WEBVTT - Worst Presidential Debate Ever 0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:14.480 You are entering the freedom much. There was a Democrat 0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:17.000 debate last night. It was a debacle, but there was 0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:18.799 some interesting stuff and I'll tell you about today. You 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:20.400 don't have to watch the debate. Just listen to the 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:24.680 buck Sexton Show. Also, a pandemic approaching us shows how 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:28.600 concerned should you be? Without a more coming up? This 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:31.920 is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:37.960 is to decode what really matters with passionable intelligence. Make 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:41.800 no mistake American, you're a great American. Again the Buck 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:51.040 Sexton Show begins. Remember he's a great guy. No, I 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.240 think that Donald Trump thinks it would be better if 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:57.280 he's a president. I do not think so. Vladimitt Plutin 0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:59.920 thinks that Donald Trumps should be president. On in state, 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:06.080 and that's why Russia is helping you get Welcome to 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.679 the Buck s Exit Show, everybody. It was great last night. Man, 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.080 it was like it was like watching two guys at 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.000 the retirement home and be like, I'm running Bingo tonight. No, 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:18.560 I'm running Bingo tonight. Bloomberg and Bernie getting after it 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:20.760 right there, right off the top. Bloomberg with a with 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:25.640 a low blow on Russia wants you to win the bus. Look, 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:31.080 I'll tell you, I challenge you to a I was 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.160 gonna say arm wrestling contest, but I don't know who 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.759 would win that one. Something they'd have to figure it out. 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.600 So I did my duty last night, team. I watched 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.000 and live tweeted the debate, lighting it up obviously on 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:46.000 the on the Twitter. I should post some of it 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.559 today to a Facebook as well, Facebook dot com slash 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.320 buck Sex and if you do not already follow me there, 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:51.880 it's a great way to communicate with me and the 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.560 rest of the team and producer Mark Brucer. Mark is 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:58.120 in there all the time defending the honor of the 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:03.120 Avengers franchise. I would also say that last night was 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.960 the biggest waste of two hours that I think I've 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.360 had in many ways since watching the first two hours 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:09.919 of The Avengers. But I will go back and watch 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.120 the third hour, which I didn't even realize existed because 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.320 I bailed. Here's what you need to know about the 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:18.600 debate last night, and then we'll get into some of 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.400 the specific There were some policy moments here and there, 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.200 but here's what you really need to know. First of all, 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:30.480 it's a total debacle. These networks are not able to 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.919 put on what they think they can, which is a 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:38.880 high standard journalistically superior event where we get into all 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.800 the issues. These are TV journalists, I mean, they're they're 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:45.239 completely replaceable. A lot of them don't even know really 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.760 anything about politics and CBS. It was a total mess 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:53.399 last night, an absolute mess. In fact, if CBS's plan 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.560 was to run a debate so poorly that all the 0:02:55.639 --> 0:03:02.320 candidates on stage by comparison looked competent, mission accomplished, CBS. 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:04.280 You can watch the debate last night, you would have 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.200 said to yourself, well, these Democrats probably run things better 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.160 than the people that are running this debate, that's for sure. 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:16.120 It was really overall very JV. The moderators were weak, 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.560 their questions were bad. It's a reminder that really what 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.320 they should do. I mean, I think we should do 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.000 this like an all star game in some of the 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:26.960 sports leagues. We should have people vote. You know, there 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.080 should be some kind of an online poll or some 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.840 some polling company for who in the media space should 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.720 be the moderators, and we should do an open vote. 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.040 I mean, I think that's or at least, you know, 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.160 you could do it. Of I don't know, Democrats for 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.200 their prime or whatever it is. But you should then 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.560 also allow it to be streamed by all the networks. 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.520 There shouldn't be this one network at a time thing. 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.360 It shows favoritism. I mean, the fact that Fox doesn't 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.680 get a Democratic debate just shows what a bunch of 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:56.200 whimps the Democrats are. It would be an excellent debate, 0:03:56.240 --> 0:04:00.080 I promise you, and it would have huge ratings, and 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.960 they have Martha McCallum and Brett bar and probably Chris Wallace. 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.320 I mean, I already already know who the moderators for 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.400 Democrat debate would be, and they would do an excellent job. 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.280 They would ask questions that aren't unfair. They would ask 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.520 real questions. Last night was just nonsense, a lot of 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:18.880 wokeness questions. Who's the most woke on the stage, who 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:23.440 can tell us how they're going to do the most 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:28.919 for you know, minority candidates, even though Joe Biden, by 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:32.480 the way, constantly tells us that he has done so 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.680 much in his career for minority not minority candid's for 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:40.040 minority voters. You ask him for the specifics, and all 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.520 of a sudden he gets very hazy. You asked him 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:47.800 for the specifics, and it starts to fall apart. Joe Biden. 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.120 I was hoping last night somebody would say something about 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.920 the MCNA carta, just so Biden could start with I wrote, 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.880 I wrote that bill because that's what he says about everything. 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:03.400 I wrote the dang bill. He really didn't. Biden that 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:08.760 he has been the great hope of the establishment tells 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.839 you all you need to know about the state of 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:15.560 the Democrat establishment right now. Tells you a whole lot. 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.360 Here was some of the I mean, look, I wish 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.359 I could drill down on the major takeaway. I'd like 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.640 to start whenever we have these discussions team about a 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:27.520 debate like this, I like to start with a thirty 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.599 thousand foot view and then drill down in the specifics. 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.400 The thirty thousand foot view is that the Democrats are 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:36.920 crazy and that their party has completely gone off the rails, 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.240 that they have unimpressive candidates, that they have policy proposals 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.160 that will not work, that they're not operating in the 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:47.280 realm of reality or math. They don't care about what 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:52.920 we have learned as a country from history, and they 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.839 didn't reassure anyone last night. Who if you had questions 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.240 about these Democrats last night, if you had any concerns 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.359 about their competent, see in their ability to do what 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.440 is necessary here last night did not make you feel 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:09.800 any better about any of that. Here, for example, is 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.320 I mean, just to give you I'm saying they're silly. 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.280 I'm saying they're crazy. Well, let me give you some 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.440 examples of this. Joe Biden talking about gun control. They 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.400 got to bring up gun control of Democrat debate, even 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.880 though nothing ever happens. It's just a waste of everyone's time. 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:27.480 States are blue. States are engaged in gun control grabs 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.320 at the federal level. It's been decades. Right, Here's what 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.360 Biden says. Here's his contribution. Mister, I wrote the bill. 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.800 He has to yell at play three. One hundred and 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:41.080 fifty million people have been killed since two thousand and seven, 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:45.080 when Bernie voted to exempt the gun manufacture some liability, 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:49.680 more than all the wars, including Vietnam, from that point on. 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:55.400 You heard that right, one hundred and fifty million people, 0:06:55.440 --> 0:07:00.280 He says, he didn't stumble. It wasn't a misspe. It 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.960 was an one hundred and fifty million, I mean a thousand, No, 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:07.400 one hundred and fifty million people, half the population of 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:11.400 the United States, according to Joe Biden, have died in 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.160 gun violence incidents since the year two thousand and seven. 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:22.600 Does he not hear himself? Is he just so robotic 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:28.440 in the memorization of canned phrases? And has he been 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:32.680 just so trained by handlers and speech writers that he 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:34.360 doesn't even think about the words that come out of 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:38.760 his mouth. I'm not am I being unfair? Would you 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:40.720 go on TV if you were trying to be the 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.600 leader of the free world and say, you know, thirty 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:47.800 thirty thirty billion people a year die in car accidents 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:51.320 in this country and then just let that hang out there? 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.320 You probably I mean thirty I think by it might 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.480 even be fifty, you know, I think thirty thousand's about right. 