of considered the average. That's a massive savings. If 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:11.960 a man and a woman are equally qualified for a job, 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.360 and the only reason that you would hire the man 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:18.120 is because of a man. Anybody who's a capitalist with 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.400 an IQ over fifty would say, I'm just gonna hire women. 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.080 I'm gonna save almost thirty percent on my labor costs. 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.880 It's not that simple. Does not work that way, And 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:31.239 this is where you start to get into that conversation 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:32.960 and a lot of people, including someone the right that 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:34.760 I don't like to hear, which is, you know, men 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:38.640 and women also make different decisions. This is reflected in 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:42.360 how people say, oh, well, women are relegated to dominance 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:45.640 in lower paying jobs. That's not true. Yes, there are 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:47.280 a lot of women who are in nursing. There are 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.320 a lot of women who are in elementary school teaching. 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:54.600 That's true, and that's great. There are also women who 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:59.160 outnumber men by a pretty wide margin in the veterinary field, 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:03.240 which you make really good money. I mean, vets can 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.080 some ways have a better deal than a lot of doctors. 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:08.320 Do you make really good money? Is that because there's 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:11.440 anti male sexism in the veterinary field? Though, it's because 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.000 women are more drawn to that field than men are, 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.600 because biology matters, you know. This is this is when 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:19.960 you start to have to look at the cold hard 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.760 facts of existence in the world as it is, not 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:26.040 as liberals would like to pretend that it is. It's 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.360 so much easier to say that someone else is the 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:32.160 cause of Look, I have so many frustrations in life. 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.400 I have frustrations day to day. I have frustrations. You know, 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:37.760 this show should be on every single radio station in 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.880 the country. That hasn't happened yet. You know, I got frustrate. 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:46.360 Everyone's got their frustrations, right. But it's easier, and it's 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.680 understandable why we take take this approach. It's easier to 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:53.000 be told that the frustrations that you have, the feelings 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.800 you have of you know, either coming up short, or 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:59.080 it's not enough or whatever, all of that. It's easier 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.000 for that to feel like it is the result of 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:07.000 some externality. Somebody else is taking away what is truly 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:10.040 what should be you, or someone is taking away what 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.080 you would rightfully get if it were not for them. 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.960 You know, you didn't build that, right You didn't build that. 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.080 Everybody built it. Therefore we all should get a piece 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:20.200 of it. We all sho be able to take someone 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:21.720 from you because you only have it because we gave 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:25.920 it to you. That's one very effective way of politically 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:30.960 capitalizing on envy, telling a massive people that, Okay, you 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:32.760 don't like your job, you don't like your You know, 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:34.280 you don't like your station in life, you don't like 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.880 how things are going. It's not because of any choices 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:40.120 you made. And it's not because maybe you just haven't 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.240 been that lucky yet and needed to stay in the fight. 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:48.600 Somebody else is the reason for this. There, close mindedness, 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:52.160 their bigotry, their sexism, there or whatever, that's the reason 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:56.080 why you don't have that's a seductive argument. We want 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:59.520 to believe these things because it is much harder to 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:03.880 sell correct which requires self honesty. That's a much more 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.800 challenging thing people to do, and that's not sexy to sell. 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:11.280 And politics, folks, people don't like to hear really personal responsibility. 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.200 They don't like to hear life is. And I've said 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.040 this to people that are very close to me recently. 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:17.080 You know, the older I get, the more I realize 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.520 we are all just a compilation of our choices. We 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.040 are a compilation of our choices. Who you are as 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.159 a person is just really you are all the choices 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:31.800 you have made throughout life, better for worse. That's what 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:34.520 you know. How you treat people, how you treat yourself, 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:37.840 how you go about your day to day everything you 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.920 are just your choices, your actions and your words, your choices. 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:46.000 But if a politician come along and say, oh no, 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:50.720 that's not true. You're you're having these problems. You have 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:55.440 these frustrations because of someone else. This is why socialism 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:59.320 is so potent because of this, because socialism both pretends 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:01.240 to have the answers to all of your ills and 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:03.800 frustrations and pretend to be able to solve them in 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:08.440 a way that's going to be more more reultan more prosperity, 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:11.280 and be more fair and better for everybody. So why 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:14.200 wouldn't you sell it? Why wouldn't you buy into this? 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:16.040 Why wouldn't you want to be a part of this? Right? 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:21.639 Socialism is appealing psychologically. That's why it's so important that 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:25.560 we pull it apart and tackle this based on the 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:29.080 substance and only mock it insofar as we have to, 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:30.920 or because we have to have a little fun when 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:35.040 AOC is talking. More coming up and we can all 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:38.520 almost every single person this country can acknowledge some privilege 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:42.560 of some type. You know, I'm a cisgendered woman. I 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:47.679 will never know the trauma of feeling like I'm not 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:49.920 born in the right body, and that that is a 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.920 privilege that I have, no matter how poor my family 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:57.200 was when I was born. But it's really hard for 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:01.800 some people to admit that they you know, it's part 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:07.440 of this weird American dream mythology that we have that 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:11.280 for a lot of in a lot of circumstances, isn't 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:15.959 as true, or isn't as clearly communicated as we like 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:19.680 for it to be, or we wish it were there. 