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:58.679 Thirty thousand people something like that die in auto related 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:00.880 accidents every year in the United States. Maybe maybe it's 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.080 twenty to thirty thousand. If you said thirty billion, though, 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:07.520 I feel like you'd probably correct yourself. We are judging 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.720 these people. They want a tremendous amount of power. They 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.200 want power over your lives. They want to be making 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:15.040 decisions that will affect the economy, that will affect your 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:18.960 children's future, we should be willing to judge them harshly. 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:22.400 Joe Biden's too old for this. Bernie Sanders is too 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.280 old for this. Mike Bloomberg is too old for this. 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:31.800 Elizabeth Warren too old for this. And yeah, here we are. 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.679 And you'd say, oh, buck, but what about Trump. Trump 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:39.520 is a dynamo Trump, you know, rally after rally. I mean, 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:45.960 he's one of the most engaging, energetic public not public, 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:50.199 you know speakers, public performers I've ever seen. They didn't 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:53.199 really think that Trump is lacking a step these days. 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.880 Does he just mumble and meander off into into nothing? No, 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.800 they say, oh, he lies, he exaggerates. He's a salesman, 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.600 but he's a salesman who gets the deal done. He 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.720 doesn't forget where he is. He doesn't forget what you 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:10.920 don't forget what what his job is. So Biden had 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:12.920 a night where also, I don't know why he thinks 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.480 it's a good idea to shout. So let me tell 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.199 you this. I wrote the bill, and I did my 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.080 whole life, my whole life, everything with Joe Biden starts 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.440 my whole life, my whole career. I wrote that I 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:29.360 did that. This guy is such a poser. It didn't 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.920 He didn't do these things. He's just another senator who 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.439 was voting or his staff, you know, added a paragraph 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.080 to some bill past twenty years ago or something. Joe 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.800 Biden's not a leader. And all this talk about how 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:44.160 he's vice president. I mean, let's be honest, vice president 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.400 stretching back to the very first vice president in the 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.839 United States history. Joy, don't tell it, Gentley, don't do 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:55.439 all that much. We know this, but Biden's shouting about 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.160 how he does so much all the time. It's it's 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:01.440 simply absurd. But if we're going to talk really observed, 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:04.120 we could get into Bernie Sanders on the numbers. This 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:11.360 was remarkable. The Medicare for all is the primary policy 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:15.760 proposal of Bernie Sanders. I would note his other policy 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:19.480 proposals are also far left, and that he is, and 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:22.760 people are increasingly waking up to this, a Marxist. He 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:28.520 is a Marxists. It's not a Denmark style European you know, 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:32.360 big government socialist. He's actually further left than they are 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.920 on a whole bunch of issues, on all really the 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.520 important issues. And but what do we even what do 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:42.280 we even think a Bernie Sanders foreign policy would look like? 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:48.000 Do we even know? Of course not, But you had 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:51.360 Bernie when pushed on the cost, and he gets all 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.360 flustered about this, as if it shouldn't matter what the 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.840 cost is. When Bernie is pushed on this issue, he 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.200 makes up numbers. No, the same way that Biden should 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:03.959 not be able, it should not be able to come 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.160 out of Joe Biden's mouth that one hundred and fifty 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:08.520 million people in the last decade or so have died 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:13.720 in gun violence in America. That's crazy talk. This is 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:18.200 also crazy talk from Bernie Sanders play clip aid producer Mark. 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:23.640 What the Health in Human Services have said in analyzing 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:30.160 healthcare costs, what Yale recent Yale study has said is 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:36.160 that your program would cost some fifty trillion dollars over 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:39.360 a ten year period. We would continue to pay, in 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:44.000 some cases ten times more for the same exact prescription drugs. 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:49.000 What every study out there, conservative or progressive says, Medicare 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:53.360 for all will save money as will cost about forty 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:59.360 five billion, not sixty trillion. That's right. This is the 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:03.240 proverbial chocolate cake that will not make you fat eat 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:05.960 as much of it as you want. There's enough for everybody, 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.240 it will never run out, and you don't have the 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:12.680 painting for it. That's what Bernie Sanders is offering. Does 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:14.840 anyone who is an adult who really thinks about this 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:18.360 believe what Bernie Sanders is saying. It's going to save 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:22.680 money to give every American the same healthcare. That's what 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:24.439 would have Medicare for All means we're all in the 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:27.080 same healthcare plan all of a sudden, which would de 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:30.440 facto turn all healthcare providers into government employees. You know why, 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.520 the government's going to determine what the reimbursement rates are 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:37.559 for Medicare for All, So the government's going to decide 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:41.760 who's getting money in the healthcare system all of a sudden. 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.480 You know, your hope that if you have to have 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.079 heart surger or if you have to go get cancer treatment, 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:48.960 and you're gonna go see you know, that's the point 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:50.720 in life where you want the guy with all the 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.240 fancy degrees in the orgal with all the fancy degrees 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.240 in the wall, and you know, decades of experience and 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:59.200 they're like a superstar in the field and whatever, you know, 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.560 whatever you gotta do to get that treatment. If your 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.240 life is on the line, No, now you're gonna go in. 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.760 It'll be like a glorified DMV employee telling you, yeah, 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.400 I don't know, maybe you've got any biotic resistant bacteria, 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.440 but you know, maybe it's maybe it's something else. I 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.080 don't know. To go to CBS. Here's a prescription. See 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.800 you later. You had your three minutes are up? Yeah, 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.080 I mean it'll be it'll be free, but that's what 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.360 you're looking at. And sure, if you have an ear 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:26.240 infection or you have strep throat, it might be really nice. 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.240 You get to go to the local government doctor and 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:30.600 you know you'll wait about two or three hours in 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:34.880 the waiting room, but then you know you'll you'll get 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:37.600 your prescription. But if you if you have chronic back 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.000 pain desperately need to have some kind of spinal surgery 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.520 or something, you know, the government I'm sure will give 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:46.400 you really excellent pain meds. Hopefully you won't become addicted, 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.320 and you know it'll ruin your life, but they'll they'll 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:51.439 prescribe you in the three minute visit that you're offered 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.160 by this Medicare for All program that will now be 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.360 the healthcare for the entire country. They'll give you that 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.280 prescription for painkillers, and you know, you'll wait six to 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.360 nine months before you have a surgery where also what 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.000 happens if it goes wrong, you're gonna sue that. You're 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.959 gonna sue the government. Everyone's gonna want to see the government. 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:11.280 Now that government's got endless, endless pockets. Right, the pockets 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.240 of the government are deeper than anybody else's. They can 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:16.760 print money, So they're gonna have to institute toward reform, 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:18.199 but it will be the bad kind of towart reform 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:21.040 because it'll effectively be what prosecutors have in this country, 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.320 which is a which is qualified immunity. So doctors that 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.400 are going to be operating on you because the government's 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.400 going to be the one on the hook for you know, 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.880 whatever it is that you're suing them for, because the 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:34.840 government's going to be the one determining the procedures. The 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.400 government's gonna be the ones that are setting the reimbursement rates. 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.240 You know, that's guess what they're gonna say. Now, you 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.160 can't keep suiting because they're gonna otherwise you'll just sue 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:46.600 doctors out of existence all over the place and there 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.720 won't be able to be a market increase in premium 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.280 rates for insurance because that's not even gonna matter anymore, 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.120 because doctors won't be able to charge you different fees 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.440 for different different fees based on their skill and their 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:00.240 service level. I mean, I know that we're just we're 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.640 just skating around the surface of this disaster right now. 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:04.160 I mean, I could spend the whole show just talking 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:07.600 about all the ways that this is a terrible idea. 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:09.720 And whenever he brings up Canada, whenever he brings up 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:11.600 the UK, he brings up these other countries. Yeah, they 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:15.200 also have very large private healthcare systems and that's where 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.680 the rich people go and they really need it. And 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.600 do we want the Canadian economy or do we want 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:24.720 the American economy? Which country is more the engine of 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.440 wealth and with wealth, freedom and prosperity not just for 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:28.880 its own people, but for the rest of the world. 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.880 Canadians are lovely people. I'm very fond of them. Canada 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.320 is not a world leader or anything except having water, freshwater. 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:41.800 It's true. So what exact and probably polar bears bears, 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.520 what are we really thinking we're going to accomplish here? 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:47.760 Bernie Sanders is saying this is going to cost forty 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:52.240 five billion dollars, really giving everybody the right to go 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:56.480 in buy law and say, hey, treat me. I'm here, 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:00.960 make my medical problems go away. You got no skin 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:02.800 in the game. No copay, no nothing, because it is 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.920 Medicare for all proposal, no co pays, no caut sharing. 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:14.520 This destroys individual individual ingenuity. It destroys any sense of 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:19.840 a market based healthcare system. It's a disaster. I promise you, look, 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:21.200 I would love it if I could see the best 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.760 doctors and never pay for healthcare. I have health insurance. 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:25.640 I try to go to the doctors as infrequently as 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.760 possible because our medical system is already largely ruined by 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:32.320 regulations written by people like Bernie Sanders. You always hear 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:34.760 about how you know, public school teachers, all the teachers unions. 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:37.560 Your teachers just want to teach. Yeah, doctors actually do 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:39.240 want to heal people, but they spend all their time 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:42.960 fending off lawsuits, doing paperwork, and dealing with the bureaucracy 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.720 because the bureaucracy keeps trying to tell them how to 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:48.280 do medicine. Because people say, oh, I just I want 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:49.720 the state to take care of me and keep me 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:51.400 safe and warm at night. The state doesn't do that, 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:53.040 that'll do other things to you at night. It won't 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:58.600 keep you safe and warm. You're in the freedom hunt. 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:05.320 This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. I will say 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:07.240 it's kind of fun to do the debates these days 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:10.080 because all the conservatives bad. We just sit back and 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:12.679 it is listening to these democrats. It is like a 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:15.880 mystery science theater vibe when you sit there and hear 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.320 the crazy stuff that they're saying, and you get other 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.119 at all the conservatives I know in media who who 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.879 are reasonably insightful and clever. We're all just trying to 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:27.160 how do one another all the time with pointing out 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:29.760 the absurdity that is on display. And I've got to 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:31.800 imagine there are a lot of a lot of real 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:35.560 intelligent Democrats sitting at home who got to be watching 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:39.399 these debates saying, oh my gosh, what what the heck 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:42.080 is going on here? What are we doing? What is 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.439 happening with our party? This is crazy because from my 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:47.680 side of it, as much as I kind of weep 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:51.720 for the country as a political analyst and at a 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:58.720 radio host, this year is manufik. It is fantastic, It 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.760 really is. I I guess that would be fantastique as well. 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:05.240 It's great man. Maybe he's Democrats. They're giving me plenty 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.320 of material, that is for sure. Thanks for listening to 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:12.600 the Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:17.040 the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. But 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.880 on this issue of the potential political peril you could 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:24.280 you and Democrats can suffer. In Florida, Congressman Donna Chealelis said, 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:26.679 come on down to Miami and meet with the people 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.040 who have been affected by his regime. Would you be 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:30.600 willing to do that? And hear them out? Go I 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:32.680 go all over the country. Of course, Shuber, here is 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:36.520 a dictatorship. I've said that eighty million clients. But that 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.600 does not mean to say as a Bomber pointed out 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:43.119 that even under a dictatorship, you could teach people to 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.480 read and to write, that you could provide healthcare to 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.639 old people. He just doubles down on this because he's 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:52.159 a Marxist, triples down. He won't back off this. He 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.960 will not accept that it is unacceptable to pick out 0:18:56.520 --> 0:19:03.840 one minute area of how a regime operated and highlight that, 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:08.520 elevate that as something that we need to hear. Yeah, 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:12.280 of course a dictatorship can teach some people to read. 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:16.159 Of course a dictatorship can feed some people. You know, 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:21.880 Totalitarian regimes don't want to eliminate all of their subjects, right, 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:24.119 They don't want to kill everybody because they don't have 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:29.040 a country anymore. But they enslave everybody psychologically and physically, 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:33.680 and they destroy freedom. And freedom is an athema to 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:38.159 a dictatorship, but as an athema to authoritarianism. And Bernie 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:41.399 Sanders is not making anybody who is concerned about his 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:45.879 totalitarian impulses feel any better. I've read to you about 0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:47.920 what the Cuban regime was like in the sixties and 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.359 the seventies. They've repudiated none of it. By the way, 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:58.000 the Cuban government is still a totalitarian kleptocracy of thugs. 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:01.720 Quite honestly, in a just world, you know, we would 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.119 send down the eighty second. I'm not saying we should 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:06.360 do this, but if we were really just seeking justice, 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:09.320 you would send down the eighty second airborne and you 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:13.000 would have trials once we had rounded all of the 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:16.600 Cuban leadership up, you would have trials for war crimes, 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:18.080 and a lot of them would end up at the 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:22.199 end of a rope or firing squad, whatever we preferred. 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:30.560 The Cuban government is full of murderous, brutal fucks, far worse, 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:32.800 far worse. By the way, you know, we hear so 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:36.200 much about about Putin and partisan who's no friend of 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:40.879 Putin than Putin such a bad guy. Putin legitimately and 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.879 I know we've gotten this whole Russia collusion insanity to 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:45.680 the point now where you can't even have a normal 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:50.760 discussion about Russia. The Soviet Union, Yeah, obviously enslave hundreds 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:52.920 of millions of people murdered, millions, tens of millions of 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:56.879 people of sovieting a different story. Russia. Yeah, Putin is 0:20:56.880 --> 0:21:02.520 effectively an authoritarian, no question, Although Mike Bloomberg has questions 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:07.479 about authoritary in China. Will get to that. But if 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:12.200 you were to look at Russian public support for Putin, 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:16.520 it's high people in Russia and I and you will 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:18.760 not hear there's some other other people in this country 0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:21.200 generally because we're all, oh, Putin is the worst. Yeah, 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:28.480 Putin's a bad guy. He's essentially KGB slash Russian mafia 0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:31.200 running the country. So if we had somebody who was 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:33.960 ex intel, if I were, this is kind of cool. 0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:36.640 Actually sounds like a good good book. If I were 0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:40.320 to have joined some organized crime family and ran it 0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:42.520 and then I became the president of the United States, 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:45.080 that would be something like and see's total control. That's 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:47.879 that's effectively what's going on in Russia. But Putin has 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:51.040 also presided over what the Russian people believe is a 0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:56.080 restoration of Russian international dignity after I mean, it was 0:21:56.920 --> 0:21:59.320 very sad for them for a long time to be 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:02.840 after the fall of the Wall, completely impoverished and felt 0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:06.320 like they're everything. You know, their world was in free fall. 0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:10.040 There was a lack of a feeling of dignity among 0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:13.040 the Russian people in the nineteen nineties when okay, now 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:15.560 they've got freedom, but they don't have and they don't 0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:17.760 have an economy to speak of. Putin has presided over 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:20.199 the creation of a Russian middle class. Again. See now 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:22.800 people say, oh, Buggy are doing what Bernie does about 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:26.639 about Cuba. No, Putin is not nearly as bad as 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:30.440 Castro and the Castro regime. And you know, Raoul Castro 0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:33.760 has done things. I mean, the Castros are responsible for 0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:37.359 the kind of war crimes, as I said, where we 