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:26.119 You go more aoc Okazio Cortez in action here saying 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:31.200 things that kind of sounds smart, at least to liberals, 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:33.560 but when you drill down into them a little bit, 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:38.280 when when you look just beneath that surface levels, it's 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:44.399 complete silliness. It has no real meaning. Or rather, we 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:47.080 can start from the proposition of ask what does that mean? 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:51.560 She acknowledges her privilege because she was born sis gendered. Essentially, 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:56.760 what she's saying is, because I'm not suffering from gender dysphoria, 0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:00.919 I have a privilege that I have to acknowledge. Now, 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:05.760 let's just start with this. Where does it end? Where 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.800 does privilege end? Is there attractive people privilege? Because I 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:10.680 think that for people that I know who are really 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:14.440 good looking, that makes their life easier than anything else 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:16.439 possible except for maybe, you know, having a lot of 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:19.880 family money. And maybe some people would even take being 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:22.440 really really good looking over having a lot of family money. 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:24.520 But the people that I know, we're really good looking. 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:26.520 Life is that? Is that a form of privilege that 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:32.040 has to be accounted for in political and social interactions? 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:36.399 Where does this stop? Do I have to acknowledge my 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:41.159 privilege because I don't suffer from multiple personality disorder? I 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.439 do have that. I do not suffer from multiple personality disorder, 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:46.320 which is a very rare condition as it turns out, 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:52.080 But I don't have that, So am I privileged? The 0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:55.560 transgender community is, as a percentage of this country, very small, 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:58.360 but we talk about it a lot, don't we mean, 0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:04.640 the Democrats and the media have very clear and very 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:09.000 obvious agendas when it comes to the not just the 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:12.879 LGBTQ community, but specifically the trans community. Now gets a 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:16.439 lot of attention, and this is now trendy. It is 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:21.359 fashionable to say that being born cisgendered, which just means 0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:24.080 you are either male or female. That's what cis gender is. 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:26.800 I'll tell you I got a bigger I got a 0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:30.439 bigger actual functional vocabulary than ninety nine percent a leftist 0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:32.800 that I meet, And I'm just not saying a hundred 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:35.000 percent that don't want to sound conceited, but it's actually 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:38.400 one hundred percent. I had to learn what the word 0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:43.560 cisgendered meant two years ago. I said, what what is this? Cisgendered? 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:48.000 All of a sudden. But this is important to the 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:51.800 left because talking about privilege in any context, it is 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:54.560 really just a function of acknowledging the victim status of 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:58.520 someone else. And victim status is used by leftists, by 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:03.240 democrats in this country to transfer power from some groups 0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:05.560 to others, because when you're a victim, you can make 0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:08.520 a claim on your oppressor. So if you are a 0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:11.840 victim of society because of the way you look, the 0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:14.600 way you sound, the way you you know, your sexual orientation, 0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:18.760 whatever it may be, the left then uses that and 0:22:18.480 --> 0:22:22.480 it's it's especially effective against moral and decent people who 0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:24.800 you know, want to do right by others and can 0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:28.320 get guilted into things. It's particularly effective with them. But 0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:32.360 they can transfer power then to these oppressed groups because 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:36.000 we owe it to them. It is owed to you 0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:38.440 to have special legislation that protects you in this way 0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:40.159 or that way, it is owed to you that we 0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:44.119 change our tradition of free speech so that the words 0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:47.120 we use do not offend people within a certain community 0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:50.639 or any of the rest of it. This is a 0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:53.760 core ludacy. I mean, this is why Trump was able 0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:55.879 to win the You know, he doesn't talk about it 0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:57.919 as much anymore, which I find a little frustrating. But 0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:01.320 political correctness, which he used to call out by name, 0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:06.240 is stifling, and people with any sense are really sick 0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:09.680 of it. Just don't don't want to hear any more 0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:12.560 of the nonsense from the PC police. Think that the 0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:18.160 entire thing is completely overdone now and and is hurting 0:23:18.160 --> 0:23:21.360 our culture. As I've discussed with you, it hurts comedy, 0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:25.280 it hurts television and entertainment, and you know, just it 0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:28.920 hurts our ability to discuss things. I'm not just saying 0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:31.120 this because it's a lazy way of saying I could 0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:33.000 say even funny or something I do on this show, 0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:35.760 But there are a lot of times when there's a 0:23:35.800 --> 0:23:37.000 joke that I want to make and I know I 0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:38.719 can't make it because even if you're okay with it, 0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:42.560 all it takes is one smarmy lib in the audience 0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:44.400 who happens to be tuning in and then they want 0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:46.719 to make some big thing and they write an email 0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:50.280 to this you know, organization, and you know, then I 0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:52.719 got all kinds of problems. But one other thing here 0:23:52.760 --> 0:24:00.560 is on this competing categories of these competing categories of oppression, 0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:03.639 which is what the and this is all intersectionality. This 0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:06.760 is all just a discussion really of intersectionality. And Okazi 0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:10.840 Courtez saying that she's privileged because she assist gendered. What 0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:14.080 are we supposed to really do with that? You know, 0:24:14.119 --> 0:24:16.399 I asked before, what does it mean? What do we do? 0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:19.800 What action are we supposed to take? Is it really 0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:21.600 enough for it's just to walk around and say, well, 0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:24.560 you know, I recognize my privilege, and I recognize it, 0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:28.560 so then I oh, our songs are okay, that's it. No, 0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:33.160