0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:40.760 should if we could round them up and have them executed, 0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:44.760 and that would be fair, that would be just. Now 0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:46.760 you might say Putin probably should spend a lot of 0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:50.240 time in prison. He's definitely had journalists executed. You know, 0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:54.040 he's bad, but he's not He's not as bad but 0:22:54.160 --> 0:22:57.200 Bernie Sanders. Because the Democratic Party right now has gotten 0:22:57.280 --> 0:23:01.000 so you know, utterly and completely wrapped up in this 0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:06.760 Russia collusion. It's they believe this no matter what the evidence, 0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:09.560 no matter what we can provide them with. Putin is 0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:12.080 really really bad and a scary man. But you know, 0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:15.040 he'll say nice things about Cuba, which is which is 0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:16.840 all I'm trying to say, is that the Cuban regime 0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:20.480 is worse than Putin's government. If you look at the 0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:22.480 totality of what has gone on, right I think the 0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:25.920 Cuban regime is in a different category. Putin is bad. 0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:29.239 But people don't want to hear about what's really going 0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:31.000 on in Russia. They just prefer to think of it 0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:34.760 as the biggest threat to the United States. Because Hillary 0:23:34.840 --> 0:23:38.880 Clinton lost the twenty sixteen election, China is a much 0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:42.920 bigger threat to America as we know. But Bernie Sanders, 0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:49.639 I sit here and I wonder what has befallen this 0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:51.680 country and how we could have reached a point where 0:23:52.440 --> 0:23:57.080 Bernie Sanders is even a serious consideration for any higher office. 0:23:57.520 --> 0:23:59.760 I mean, I think Vermont should be a little bit embarrassed, 0:23:59.800 --> 0:24:03.080 quite honestly, that this has been the senator that they've 0:24:03.119 --> 0:24:04.800 had for so many years, and he was their only 0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:09.680 congressman for a number of years before that. Bernie, of course, 0:24:09.800 --> 0:24:14.600 has the usual Marxist claptrap about bringing working people back 0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:18.560 into the Democratic Party. Play clip six producer mark my 0:24:18.720 --> 0:24:22.720 favorability naturally, I believe on the highest up here is 0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:26.280 a matter of fact, all right. But the point is, 0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:29.040 the point is the way we are gonna be Trump, 0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:32.440 which is what everybody Appia wants, is we need a 0:24:32.640 --> 0:24:36.520 campaign of energy and excitement. We need to have the 0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:39.480 largest vote to turn out in the history of the 0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:43.280 United States. We need to bring working people back into 0:24:43.359 --> 0:24:46.520 the Democratic Party. We need to get young people voting 0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:49.080 in a way they have never done before. That is 0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:55.760 what our campaign is about. He's a Marxist, He's mobilizing 0:24:55.840 --> 0:25:00.280 the youth who don't understand very much about politics. Let's 0:25:00.280 --> 0:25:02.760 be honest and claiming that he's going to do so 0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:06.320 much to help workers. You know who workers work for. Corporations, 0:25:07.119 --> 0:25:09.879 people who have enough assets on their own to have 0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:12.920 businesses where they hire people, and yes, even people in 0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:15.280 this country who are billionaires. That is who workers work for. 0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:18.680 Do we really think that they will be better off 0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:23.120 with Bernie Sanders determining that all of their bosses are 0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:26.000 bad people who don't know what they're doing. There's a 0:25:26.119 --> 0:25:29.879 very clear choice that has emerged for Democrats between Sanders 0:25:30.320 --> 0:25:33.680 and Bloomberg. This is the the far left of the 0:25:33.800 --> 0:25:41.119 party versus the more technocratic, such as it is, democrat, elitist, 0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:44.639 limousine liberal wing of the party. And I think you 0:25:44.720 --> 0:25:48.000 gotta figure right now, Bernie Sanders side of this is 0:25:48.040 --> 0:25:51.480 going to be the one that ends up victorious. In fact, 0:25:51.520 --> 0:25:55.000 Bloomberg thought that by entering into this contest, he may 0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:59.080 prevent he may actually stop Bernie Sanders from becoming the 0:25:59.200 --> 0:26:01.040 nominee when you look at the numbers in some of 0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:03.200 these states, because he's taking a lot of what you'd 0:26:03.240 --> 0:26:05.440 have to assume or Biden votes. I think that's what 0:26:05.560 --> 0:26:09.640 Bloomberg is really peeling off. He may be the reason 0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:14.520 that Bernie Sanders marches to the nomination, and that should 0:26:14.560 --> 0:26:18.280 be something that concerns all of us. I said to 0:26:18.320 --> 0:26:20.720 you yesterday, and I think some people were a little surprised, 0:26:20.720 --> 0:26:24.480 and I shared this publicly on Twitter as well. Bernie 0:26:24.520 --> 0:26:27.120 Sanders is not even a smart socialist. I really stand 0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:30.560 behind that. I don't think Bernie Sanders is a smart socialist. 0:26:30.800 --> 0:26:33.640 There are people who I know who are of the left, 0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:37.480 who are learned, They've read a lot, They're very smart. 0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:43.639 They can make sophisticated arguments about socialism. They're wrong, but 0:26:43.760 --> 0:26:48.080 they can make sophisticated arguments and they can anticipate where 0:26:48.119 --> 0:26:49.600 the other side is going. There's not a lot of 0:26:49.640 --> 0:26:54.280 them because the primary motivation behind the primary among the 0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:58.280 primary motivations I should say, behind Marxism and socialist thought, 0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:01.560 it's the replacement of God of God with the state. 0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:05.879 It's also giving people a reason and it gives them 0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:10.119 a sense of empowerment. It gives them an argument for 0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:12.760 why they're on the side of good. So it really 0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:16.520 is it's a pseudoscience. Marxism is pseudoscience. They always pretend 0:27:16.560 --> 0:27:18.480 that there's that they can just look at this on 0:27:18.560 --> 0:27:20.760 a board and add up how, you know, the arc 0:27:20.840 --> 0:27:26.480 of history and the transition from capitalism into socialism and 0:27:26.800 --> 0:27:29.560 the revolution of the proletariat and I mean all this, 0:27:29.680 --> 0:27:32.680 you know, dictatorship of the proletariat and a revolution that 0:27:32.720 --> 0:27:35.280 would bring it about. They think that they can look 0:27:35.280 --> 0:27:36.720 at this on a board and bring it all about. 0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:39.719 But that's nonsense, right, It's pseudoscience. It always has been, 0:27:40.560 --> 0:27:43.000 and it really is a religious replacement before it is 0:27:43.480 --> 0:27:47.119 an economic replacement. The economic arguments are just a means 0:27:47.400 --> 0:27:53.000 of mobilizing people in support of this secular religion, if 0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:57.160 you will. That's what Marxism really is all about. Which 0:27:57.240 --> 0:27:59.159 when you start to line this up with Bernie Sanders, 0:27:59.200 --> 0:28:02.719 doesn't it all makes sense now? You know the social 0:28:02.840 --> 0:28:05.480 justice component of everything that he says. You know, it's 0:28:05.520 --> 0:28:08.600 not fair that some people have more than others. That 0:28:08.840 --> 0:28:12.840 is a fundamental central thought for Bernie Sanders and for 0:28:12.960 --> 0:28:15.160 Marxists for as long as this has been a theory. 0:28:15.240 --> 0:28:17.560 It's just not fair. And if we have to pull 0:28:17.680 --> 0:28:20.119 down people who have more so that people who have 0:28:20.320 --> 0:28:24.600 less feel better, and we'll call that justice. We're willing 0:28:24.640 --> 0:28:26.359 to do that, but to do that, you always have 0:28:26.400 --> 0:28:29.240 to use a very heavy hand of government. You have 0:28:29.400 --> 0:28:32.959 to empower the state well beyond what the founders had 0:28:33.000 --> 0:28:36.320 in mind in this country. And that's why Bernie Sanders 0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:41.080 is in fact fundamentally Unamerican in his beliefs. Is this 0:28:41.200 --> 0:28:44.040 is the big problem that the Democrats face. This is 0:28:44.080 --> 0:28:46.640 why putting a socialist forward as your primary candidate's going 0:28:46.720 --> 0:28:49.520 to be an issue that I think will continue to 0:28:49.600 --> 0:28:54.520 come back and haunt them long afterwards. Bernie Sanders, of 0:28:54.560 --> 0:28:56.840 course claims that he is not radical. Play a play 0:28:57.040 --> 0:29:01.280 nineteen producer mark misconception, and you're hearing it here tonight. 0:29:01.640 --> 0:29:04.680 This is the ideas I'm talking about a radical. They're 0:29:04.760 --> 0:29:09.160 not in one form or another. They exist in countries 0:29:09.320 --> 0:29:12.760 all over the world. Healthcare is a human right. We 0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:17.200 have the necessity, the moral imperative to address the existential 0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:20.240 threat of climate change. Of the countries are doing that. 0:29:20.920 --> 0:29:24.920 We don't need more people in jail. This proportionally African 0:29:24.960 --> 0:29:29.080 American than any other country on Earth. Not a radical idea. 0:29:30.600 --> 0:29:34.440 All countries are different, Bernie. They have different histories, different 0:29:35.040 --> 0:29:39.240 rule of law, different individual freedom. I mean, what is 0:29:39.240 --> 0:29:42.480 he even saying? This sounds good? This sounds good because 0:29:42.520 --> 0:29:44.720 he's a demagogue. I mean, he's a guy who spread 0:29:44.760 --> 0:29:47.480 his whole life just repeating the stuff. Any of this 0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:50.600 is people in college they read some Gnam Chomsky and 0:29:50.640 --> 0:29:52.800 America is not so great. It's actually pretty terrible. And 0:29:52.800 --> 0:29:54.640 look at all these other great countries. Forget about the 0:29:54.680 --> 0:29:56.880 bad stuff that they've done. I mean, this is really 0:29:57.000 --> 0:30:01.520 just a moral relativism that the people that adopt this 0:30:01.680 --> 0:30:06.200 think elevates them. And I've always said this that conservatives 0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:09.440 just patriots. We could say that patriots take a tremendous 0:30:09.480 --> 0:30:12.440 pride in being American. The left in this country has 0:30:12.440 --> 0:30:15.080 always taken pride in thinking that they're better than America, 0:30:16.280 --> 0:30:18.200 and that informs a lot of their thinking, a lot 0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:21.920 of the approaches that they take on policy issues, particularly 0:30:21.960 --> 0:30:27.000 on foreign policy, but on policy issues more broadly. His 0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:30.400 ideas aren't radical, then why has the Democratic Party adamantly 0:30:30.480 --> 0:30:34.440 refused to adopt them for the last oh, I don't know, 0:30:35.560 --> 0:30:38.120 fifty years or so, let's just say whenever it has 0:30:38.160 --> 0:30:40.400 come up, and it's been coming up longer than that. 0:30:40.880 --> 0:30:44.400 You know, there was an American Communist Party USA CPUSA 0:30:44.560 --> 0:30:46.640 was a real thing. There were socialists in this country, 0:30:46.680 --> 0:30:50.080 stretching back to the rise of socialism in Europe, right, 0:30:50.160 --> 0:30:52.600 And there's a whole history that don't teach in school. 0:30:52.680 --> 0:30:55.640 People don't learn about this. They don't understand that there 0:30:55.680 --> 0:30:59.760 were not just communist infiltrations during the Soviet era of 0:30:59.880 --> 0:31:01.920 the United States and of the United States government, but 0:31:02.040 --> 0:31:06.480 there were journalists and academics and even politicians in America 0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:10.520 who were well known who were open socialists and felt 0:31:10.520 --> 0:31:13.240 a tremendous kinship to the great socialist power that was 0:31:13.320 --> 0:31:16.720 the Soviet Union. But that was a real fight. I mean, 0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:20.440 we have been having this debate stretching back to really 0:31:20.480 --> 0:31:24.920 the fall of monarchies in Europe and the fall of 0:31:24.960 --> 0:31:27.680 the old and the Ncien regime, if you will, the 0:31:27.800 --> 0:31:30.840 old order of things. After the First World War, you 0:31:30.960 --> 0:31:34.800 had the Soviet Revolution nineteen seventeen October Revolution. All of 0:31:34.840 --> 0:31:39.160 a sudden, the Soviet Union adopts and there's a very 0:31:39.240 --> 0:31:41.960 complicated series of processes that led to this. But the 0:31:42.080 --> 0:31:45.920 Soviet Union becomes the primary socialist power in the world. 0:31:46.040 --> 0:31:51.480 Remember the United Soviet Socialist Republics right USSR. People always 0:31:51.480 --> 0:31:54.760 seemed to forget about this socialism. Then we throw the 0:31:54.840 --> 0:31:57.400 communism label around with the Soviets. The Soviets thought of 0:31:57.480 --> 0:32:03.080 themselves as socialists, and communism is just a flavor, it's 0:32:03.120 --> 0:32:05.480 just a branch of socialism. It has to do with 0:32:05.560 --> 0:32:10.280 the implementation of it, the ideas, the values. You know, Lenin, 0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:15.480 I've told you the original, the very first Soviets in 0:32:15.560 --> 0:32:20.840 the in the form of Lenin and Stalin. Joseph Jugashvili 0:32:22.400 --> 0:32:24.640 called himself Coba in the early days, which I always 0:32:24.640 --> 0:32:26.800 thought was interesting, and if you've watched Planet of the Apes, 0:32:26.920 --> 0:32:30.000 that's why the main bad guy Ape in Planet of 0:32:30.040 --> 0:32:32.880 the Apes Coba. It's a homage I think to Stalin 0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:36.400 and the rise of authoritarianism. And then referred to himself 0:32:36.760 --> 0:32:39.680 in a letter as Stalin men of steel in Russian. 0:32:40.800 --> 0:32:44.800 But they thought of themselves as social democrats. That's what 0:32:44.880 --> 0:32:48.120 they called themselves. So you'll see that they keep changing 0:32:48.840 --> 0:32:53.400 the terms they keep but ultimately that that foundation of 0:32:53.560 --> 0:32:57.560 pseudoscience rooted in envy. I mean that is that is 0:32:57.680 --> 0:33:01.680 that the way that Marxism is built. Bernie Sanders believes 0:33:01.720 --> 0:33:05.320 in that. Bernie Sanders is somebody who has always believed 0:33:05.360 --> 0:33:08.480 in that, and he is appealing to a very dark 0:33:08.560 --> 0:33:11.960 part of human nature. That instead of trying to allow 0:33:12.040 --> 0:33:15.240 people to elevate themselves and encourage everyone to elevate themselves 0:33:15.600 --> 0:33:17.720 and put in place the best possible system to do that, 0:33:18.040 --> 0:33:20.720 Bernie Sanders wants to go around like that game that 0:33:20.800 --> 0:33:22.480 we've all played with the mallet, where you hit the 0:33:22.520 --> 0:33:25.320 gophers on the head. You know, too much money. Billionaire 0:33:25.400 --> 0:33:28.280 Boom hit him with the mallet. Too much money. Millionaire 0:33:28.320 --> 0:33:30.160 Boom hit him with the mallet. That's the guy who 0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:31.520 wants to be the next leader of the free world. 0:33:31.520 --> 0:33:36.320 I think that's a bad idea. You're in the freedom hunt. 0:33:36.760 --> 0:33:43.400 This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. But it's easier 0:33:43.440 --> 0:33:46.840 to make when that Democratic candidate embraces the title of 0:33:46.960 --> 0:33:49.400 socialists and doesn't refute it. And the truth of the 0:33:49.440 --> 0:33:52.120 matter is Bernie Sanders is not a socialist. I mean, 0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:54.600 if you look at up in the dictionary, he's not 0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:59.560 calling for, you know, the society own the means of 0:33:59.600 --> 0:34:02.920 production and all of that stuff. Ah, here we go. 0:34:04.040 --> 0:34:06.080 What have I've been telling you? David Axeot over at 0:34:06.120 --> 0:34:08.080 CNN doing what we knew they would do. I mean, 0:34:08.160 --> 0:34:10.640 he's not really a social it's not really socialism. He 0:34:10.760 --> 0:34:14.160 calls himself on a socialist. This reminds me of Democrats 0:34:14.200 --> 0:34:16.560 with the Islamic state. It's not Islamic and it's not 0:34:16.680 --> 0:34:20.719 a state. I don't think they get to determine that 0:34:21.320 --> 0:34:24.960 on behalf of isis everyone obambi he's doing sist in 0:34:25.040 --> 0:34:27.600 calling it an isol It was just pedantry. It was ridiculous. 0:34:27.640 --> 0:34:32.479 It was a pedantic, nonsense move. This is socialism, folks. 0:34:32.520 --> 0:34:34.920 Bernie Sanders is a socialist. You don't get to say 0:34:35.040 --> 0:34:37.520 we want Denmark style socialism and then say, oh, but 0:34:37.600 --> 0:34:40.360 we're not really socialists. They just keep changing the definition. 0:34:40.920 --> 0:34:42.880 In fact, we already have a fair amount of socialism 0:34:42.920 --> 0:34:46.360 in America. That's part of the problem. The public school 0:34:46.400 --> 0:34:50.960 system is in fact a form of socialism. Medicare is 0:34:50.960 --> 0:34:53.239 a form of socialism. And you start looking a lot 0:34:53.320 --> 0:34:57.120 of these programs, folks, they are socialized components of the 0:34:57.239 --> 0:35:00.680 US economy. And I just have to though. They're gonna 0:35:00.680 --> 0:35:03.520 try everything, including a guy who gets up every day 0:35:03.600 --> 0:35:07.080 and screams in microphones, Oh, I'm a democratic socialist. You're 0:35:07.120 --> 0:35:09.960 gonna have the media apparatus be like, I mean, he's 0:35:10.000 --> 0:35:12.400 not really a socialist though, I mean, you know what 0:35:12.600 --> 0:35:14.919 I mean. He's gonna say all that stuff, But he's 0:35:15.000 --> 0:35:18.759 not really a socialist. Oh no, he is. He is 0:35:18.840 --> 0:35:22.160 most certainly a socialist. So let's all just put that 0:35:22.280 --> 0:35:24.040 in our pipe and smoke it as we determined who 0:35:24.040 --> 0:35:26.800 we're going to vote for this election. Thanks for listening 0:35:26.880 --> 0:35:30.239 to the Bus Sesson Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on 0:35:30.320 --> 0:35:33.680 Apple podcast, the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get 0:35:33.760 --> 0:35:37.399 your podcasts. It was thirtie and it was seventeen. That's 0:35:37.400 --> 0:35:40.600 an incredible shrinking price. Tech at some point has said 0:35:40.680 --> 0:35:43.439 is it is unknowable to even see what the price 0:35:43.520 --> 0:35:45.160 tech would be. Now they're a new numbers card. I'll 0:35:45.160 --> 0:35:47.360 tell you exactly what it adds up to. It adds 0:35:47.440 --> 0:35:50.360 up to four more years of Donald Trump. Kevin McCarthy 0:35:50.400 --> 0:35:52.480 is a Speaker of the House and the inability to 0:35:52.600 --> 0:35:55.200 get the Senate into Democratic hands. The time has come 0:35:55.280 --> 0:35:57.920 for us to stop acting like the presidency is the 0:35:58.000 --> 0:36:00.640 only office that matters. Not only is this a way 0:36:00.680 --> 0:36:03.600 to get Donald Trump reelected, you got a House to Worria, 0:36:04.160 --> 0:36:06.279 you got a Senate to Warrior, and this is this 0:36:06.440 --> 0:36:09.680 is really important. Look, if you want to keep the 0:36:09.760 --> 0:36:12.400 House in Democratic handcer, you might want to check with 0:36:12.560 --> 0:36:16.799 the people who actually turned the House Blue forty Democrats 0:36:17.200 --> 0:36:20.240 who are not running on your platform. They are running 0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:23.319 away from your platform as fast as they possibly can. 0:36:24.080 --> 0:36:28.120 Mayor Pete scoring a big hit there last night. Now, 0:36:28.200 --> 0:36:30.160 Mayor Pete's not going to be president. I don't even 0:36:30.160 --> 0:36:32.759 think he's really a serious vice presidential candidate, but he 0:36:32.840 --> 0:36:34.840 is now going to be. He's a Democrat figure that 0:36:34.920 --> 0:36:38.400 you will see and hear more of in the years, 0:36:38.560 --> 0:36:42.320 probably in the decades ahead. His point about Bernie Sanders 0:36:42.360 --> 0:36:44.240 in the damage that will be done to down ballot 0:36:44.280 --> 0:36:48.680 candidates is a serious one. That's a that's a real consideration. 0:36:48.880 --> 0:36:52.200 Democrats would be wise to pay some attention to what 0:36:52.440 --> 0:36:54.560 he is saying here, but I don't think that they 0:36:54.680 --> 0:36:59.960 really will. Mayor Pete also he thinks that every time 0:37:00.040 --> 0:37:03.040 I'm he has an opportunity to speak, it has to 0:37:03.120 --> 0:37:06.520 be a speech, and he's wrong about that. You can 0:37:06.600 --> 0:37:09.520 just speak like a normal person, doesn't have to always 0:37:09.600 --> 0:37:14.320 be well when we bring together the country and unite 0:37:14.400 --> 0:37:17.239 in the glory of a wonderful future of hope and 0:37:17.760 --> 0:37:21.000 thinking about how we can do that uniting and hope 0:37:21.080 --> 0:37:24.120 and things, and you just be like, no, man, I 0:37:24.920 --> 0:37:26.320 didn't like the movie, you know, what I mean, you 0:37:26.360 --> 0:37:28.600 can just you can just respond like a normal person. 0:37:29.040 --> 0:37:30.440 It is one of the things that we take for 0:37:30.560 --> 0:37:35.200 granted about Trump that he has broken down the old 0:37:35.600 --> 0:37:39.120 established format of you have to speak to people when 0:37:39.120 --> 0:37:42.080 you're a politician like you're some weird political robot who's 0:37:42.120 --> 0:37:44.640 not a normal person. You have to use these canned 0:37:44.760 --> 0:37:48.320 phrases and everything has to be bringing it back to, 0:37:48.920 --> 0:37:52.439 you know, your key talking point. Now you can also 0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:54.600 just be like, yeah, you know, I like cheeseburgers. You 0:37:54.680 --> 0:37:56.560 can do that as a politician. You're allowed to do 0:37:56.680 --> 0:37:58.200 that now. Or you can say, yeah, that guy in 0:37:58.280 --> 0:37:59.920 the back who works for seeing An he's a jerk. 0:38:00.680 --> 0:38:02.520 You're allowed to do that. You're allowed to speak the 0:38:02.640 --> 0:38:06.040 way that people speak, which I think is a great innovation. 0:38:06.440 --> 0:38:07.880 You know, the president when he does as stated he 0:38:08.080 --> 0:38:11.560 address me, there are times when the presentation should have 0:38:11.600 --> 0:38:15.080 a little more pomp and circumstance around it. But as 0:38:15.120 --> 0:38:20.160 a general matter, I prefer having a president who is 0:38:20.200 --> 0:38:21.800 just going to talk the way that people talk. And 0:38:21.920 --> 0:38:28.399 that's a new that's a new thing to be sure. Now, 0:38:29.080 --> 0:38:34.480 oh wait, before before I well, there's the other Democrats 0:38:34.560 --> 0:38:36.960 out there, including from the Obama administration that I think 0:38:36.960 --> 0:38:41.440 are watching this and recognizing what's going to happen. Bernie 0:38:41.520 --> 0:38:45.160 Sanders is a huge risk, to be sure, for the 0:38:45.239 --> 0:38:48.720 Democrat Party because if if Biden runs against Trump and loses, 0:38:50.040 --> 0:38:54.480 you will have essentially the Democrat Party making the same 0:38:54.600 --> 0:38:57.719 arguments in the next election. And you know, just they 0:38:57.760 --> 0:39:00.680 hate Trump, Russia, Trump's corrupt, all the same stuff. If 0:39:00.760 --> 0:39:03.200 Bernie Sanders loses, they're going to have no one to 0:39:03.239 --> 0:39:05.560 blame but themselves for running a crazy candidate on a 0:39:05.640 --> 0:39:11.640 crazy platform. So there's additional risk for running Bernie versus 0:39:11.719 --> 0:39:15.880 anyone else against Trump. Even Elizabeth Warren Causa Lush her 0:39:15.920 --> 0:39:20.239 birth warrens Or as much as she was ready to go, 0:39:20.560 --> 0:39:23.400 she was on the war path against Bloomberg and the 0:39:23.520 --> 0:39:28.239 last debate, and this time she wanted to tell she 0:39:28.480 --> 0:39:31.840 thinks she's folksy and relatable. The reality of Elizabeth Warren 0:39:32.040 --> 0:39:35.080 is that she is sanctimonious and condescending to all normal 0:39:35.120 --> 0:39:38.880 Americans who understand that, which is why she does so 0:39:39.000 --> 0:39:41.800 well with the media but does not do well outside 0:39:41.840 --> 0:39:46.160 of the bluest blue coastal corridors, because when she does 0:39:46.239 --> 0:39:48.840 the whole you know, my daddy was my daddy was 0:39:48.920 --> 0:39:50.480 a coal miner, or it wasn't a coal mine or 0:39:50.480 --> 0:39:52.200 whatever it was. My my daddy was a male. Now 0:39:52.280 --> 0:39:54.959 that's well, she always talks about her daddy. I forget 0:39:55.000 --> 0:39:57.000 what it was like, a truck driver or something, you know, 0:39:57.040 --> 0:39:59.560 a normal person job, you know, a respectable job. But 0:40:00.000 --> 0:40:03.640 she tells this story because it was Kasick. Who everything was? 0:40:03.719 --> 0:40:05.680 You know, you know my dad was a mailman. Okay, 0:40:05.719 --> 0:40:08.480 we get it. We've heard it a million times. Who 0:40:09.480 --> 0:40:17.680 kai among the most surly and uncharismatic politicians I've ever 0:40:18.680 --> 0:40:20.800 had the misfortune of interviewing. I will tell you I 0:40:20.960 --> 0:40:23.279 was not not a Kasick person at all, never was, 0:40:23.400 --> 0:40:26.480 never will be. But holiciap with Warren. She tells the 0:40:26.600 --> 0:40:31.160 story of bringing herself up in Ohio. I'm my ma 0:40:31.320 --> 0:40:34.600 Cherokee heritage and in the Midwest. And let me keep 0:40:34.640 --> 0:40:37.000 in mind, she ran to the Democrat power structure as 0:40:37.040 --> 0:40:39.480 fast as she could, lied about who she was to 0:40:39.560 --> 0:40:41.000 get in there, and lied about who she was to 0:40:41.040 --> 0:40:43.120 get at the University of Pennsylvania and Ivy League school 0:40:43.120 --> 0:40:45.040 and then get into Harvard I mean teach at Harvard Law. 0:40:46.040 --> 0:40:49.160 Now she's worth like seven to ten million dollars she's Oh, 0:40:49.320 --> 0:40:53.240 but I'm just I'm just like you. It's a total fraud. 0:40:53.600 --> 0:40:58.120 It's total phony. Pretends to care so much about Main 0:40:58.239 --> 0:41:04.520 Street and the big Wall Street banks. She's really she 0:41:04.640 --> 0:41:09.680 didn't have anything particularly worthwhile to say last night. I 0:41:09.800 --> 0:41:12.320 think she had a bad as the debate when she 0:41:12.400 --> 0:41:17.680 had a bad night. M but oh Pete boodha judge, 0:41:17.680 --> 0:41:19.399 I want to get back to him for a second. See, 0:41:19.440 --> 0:41:21.600 we were trying to break this down for you. He 0:41:22.160 --> 0:41:25.279 had another look. He is a guy who sounds like 0:41:25.360 --> 0:41:27.800 he's always in the midst of his McKinsey consulting interview, 0:41:29.040 --> 0:41:30.319 and he did it. There was a moment last night 0:41:30.360 --> 0:41:32.480 where they asked for the greatest misconception about you, and 0:41:32.520 --> 0:41:34.600 it was like Mayor Pete's version was you know that 0:41:34.719 --> 0:41:38.239 I'm too unflappable. That's like when someone asks you at 0:41:38.239 --> 0:41:39.920 a job interview, priest of Mark, you ever done this? 0:41:40.160 --> 0:41:42.320 So I'm never asked you. But first was a stupid question. 0:41:42.440 --> 0:41:44.800 So the people who ask this in job interview somebody 0:41:44.840 --> 0:41:47.239 should you know, smack him upside the head. But people 0:41:47.320 --> 0:41:49.480 still do. Have you ever had the what's your biggest weakness? 0:41:49.520 --> 0:41:51.920 In a job interview question? You ask me that No, 0:41:52.080 --> 0:41:53.759 I didn't. I know he didn't know I was about 0:41:53.800 --> 0:41:56.600 I was about to flip this table and lose my mind. 0:41:56.640 --> 0:41:58.960 I would never ask that question. I've gotten that question. Yeah, 0:41:59.120 --> 0:42:01.320 did you remember what you said? Don't? It's the dumbest 0:42:01.360 --> 0:42:03.440 question in the world, because it's sort of like being 0:42:03.480 --> 0:42:05.760 on a first date, which you know, there's similarities between 0:42:05.800 --> 0:42:07.520 a first date and a job interview in terms of 0:42:07.600 --> 0:42:09.920 your pre you're presenting, you're being judged. Feel like on 0:42:10.000 --> 0:42:11.719 a first date if a girl was just like, you know, 0:42:12.040 --> 0:42:15.800 what's the worst thing about you answer that question? You 0:42:15.880 --> 0:42:21.280 gotta find that out, o games. I'm trying to hide that, yeah, exactly, 0:42:21.320 --> 0:42:23.240 and you'll figure it out on your own, there, sweetness, 0:42:23.320 --> 0:42:25.200 you know like it doesn't it doesn't need to be 0:42:25.360 --> 0:42:29.000 told upfront. But because I've got I'll love the the 0:42:29.200 --> 0:42:32.080 usual way people do this, as they say, Um, I 0:42:32.239 --> 0:42:35.640 take too much work on I share the credit too fast, 0:42:35.840 --> 0:42:38.640 like work too hard? These humble brags. I'm sure, Yeah, 0:42:38.719 --> 0:42:41.120 Mayor I worked too hard. I make other people look 0:42:41.160 --> 0:42:42.759 back because I work too hard, and then I feel 0:42:42.800 --> 0:42:46.200 guilty about it. Mayor, Pete, are those I'm too unflappable? 0:42:46.239 --> 0:42:49.600 I'm I'm too cool under pressure, you know. But he 0:42:49.840 --> 0:42:51.440 was right about one thing, which is that if you're 0:42:51.440 --> 0:42:54.040 talking about what Russia is trying to accomplish in this election, 0:42:54.880 --> 0:42:57.520 sewing chaos is definitely very high on the list. Play 0:42:57.680 --> 0:43:00.719 play twenty one please, I'll tell you what the Russians want. 0:43:00.840 --> 0:43:04.200 They don't have a political party. They want chaos, and 0:43:04.560 --> 0:43:07.000 chaos is what is coming our way. I mean, look, 0:43:07.440 --> 0:43:14.960 if you think the last four years has been chaotic, divisive, toxic, exhausting, 0:43:15.360 --> 0:43:18.800 imagine spending the better part of twenty twenty with Bernie 0:43:18.880 --> 0:43:23.080 Sanders versus Donald Trump. Think about what that will be 0:43:23.200 --> 0:43:29.399 like for this country. And meanwhile, folks at home, from 0:43:29.440 --> 0:43:31.879 South Carolina to South Bend are trying to figure out 0:43:31.920 --> 0:43:35.359 what any of this means for us. Because it's right 0:43:35.560 --> 0:43:38.759 that there is a progressive majority, an American majority that 0:43:38.920 --> 0:43:41.920 wants to see real change, wants to see wages go 0:43:42.120 --> 0:43:44.719 up and go up faster than the cost of health 0:43:44.840 --> 0:43:48.440 and saving for retirement. But also here's a majority of 0:43:48.440 --> 0:43:50.919 the American people who I think right now just want 0:43:50.920 --> 0:43:53.200 to be able to turn on the TV, see their 0:43:53.239 --> 0:43:56.200 president and actually feel their blood pressure go down a 0:43:56.239 --> 0:43:58.960 little bit instead of up. Through the roof Mayor Pete's like, 0:43:59.040 --> 0:44:03.600 I'm super chill vote for me. It's a long way 0:44:03.640 --> 0:44:06.759 to go. There is an underlying truth here, and that 0:44:07.000 --> 0:44:11.160 is if the Democrats weren't so ideologically driven and so 0:44:11.560 --> 0:44:15.160 emotionally invested against Trump, the clear lane that they have 0:44:16.000 --> 0:44:19.160 would be to do ah what would essentially be a 0:44:19.239 --> 0:44:23.160 Bill Clinton style triangulation here and say we want to 0:44:23.280 --> 0:44:25.759 we want to do the things that Trump is, the 0:44:25.920 --> 0:44:27.520 things that are going well in the economy. We're going 0:44:27.560 --> 0:44:30.040 to continue. We're gonna bring the country together. We're gonna 0:44:30.080 --> 0:44:32.479 work together. We're gonna reach across the aisle. We're gonna 0:44:32.480 --> 0:44:34.640 come up with solutions. We're gonna heal the divide in 0:44:34.680 --> 0:44:37.680 this nation. What was How did Obama forget about how 0:44:37.719 --> 0:44:39.439 Obama governed? I know a lot of you talking about 0:44:39.480 --> 0:44:43.080 blood pressure rising, forget about how Obama governed. Remember how 0:44:43.160 --> 0:44:47.600 Obama ran for office. You know the slogan hope and change, 0:44:47.640 --> 0:44:50.560 and it was all bringing us together. And you knows 0:44:50.600 --> 0:44:53.000 I'm gonna merge together. We're gonna love draw, We're gonna 0:44:53.000 --> 0:44:55.000 be amazing, We're gonna be fand testing, We're all gonna 0:44:55.000 --> 0:44:58.800 whole house or we're gonna be friends, and that was 0:44:59.000 --> 0:45:03.160 the way that he managed to crush two Republican presidential opponents. 0:45:04.280 --> 0:45:06.400 Now he got very lucky with the financial downturn and 0:45:06.440 --> 0:45:11.520 all the rest of it. But the messianic uniter role. 0:45:12.400 --> 0:45:16.080 If the Democrats had someone who was charismatic, that would 0:45:16.120 --> 0:45:19.880 be the real lane. They really only have two options. 0:45:19.920 --> 0:45:24.680 You only have two options against Trump scorched earth, socialist lunacy, 0:45:25.600 --> 0:45:29.360 Bernie Sanders, what are you talking about. It's not just 0:45:29.560 --> 0:45:33.480 you know, lighten a few forest fires. Or the other 0:45:33.560 --> 0:45:37.520 alternative would be to bring someone forward who is charismatic 0:45:37.640 --> 0:45:41.040 and poses as a uniter while trying to get us 0:45:41.160 --> 0:45:46.080 to that socialist future. Right, the head fake Democrats so 0:45:46.360 --> 0:45:49.680 effectively stretching back for as long as I've been able 0:45:49.719 --> 0:45:52.719 to pay attention to the news, pretend to be one 0:45:52.760 --> 0:45:54.879 thing to get votes, and then govern a different way 0:45:55.000 --> 0:45:58.839 when they're in power, and that option, if they were 0:45:58.880 --> 0:46:01.080 really looking to be able to fee Trump, I think 0:46:01.160 --> 0:46:04.200 that would be the much more realistic path, much better 0:46:04.360 --> 0:46:07.759 path for them. Essentially, put someone forward who's a good salesperson, 0:46:07.800 --> 0:46:13.080 who's charismatic, and who lies about what Democrats want. That's 0:46:13.120 --> 0:46:15.319 what Biden was supposed to be for them. But he's 0:46:15.320 --> 0:46:18.759 not good enough at it. That's what Bloomberg they're hoping now. Well, no, 0:46:18.840 --> 0:46:22.320 Bloomberg's just supposed to buy it. I mean he actually 0:46:22.360 --> 0:46:24.600 said last night when they're talking about congressional race, He's like, 0:46:24.719 --> 0:46:28.960 I bought that that should be Bloomberg's twenty twenty bumper sticker. 0:46:29.080 --> 0:46:32.440 I bought that. Whatever it is, doesn't matter. I bought that. 0:46:33.719 --> 0:46:36.759 And this is what you see the Democratic Party doing 0:46:36.840 --> 0:46:40.920 right now. They've had this choice between trying to put 0:46:41.040 --> 0:46:43.600 forward someone who will unite the party versus trying to 0:46:43.680 --> 0:46:46.399 have somebody who's just going to divide it, I'm sorry, 0:46:46.480 --> 0:46:48.840 unite the country versus somebody who's going to further exacerbate 0:46:48.920 --> 0:46:52.800 the division. And they've just gone. They've gone with the 0:46:52.960 --> 0:46:57.080 craziest left wing loon they can possibly find. And they 0:46:57.160 --> 0:47:00.440 wonder why. There are a lot of people who have 0:47:00.560 --> 0:47:03.279 been in politics for a long time who're watching this thing. 0:47:03.360 --> 0:47:07.520 Sank Democrats, stop being crazy. You're out of your minds. 0:47:08.880 --> 0:47:10.799 Who knows how this is really going to shake out, 0:47:10.880 --> 0:47:12.920 But it's gonna be. This is gonna be the best 0:47:13.000 --> 0:47:16.000 year ever to cover American politics. That is a promise 0:47:16.040 --> 0:47:17.680 that I can make to you and I'm excited about it. 0:47:20.120 --> 0:47:23.120 You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton 0:47:23.200 --> 0:47:30.479 Show podcast. Well, you're right. The economy is doing really 0:47:30.520 --> 0:47:33.360 great for people like mister Bloolberg and all the billionaires 0:47:35.000 --> 0:47:39.120 in the last three years, last three years, billionaires in 0:47:39.200 --> 0:47:42.280 this country sort an eight hundred and fifty billion dollars 0:47:42.360 --> 0:47:45.239 increase in their wealth. But you know what, to the 0:47:45.400 --> 0:47:48.600 ordinary American things are not so good. The question you 0:47:48.719 --> 0:47:51.319 might have thought was what does Bernie Sanders think about billionaires? 0:47:52.040 --> 0:47:54.000 You know what? The question was, what should well, what 0:47:54.080 --> 0:47:56.279 should you make of the really low unemployment rate under 0:47:56.280 --> 0:47:58.160 President Trump? And why should we think that you'd be 0:47:58.200 --> 0:48:00.839 better at this? Bernie Sanders, I've been saying, not even 0:48:00.880 --> 0:48:03.640 a good socialist. Let's bring in David Harsani. He's a 0:48:03.680 --> 0:48:05.719 friend of the show. He writes over a National Review. 0:48:05.760 --> 0:48:08.520 He's doing great stuff on National review dot com with 0:48:08.640 --> 0:48:12.200 regard to Bernie Sanders defensive authoritarian regimes and how crazy 0:48:12.239 --> 0:48:14.919 it is. David, what do you think of I wanted 0:48:14.920 --> 0:48:16.520 to just run with this premise for a second. I 0:48:16.560 --> 0:48:19.120 don't even think Bernie Sanders is a learned socialist. I 0:48:19.200 --> 0:48:21.719 think he's just like a street corner demagogue. On socialism. 0:48:23.200 --> 0:48:25.399 I don't know about that. I think he's just trying 0:48:25.480 --> 0:48:27.480 to find a way to talk about it without sounding 0:48:27.520 --> 0:48:30.000 like a crazy leftist that he is and that he's 0:48:30.040 --> 0:48:32.120 been forever. I mean, I don't know how learned he is, 0:48:32.800 --> 0:48:35.320 but I know that he's you know, he's ridiculous and 0:48:36.000 --> 0:48:39.600 lying about how lying about the last forty five years 0:48:39.640 --> 0:48:42.600 and how the last three years, and lies about everything 0:48:42.680 --> 0:48:45.200 about how Americans are doing better. I mean, by almost 0:48:45.200 --> 0:48:48.200 any standard, American life is better now. I mean, but 0:48:48.239 --> 0:48:49.839 if I and I know that we could never really 0:48:49.880 --> 0:48:51.480 find this out, of course he would say yes. I mean, 0:48:51.520 --> 0:48:55.200 do you think that Sanders has he read Marks Angles, 0:48:55.280 --> 0:48:57.640 has he read Bakhudin as he? I mean, do you 0:48:57.680 --> 0:49:00.239 think you think that he actually understands the philosophical roots 0:49:00.280 --> 0:49:02.520 of the ideology that he's now trying to foist upon America? 0:49:02.600 --> 0:49:05.799 Or does he just understand the slogans. I don't think 0:49:05.840 --> 0:49:07.640 he's a scholar or anything. But I'm pretty sure that 0:49:07.760 --> 0:49:10.000 probably when he was young, you probably picked up you know, 0:49:10.200 --> 0:49:13.200 maw or Marx or and read into it and dabbled. 0:49:13.239 --> 0:49:16.000 I mean, it's such nonsense in general that I don't 0:49:16.000 --> 0:49:18.279 think you can really be learned about it because it 0:49:18.360 --> 0:49:20.480 doesn't make sense and it's always sort of flexible, as 0:49:20.520 --> 0:49:22.480 you hear. But do you think he really believed? But 0:49:22.560 --> 0:49:24.120 you think he really believes it, I guess this is 0:49:24.120 --> 0:49:26.400 an even more important question. Is he a true believer? 0:49:27.080 --> 0:49:29.160 Oh my gosh, yes, I think so. I mean, listen, 0:49:29.280 --> 0:49:31.560 growing up, whether I did in New York, I knew 0:49:31.600 --> 0:49:33.360 people like him. I mean, no one took them seriously. 0:49:33.400 --> 0:49:35.960 It's like your raging commie uncle, you know what I mean, 0:49:36.480 --> 0:49:39.680 and you know your red diaper baby people like that. 0:49:39.960 --> 0:49:41.880 He is one of them. I recognize it. I mean, 0:49:41.960 --> 0:49:44.400 he you know, that's why he has nice things to 0:49:44.440 --> 0:49:47.720 say about the Vietcong or or Castro or or Tega. 0:49:47.840 --> 0:49:50.719 That's who he is. I really believe that. I mean, 0:49:50.840 --> 0:49:52.759 but you know, he's asked a question about low unemployment 0:49:52.760 --> 0:49:54.879 and he runs off on this rant about billionaires again, 0:49:55.080 --> 0:50:00.160 and this is farcical. Oh. I mean, basically he the 0:50:00.200 --> 0:50:02.360 inequality card, right, I mean, that's what he needs to 0:50:02.440 --> 0:50:05.000 rely on. He can't say the economy is actually the 0:50:05.080 --> 0:50:08.399 economy is terrible because it's nonsense. Most normal personal look 0:50:08.400 --> 0:50:11.040 outside and see that that's not true. Obviously, there are 0:50:11.040 --> 0:50:13.359 always some people who are suffering, but there aren't enough 0:50:13.400 --> 0:50:15.759 people suffering from TAC Like an actual, you know, full 0:50:15.800 --> 0:50:19.719 blown socialist, he has to rely on targeting millionaires. You know, 0:50:19.840 --> 0:50:22.719 he is about class. He cares about class differences, and 0:50:22.800 --> 0:50:24.160 that's what he's going to rely on. And no one 0:50:24.280 --> 0:50:26.920 likes a billionaire, right, So that's this talking point over 0:50:27.000 --> 0:50:28.440 and over again. I want to get into how we 0:50:28.560 --> 0:50:30.480 got here where a socialist looks like he's going to 0:50:30.520 --> 0:50:33.960 be the Democrat. I mean, in a sense, yeah, I 0:50:34.080 --> 0:50:35.680 like to poke fun of the Democrats for how I'm 0:50:35.680 --> 0:50:37.719 saying this is, but it's also an America problem, and 0:50:38.160 --> 0:50:40.040 I do want to keep that in mind that we've 0:50:40.080 --> 0:50:41.759 come to this point as a country where this is 0:50:41.760 --> 0:50:45.160 even being seriously considered. But first, I mean, just anything 0:50:45.239 --> 0:50:46.839 for you last night and the debate him. The big 0:50:46.880 --> 0:50:48.640 takeaway that most people had was that it was a 0:50:48.760 --> 0:50:51.279 terrible debate with bad questions, and we didn't learn anything new. 0:50:51.320 --> 0:50:53.279 At least that was what I saw. What you did 0:50:53.320 --> 0:50:54.800 you have anything that you thought, okay, well that was 0:50:54.840 --> 0:50:56.960 worthwhile or that's a reminder of something that at least 0:50:56.960 --> 0:51:01.480 we should see. No, I thought that to me, it 0:51:01.560 --> 0:51:04.839 was terrible. I think we learned anything. Maybe we learned 0:51:04.840 --> 0:51:07.160 that Sanders is actually not going to be great when 0:51:07.280 --> 0:51:09.840 someone's full blown, you know, attacking him, you know, just 0:51:10.920 --> 0:51:13.799 full frontal attack on him. I think he's not going 0:51:13.880 --> 0:51:17.480 to react well. And these people who he's around rarely 0:51:17.560 --> 0:51:20.560 have attacked him for his actual ideas being crazy. It's 0:51:20.600 --> 0:51:22.799 more like, oh, we haven't evolved to that yet. People 0:51:22.800 --> 0:51:25.960 aren't ready for that yet. Well, that's not what Trump's 0:51:25.960 --> 0:51:28.000 gonna do. Trump's gonna call him acami or whatever he 0:51:28.080 --> 0:51:30.440 comes up with, and he's going to constantly call him that. 0:51:30.520 --> 0:51:33.520 He's gonna have to defend it. Do you have concerns? 0:51:33.640 --> 0:51:35.520 You know, we had we had Ram Emmanuel before. I 0:51:35.600 --> 0:51:37.279 think we played a sound by from We've had all 0:51:37.280 --> 0:51:40.359 these different Democrats now, I mean David Axelrod I love 0:51:40.360 --> 0:51:42.279 because he comes out and says, Bernie Sanders is not 0:51:42.360 --> 0:51:44.360 a socialist. So we know that that's going to be 0:51:44.400 --> 0:51:46.279 a thing, right that the guy who walks around saying 0:51:46.320 --> 0:51:48.279 nothing but I'm a socialist, We're gonna be told he's 0:51:48.320 --> 0:51:50.520 not a socialist because you know, up is down and 0:51:50.560 --> 0:51:54.000 down is up. But the Democrats that are worried that 0:51:54.080 --> 0:51:57.520 this is going to lead to not just a presidential loss, 0:51:57.600 --> 0:52:00.520 but a possible electoral wipe out across the board. How 0:52:00.560 --> 0:52:02.560 would you gauge your confidence all because I do remember 0:52:02.640 --> 0:52:05.440 twenty sixteen with Trump, everybody thought Hillary was going to 0:52:05.480 --> 0:52:08.279 win pretty much. No, I'm not one of the people 0:52:08.280 --> 0:52:09.960 who thinks that Bernie is going to lose for sure. 0:52:10.320 --> 0:52:12.040 I'm not one of the people who thinks that that 0:52:12.320 --> 0:52:15.400 it's going to translate into you know, sweeps for the Republicans. 0:52:15.680 --> 0:52:17.839 In fact, I think people, especially when it comes to Trump. 0:52:17.880 --> 0:52:21.120 Obviously I was wrong about that election, But more than that, 0:52:21.280 --> 0:52:24.640 I think people compartmentalize who they vote for, and they 0:52:24.680 --> 0:52:27.080 can treat Bernie as his own thing, and just as 0:52:27.120 --> 0:52:29.400 they treat Trump as his own thing. You have a 0:52:29.480 --> 0:52:33.600 lot of Republicans, you know, with bigger vote margins and 0:52:33.760 --> 0:52:35.800 in some states than than Trump had. And you have 0:52:35.880 --> 0:52:38.280 a governor here in Maryland for instance, who is a Republican, 0:52:38.400 --> 0:52:40.520 has nothing to do with Trump. So I'm not I'm 0:52:40.560 --> 0:52:43.000 not sold on that idea. No, I am sold on 0:52:43.080 --> 0:52:45.360 the idea that Bernie is a real socialist. Just because 0:52:45.400 --> 0:52:48.160 a person can't get done what he wants done does 0:52:48.239 --> 0:52:50.360 not mean that that's not what he is. You know, 0:52:50.440 --> 0:52:52.560 he just think where he knows. Listen, he can't say 0:52:52.560 --> 0:52:55.520 we're going to nationalize every industry because it's impossible. So instead, 0:52:55.920 --> 0:52:57.799 you know, he does it a different way. He does 0:52:57.840 --> 0:53:01.719 it incrementally. He's a socialist. Yeah, I mean, I'm kind 0:53:01.760 --> 0:53:03.520 of amazed we're going to see this. We're also going 0:53:03.600 --> 0:53:06.600 to have a large chunk of the Democrat corporate media 0:53:07.120 --> 0:53:10.840 that has been very cautious and or hustle to Bernie 0:53:10.920 --> 0:53:13.160 for a while. If he becomes a nominee, that's all 0:53:13.239 --> 0:53:15.000 going to just disappear. And I think it's gonna be 0:53:15.000 --> 0:53:17.040 fascinating because real quick, do you think there'll be a 0:53:17.120 --> 0:53:19.560 never Bernie movement among Democrats? I feel like they're lust 0:53:19.600 --> 0:53:23.000 for power. Will that will never exist? I don't think 0:53:23.000 --> 0:53:25.359 you will exist. Maybe you know during the primaries there'll 0:53:25.400 --> 0:53:27.439 be a faction like that, but I think that will. 0:53:27.800 --> 0:53:31.160 There will be no major anti Bernie movement, and they 0:53:31.239 --> 0:53:33.759 certainly won't dominate television in the way that they never 0:53:33.840 --> 0:53:35.600 Trumpers do. I want to come back and ask you 0:53:35.680 --> 0:53:38.040 about how we got here. We got David Harsani, everybody 0:53:38.080 --> 0:53:40.880 of National Review, stay with us. Thanks for listening to 0:53:40.960 --> 0:53:45.160 The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, 0:53:45.400 --> 0:53:49.759 the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. All 0:53:49.840 --> 0:53:52.920 right back with David Harsany Nashalview dot com for his 0:53:53.239 --> 0:53:55.560 latest on this. David, I know, you know you've been 0:53:55.600 --> 0:53:58.359 writing about this. You know, I read the other day 0:53:58.400 --> 0:54:02.239 on air just an old, an old you know, Peace 0:54:02.280 --> 0:54:04.800 and the Press about how they used to drain the 0:54:04.880 --> 0:54:08.560 blood from execution victims, you know, political executions and Castro 0:54:08.880 --> 0:54:11.920 and Castro's Cuba before selling it to the Vietcong. I mean, 0:54:12.120 --> 0:54:15.680 this is a really scary, bad regime. Bernie Sanders still 0:54:15.760 --> 0:54:17.920 likes to say nice things about it, even after he's 0:54:17.960 --> 0:54:21.279 had this initial stumble. What do you make of that? Well, 0:54:21.520 --> 0:54:24.160 even today, you know, in the past he is basically 0:54:24.239 --> 0:54:26.600 any tyrant. It was a Communist that he was asked 0:54:26.600 --> 0:54:28.880 about he defended in some way. I mean, you know, 0:54:29.160 --> 0:54:31.799 every single one during his life's time that I can 0:54:31.920 --> 0:54:35.279 see um, And even today he can't say, yeah, you know, 0:54:35.320 --> 0:54:37.280 I was wrong about Castro. I mean, that guy was terrible. 0:54:37.360 --> 0:54:39.279 He has to say there was a literacy program he liked, 0:54:39.320 --> 0:54:42.239 as if communism wasn't, as if you needed communism to 0:54:42.280 --> 0:54:45.000 have a literacy program. You know, again, a lot of 0:54:45.040 --> 0:54:48.120 people pointed this out, but obviously no one says, boy, 0:54:48.440 --> 0:54:50.800 you know it was a real you know, environmentalist it was. 0:54:50.920 --> 0:54:52.400 That was a good part. We can't only say the 0:54:52.480 --> 0:54:54.759 bat you know, talk about the bad things. It's preposterous. 0:54:54.840 --> 0:54:58.680 He does it because he has an ideological uh, you know, 0:54:58.800 --> 0:55:02.319 he has ideological kins ship with what Castro has done there. 0:55:03.040 --> 0:55:06.080 And maybe he doesn't like the authoritarianism, but that goes 0:55:06.120 --> 0:55:08.239 hand in hand. It goes hand in hand every single time, 0:55:08.280 --> 0:55:11.920 because you can't have real socialism without compelling people to 0:55:12.000 --> 0:55:15.120 participate in stealing their property and making them do things. 0:55:15.600 --> 0:55:19.239 So he has never been asked to explain what in 0:55:19.280 --> 0:55:21.640 the Soviet Union he thinks was great that we should adopt, 0:55:21.719 --> 0:55:24.120 as he said at the time, because no one asks 0:55:24.200 --> 0:55:26.480 him tough questions, and that Castro question was the toughest 0:55:26.520 --> 0:55:28.800 thing has been asked. What was for you? What's the 0:55:28.880 --> 0:55:32.799 scariest thing about a possible Bernie Sanders presidency. He keeps 0:55:32.880 --> 0:55:35.960 deflecting to every he says this thing about you know, 0:55:36.040 --> 0:55:39.919 every other industrialized country has managed to do this, which 0:55:40.040 --> 0:55:42.600 is obviously very hazy on the details. But you know what, 0:55:42.719 --> 0:55:45.840 what is your response when people say, oh, we can't 0:55:46.000 --> 0:55:48.319 we can't be Sweden. We can't be Denmark. That's all 0:55:48.360 --> 0:55:51.759 Bernie Sanders wants. If we were Denmark, we'd have a 0:55:53.000 --> 0:55:55.040 very very high tax rates for the middle class and 0:55:55.080 --> 0:55:57.360 the poor as well. There is not they partly have 0:55:57.400 --> 0:56:01.160 any progressive taxation compared we have much bigger progressive taxation. 0:56:01.560 --> 0:56:04.200 They don't want them Mark here and they don't even 0:56:04.280 --> 0:56:07.480 understand what's going on in Denmark and nor any of 0:56:07.520 --> 0:56:11.600 the Scandinavian countries where they have capitalistic, capitalistic engine in 0:56:11.680 --> 0:56:14.840 a small country that you know that in a healthy 0:56:15.280 --> 0:56:17.880 not healthy, but a generous welfare program. That's not what 0:56:18.000 --> 0:56:21.200 he wants. He wants to nationalize healthcare in this country. 0:56:21.239 --> 0:56:23.680 He wants to nationalize the energy sector in this country. 0:56:23.760 --> 0:56:27.920 And you know that's my answers basically, you know, I mean, 0:56:27.960 --> 0:56:30.480 I think you know, most people who keep saying, oh, 0:56:30.600 --> 0:56:32.719 why can't we be like Scandinavia have no clue what's 0:56:32.760 --> 0:56:35.960 even going on there. The Swedish rejected socialism after the 0:56:36.000 --> 0:56:39.319 seventies and embrace it. Yeah, Now, this is what I've 0:56:39.360 --> 0:56:41.120 been telling the audience, So I'm glad to hear that's 0:56:41.160 --> 0:56:43.279 the same. That's the same way with like Uron, how 0:56:43.360 --> 0:56:45.960 do we how do we get to this point? Though, 0:56:45.960 --> 0:56:47.880 I know you're going to be writing a National Review 0:56:48.239 --> 0:56:50.920 in the next day or so about this specifically, you know, 0:56:51.000 --> 0:56:55.000 what has been the cultural transition rather than the cultural 0:56:55.120 --> 0:56:57.600 process that has brought us to a point where a 0:56:57.640 --> 0:57:00.160 straight up socialist can be a serious content or for 0:57:00.160 --> 0:57:03.600 the American presidency. Well, just to be preface this by saying, 0:57:03.640 --> 0:57:06.200 and I'm sure I've mentioned it on this show, that 0:57:06.320 --> 0:57:08.920 I am passionate about this, mostly because I think my 0:57:09.040 --> 0:57:12.520 parents were defectors from a communist country and to see 0:57:12.719 --> 0:57:15.960 them still alive having to think about what a social 0:57:16.120 --> 0:57:19.720 is becoming president, it's actually pretty horrifying for me. Lad 0:57:19.720 --> 0:57:20.920 I want to dig in it for a second day. 0:57:21.000 --> 0:57:22.400 And what did they tell you about? What was it like? 0:57:22.840 --> 0:57:24.560 What was it like in the old country. It was 0:57:24.640 --> 0:57:26.920 like that they gave up everything and left their family 0:57:26.960 --> 0:57:28.920 to come here because it was horrible, That's what it 0:57:29.000 --> 0:57:30.600 was like. I mean, they're from Hungary and it wasn't 0:57:31.000 --> 0:57:34.520 Let's remember, Hungary wasn't the worst of the communist countries, 0:57:34.560 --> 0:57:37.640 you know, as far as authoritarianism was concerned, wasn't as 0:57:37.640 --> 0:57:39.680 probably as bad as Easia, German or the Soviet Union. 0:57:39.720 --> 0:57:41.680 But it was bad enough where you couldn't you were 0:57:41.720 --> 0:57:43.520 told what to do, you were told what you could buy, 0:57:43.560 --> 0:57:46.120 you told what you can you know, become in life. 0:57:46.160 --> 0:57:48.760 And they didn't like that, so they gave up everything 0:57:48.800 --> 0:57:52.840 to come here, thankfully. And so to me it's personal 0:57:52.960 --> 0:57:56.120 as well to hear people, to hear someone like Bernie 0:57:56.200 --> 0:57:58.280 saying the same kinds of things that I've been thinking 0:57:58.280 --> 0:58:00.280 about and studying for a long time, probably because of 0:58:00.360 --> 0:58:05.520 my parents and growing up. You know, culturally, we never 0:58:05.720 --> 0:58:08.640 treated socialism as we should have, or the or communism 0:58:08.720 --> 0:58:10.360 as we should have. I was thinking the other day 0:58:10.360 --> 0:58:13.680 about how everyone in this country knows what the Holocausts are. 0:58:13.720 --> 0:58:16.680 Most people, I hope, who educated people do. They've seen 0:58:16.720 --> 0:58:19.560 pictures of it, they understand the depth in humanity of it. 0:58:20.000 --> 0:58:21.640 How many people here have heard of the greatly be 0:58:21.680 --> 0:58:23.320 Forward or how many people here know that there was 0:58:23.320 --> 0:58:26.920 a Ukrainian famine where far more people died than the Holocaust. 0:58:27.280 --> 0:58:29.360 You know, they don't know that, they don't see pictures 0:58:29.480 --> 0:58:33.960 because the academics in this country, the cultural stewards you know, 0:58:34.080 --> 0:58:36.160 of this country don't care about that kind of thing. 0:58:36.280 --> 0:58:39.760 They have whitewash communism and whitewash socialism. Why I've been 0:58:39.760 --> 0:58:41.760 telling I've been telling everyone listens for a while to 0:58:41.880 --> 0:58:45.520 read The Great Terror by Robert Conquest, which is which 0:58:45.600 --> 0:58:49.720 is a study of effectively how academics in the West, 0:58:50.080 --> 0:58:53.880 the UK, and America pretended that the Great Purges under 0:58:53.880 --> 0:58:58.600 Stalin didn't happen. Millions and millions and millions of people tortured, murdered, starve, killed, 0:58:58.640 --> 0:59:01.000 sent to Siberia. All of the people act like that 0:59:01.040 --> 0:59:05.640 didn't happen, right, or yeah, or they're apologists for the things, 0:59:05.760 --> 0:59:08.320 or even yesterday. So I forget his name, but he 0:59:08.440 --> 0:59:11.560 was at BuzzFeed once saying America is just as bad 0:59:11.600 --> 0:59:14.000 as Cuba, or even just as bad. You know, we 0:59:14.200 --> 0:59:16.520 are forced to say the pleasure of allegiance in school. 0:59:16.560 --> 0:59:20.560 Also like these. Sometimes I wonder if they're just not 0:59:20.760 --> 0:59:23.120 educated enough, or if they fool themselves or they don't care. 0:59:23.760 --> 0:59:27.880 But generally, I think what happens is that socialism is enticing. 0:59:27.960 --> 0:59:31.800 It's kind of a religious It's about feels, you know 0:59:31.840 --> 0:59:33.360 what I mean. I want to help the poor, I 0:59:33.440 --> 0:59:36.720 want to make people equal, and whether the Soviet unions 0:59:36.760 --> 0:59:39.880 around or not around, people will embrace that. The Soviet 0:59:40.040 --> 0:59:42.120 Union was around, Burnie embraced that he didn't care. So 0:59:42.360 --> 0:59:45.600 it's not just about not being around for that stuff. 0:59:45.960 --> 0:59:47.720 And first of all, we are around for that stuff, right, 0:59:47.760 --> 0:59:50.640 You have Venezuela of China, you have North Korea and 0:59:50.760 --> 0:59:53.400 other countries, so you're around for it. They just don't care. 0:59:53.560 --> 0:59:55.200 They think they can do it better and do it right. 0:59:56.280 --> 0:59:57.840 And again, I just I want to quickly say, I'm 0:59:57.840 --> 0:59:59.840 not saying Burnie is Stalin, but I am saying no 1:00:00.120 --> 1:00:03.440 works around saying hey, I'm a democratic fascist, right because 1:00:03.480 --> 1:00:06.520 it would be preposterous, just as it's preposterous as the 1:00:06.520 --> 1:00:08.680 same a democratic social And so you feel like if 1:00:08.800 --> 1:00:13.440 if people understood that that Bernie Sanders is not representing 1:00:13.960 --> 1:00:17.200 a future for because I think the American left largely, 1:00:17.280 --> 1:00:19.880 I mean, there are the true radicals that want total 1:00:20.000 --> 1:00:24.160 social justice based economic reorganization and upheaval, but I think 1:00:24.200 --> 1:00:27.440 that in that for a lot of more normal democrats, 1:00:27.480 --> 1:00:29.480 however you want to define that, they're like, we're just 1:00:29.560 --> 1:00:31.680 trying to be more like Europe, That's what they say. 1:00:31.840 --> 1:00:33.520 And this is general thing of we're just going to 1:00:33.600 --> 1:00:35.120 be more like Europe. What do you say to that? 1:00:36.280 --> 1:00:38.720 I get it, I mean, and I believe that that's 1:00:38.760 --> 1:00:42.200 what most normal Democrats probably want to do. Europe is 1:00:42.200 --> 1:00:44.560 not a success, though we're a success. We're much more 1:00:44.600 --> 1:00:47.880 successful in Europe. The more you organize and have coped 1:00:47.880 --> 1:00:53.360 down control of the economy, the more stagnant your society is, 1:00:53.480 --> 1:00:58.720 the less growth there is. I just don't understand. Here's 1:00:58.760 --> 1:01:00.640 really what my problem is. I just don't understand what 1:01:00.680 --> 1:01:02.800 people are talking about. The act like we're in the middle. 1:01:02.920 --> 1:01:05.720 You know that we're nineteen seventeen Russia here or something 1:01:05.800 --> 1:01:08.240 like that. We're not. We're getting better. Everything's getting better, 1:01:08.320 --> 1:01:12.680 we're living longer. To to try to now control the economy, 1:01:12.760 --> 1:01:16.440 to have someone take over your healthcare because it's it's expensive. 1:01:16.520 --> 1:01:19.640 I mean that has never worked, and healthcare is expanded. 1:01:19.800 --> 1:01:23.000 The two things that are outrageously expensive in comparison to 1:01:23.080 --> 1:01:24.840 what they used to be are two, as I like 1:01:24.960 --> 1:01:27.880 to point out, two of the most heavily government regulated 1:01:28.120 --> 1:01:32.480 and government involved areas of the economy healthcare and education, right, 1:01:32.520 --> 1:01:35.080 and also housing has gone up as well. But you 1:01:35.160 --> 1:01:39.000 know it is more expensive, but no one says things 1:01:39.080 --> 1:01:41.280 have to be cheaper forever. You also get a lot more, 1:01:41.400 --> 1:01:46.800 we live longer, with less pain, We have incredible technological 1:01:46.840 --> 1:01:48.760 advances in medicine, and one day they're going to be 1:01:48.840 --> 1:01:50.520 cheaper and when you know, when we learn how to 1:01:50.560 --> 1:01:53.400 be more productive making those things, and the idea that 1:01:53.480 --> 1:01:56.640 we should hand that over to government, to me is 1:01:56.720 --> 1:01:59.720 just it's un American, and you know, and I hope 1:01:59.720 --> 1:02:01.880 that enough Democrats realize that. Though I don't know how 1:02:01.920 --> 1:02:04.280 you st I actually think, and I'm trying to get 1:02:04.360 --> 1:02:06.560 you know, more people to at least hear me out 1:02:06.600 --> 1:02:09.840 on this theory. There was a huge surge towards socialism 1:02:11.160 --> 1:02:13.880 during and after the Great Depression in America in the West. 1:02:14.160 --> 1:02:17.520 The idea was that capitalism had failed and that socialism 1:02:17.680 --> 1:02:19.600 was the future. Right. This is and this was it 1:02:19.720 --> 1:02:22.240 was communist propaganda, but this is what was believed by 1:02:22.600 --> 1:02:26.960 a lot of people, you know, British, British intellectuals, American journalists. 1:02:27.760 --> 1:02:30.000 I think that we've ventured a period where America is 1:02:30.000 --> 1:02:32.840 actually so peaceful and so prosperous that now we almost 1:02:32.840 --> 1:02:35.400 have the opposite problem. Who everyone's thinking, well, if we 1:02:35.480 --> 1:02:38.760 only gave the government more control, we could completely eradicate 1:02:39.920 --> 1:02:43.160 we essentially could get to utopia. We can completely eradicate 1:02:43.240 --> 1:02:46.880 poverty and pain and illness and all these other things. Now, 1:02:46.920 --> 1:02:49.800 I think that's right. I think that people don't listen. 1:02:49.920 --> 1:02:51.680 There's always going to be a segment of a population 1:02:51.760 --> 1:02:55.120 that's suffering, obviously, so there are problems. We don't live 1:02:55.120 --> 1:02:56.920 in utopia. It's never going to be that way. But 1:02:57.600 --> 1:03:00.320 I do think that we have so few problems or another. Yeah, 1:03:00.400 --> 1:03:01.640 so I agree with what you're saying. But I think 1:03:01.640 --> 1:03:04.520 another problem is we look at our political environment, which 1:03:04.560 --> 1:03:06.920 is ridiculous right now and has been for a while, 1:03:07.280 --> 1:03:09.760 and we sort of transpose that onto the real world. 1:03:09.800 --> 1:03:12.040 The real world is nothing like that. I live amongst 1:03:12.120 --> 1:03:16.280 my neighbors very peacefully. Everything was going pretty good for 1:03:16.400 --> 1:03:19.840 their lives, and but then they look at the havoc 1:03:19.880 --> 1:03:21.960 of politics and they think that that's how the country 1:03:22.040 --> 1:03:25.320 is in general, when it's not. So. I think I 1:03:25.400 --> 1:03:27.280 think people have the wrong even though I don't know. 1:03:27.360 --> 1:03:29.200 There were poles of Gallipole showed that most people are 1:03:29.240 --> 1:03:31.720 pretty happy in etc. But I think the people think 1:03:31.800 --> 1:03:35.160 there's a lot of turmoil when really they have less 1:03:35.200 --> 1:03:37.480 turmoil that than they've ever had in history. And what 1:03:37.560 --> 1:03:40.280 about the points about the middle? You know, this keeps 1:03:40.320 --> 1:03:41.800 coming up to the middle class have it worse. The 1:03:41.880 --> 1:03:43.600 middle class have it worse. I mean I've seen some 1:03:43.880 --> 1:03:47.080 serious right leaning I guess you could say economists who 1:03:47.280 --> 1:03:51.120 will point out that, you know, my parents generation, for example, 1:03:51.520 --> 1:03:53.440 there were things that were you know, less, there were 1:03:53.480 --> 1:03:56.120 things that were less expensive even when adjusted for inflation 1:03:56.200 --> 1:03:58.760 and everything else. It seems like you're telling me also, yeah, 1:03:58.840 --> 1:04:01.320 but you know you can around a supercomputer in your 1:04:01.360 --> 1:04:04.240 pocket and are going to live like fifteen years longer 1:04:04.280 --> 1:04:06.440 and healthier, etcetera, etcetera. I mean, how do you deal 1:04:06.520 --> 1:04:08.960 with the middle class is getting a raw deal? Right? 1:04:09.000 --> 1:04:11.080 This is what all those democrats say. What's the truth 1:04:11.120 --> 1:04:14.439 of that? Well, the right leaning people you're talking about 1:04:14.440 --> 1:04:16.160 are not serious in my book, But I will tell 1:04:16.200 --> 1:04:18.600 you this, Yes, some things are more expensive, it seems 1:04:18.600 --> 1:04:20.360 to me, how is this, for instance, but they're also 1:04:20.360 --> 1:04:24.120 a million times nicer. I mean, I mean that they're bigger, 1:04:24.280 --> 1:04:27.200 they're more beautiful, they're better built, they're safer. There are 1:04:27.360 --> 1:04:30.120 very few things today that are Take a car. I 1:04:30.200 --> 1:04:33.880 just saw a just saw a study on cars that 1:04:34.040 --> 1:04:35.800 when when I was a kid, that people would have 1:04:35.880 --> 1:04:38.360 their cars like five six years whatever it was. Now 1:04:38.560 --> 1:04:41.160 cars ten years later are running people have to return them. 1:04:41.200 --> 1:04:43.400 They're still in like really good shape. They could run, 1:04:43.560 --> 1:04:45.120 you know, they could go two hundred thousand miles and 1:04:45.120 --> 1:04:47.240 there would be no problem. Everything we have is a 1:04:47.320 --> 1:04:51.120 better quality. A dollar I spend on something on medical care, 1:04:51.160 --> 1:04:53.720 for instance, is far more useful today than it was 1:04:53.800 --> 1:04:56.000 back then. The idea that the middle classes stuff. First 1:04:56.000 --> 1:04:58.600 of all, the middle class is growing, the upper middle 1:04:58.600 --> 1:05:01.200 class is growing. We're not getting poor, we're getting richer. 1:05:01.560 --> 1:05:03.640 And people don't want to accept this for some reason. 1:05:04.080 --> 1:05:06.280 But the country is better now. Obviously, we have some 1:05:06.360 --> 1:05:10.000 social problems, and you know, the the overdoses and all 1:05:10.040 --> 1:05:12.440 of that, and they were people. You know, those are 1:05:12.520 --> 1:05:15.520 moral problems and ethnic problems and communal problems. I'm not 1:05:15.600 --> 1:05:18.440 sure that a government can solve those things, you know. 1:05:18.680 --> 1:05:21.560 I just have never seen that happen before, where government 1:05:21.600 --> 1:05:25.520 solves your depression. For instance, David Harsani dropping happy truth 1:05:25.600 --> 1:05:27.400 bombs for all of us to hear, I mean, telling 1:05:27.480 --> 1:05:29.920 us that things actually are getting better. David's stuff will 1:05:29.920 --> 1:05:32.000 be up at nashurreview dot com. Reading there, follow him 1:05:32.040 --> 1:05:35.080 on Twitter. Last name kind of spelled like it sounds 1:05:35.280 --> 1:05:38.120 h A R S A n y I. David, thanks 1:05:38.160 --> 1:05:43.480 so much man any time. Thank you, You're enough freedom. 1:05:44.240 --> 1:05:50.720 This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Damn, we got 1:05:50.800 --> 1:05:55.760 another bomb drop by Project Veritas here. This time it's 1:05:55.800 --> 1:06:00.520 an ABC News correspondent who has been It's just spended 1:06:00.920 --> 1:06:03.440 in advance of what will be a Project very Toss 1:06:04.200 --> 1:06:09.320 video released. Veteran reporter David Wright was suspended. We have 1:06:09.480 --> 1:06:12.480 some of the audio producer mark Project Veritas tricks again. 1:06:12.560 --> 1:06:41.560 Play it keeping. Yeah, voters are guys like I'm a socialist. Okay, 1:06:41.720 --> 1:06:44.600 now this gets very interesting for me on a few levels. One, 1:06:44.720 --> 1:06:47.400 I think the Project Veritas has done some the best 1:06:47.480 --> 1:06:49.920 undercover the most important undercover videos all they actually make 1:06:49.960 --> 1:06:51.760 you want to throw up when you watch them that 1:06:51.840 --> 1:06:54.800 I've ever seen were from David de Laydon and the 1:06:54.880 --> 1:06:57.840 Center for Medical Progress. And the fact that that did 1:06:57.920 --> 1:07:01.560 not result in a complete national revulsion and change in 1:07:01.600 --> 1:07:04.400 the view of abortion and abortion laws is a stain 1:07:04.520 --> 1:07:07.880 on this country's honor and integrity. But Product for artas 1:07:07.960 --> 1:07:11.080 does some good stuff. James o'keith is a brave guy 1:07:11.200 --> 1:07:13.920 who works hard at what he does. I have been 1:07:13.920 --> 1:07:15.840 a little critical in the past, and I would continue 1:07:15.880 --> 1:07:19.920 to be about posing as a colleague slash friend of 1:07:20.040 --> 1:07:23.240 somebody in off hours who happens to work for a 1:07:23.320 --> 1:07:26.920 news organization who's kind of like a you know, getting 1:07:26.960 --> 1:07:31.200 some ap assistant producer, some effectively close to entry level 1:07:31.280 --> 1:07:33.960 person or somebody who's you know, maybe a couple runs 1:07:34.040 --> 1:07:36.720 up the ladder from that and having them say some 1:07:36.840 --> 1:07:39.959 stuff and then exposing that and getting them in trouble 1:07:39.960 --> 1:07:41.960 and ruining their career. You know, I think, I think 1:07:42.000 --> 1:07:44.720 you gotta be you gotta be willing to draw some 1:07:44.840 --> 1:07:46.360 lines here. And it's one thing if you can get 1:07:46.400 --> 1:07:48.680 like a CNN anchor being like, yeah, I'm a socialist 1:07:48.720 --> 1:07:51.480 and I hate Republicans and I pretend to be neutral 1:07:51.560 --> 1:07:55.880 on TV. Yeah, that's that, you know, you can break 1:07:56.840 --> 1:07:59.760 break the confidence of somebody that you're posing as you know, 1:08:00.000 --> 1:08:03.280 somebody having a normal conversation with. But the other stuff, 1:08:03.320 --> 1:08:05.560 I think Project Veritas has gone after some people that 1:08:05.600 --> 1:08:07.480 are a little too low level in my opinion. I'm 1:08:07.520 --> 1:08:09.040 just going to say it. So I don't like everything 1:08:09.080 --> 1:08:12.080 that they do on this exposing bias realm that said 1:08:12.160 --> 1:08:15.720 they are doing the work, and this guy I think, 1:08:15.880 --> 1:08:18.920 I mean, I don't know that much about the hierarchy 1:08:19.040 --> 1:08:22.760 over at ABC News, but this guy's a senior correspondent. 1:08:22.880 --> 1:08:25.840 He's been around for a long time, and he's getting 1:08:25.880 --> 1:08:28.640 in trouble here for saying what we essentially already know 1:08:28.800 --> 1:08:31.320 to be the case, what we already know to be true, 1:08:32.080 --> 1:08:35.519 and that is that these networks CBS to this debate 1:08:35.600 --> 1:08:39.280 last night ABC. These are lib networks that are clinging 1:08:39.400 --> 1:08:42.560 to this fiction that they're neutral, and it's because that 1:08:42.800 --> 1:08:45.599 gives them an advantage over their competitors, because they hold 1:08:45.640 --> 1:08:48.720 themselves up as, oh see, we're the real journalists, we 1:08:48.840 --> 1:08:52.400 do the honest journalism here. And they're these massive legacy 1:08:52.439 --> 1:08:55.000 institutions with a huge amount of corporate money and power 1:08:55.080 --> 1:08:57.759 behind them, and so they still have I mean, ABC 1:08:57.920 --> 1:09:00.479 News has ten million people watching in a night. I mean, 1:09:00.520 --> 1:09:02.439 if you want to watch like a male model read 1:09:02.439 --> 1:09:04.360 off of a prompter, you can do that on any 1:09:04.479 --> 1:09:06.360 channel base. I don't know why people do. Oh that 1:09:06.479 --> 1:09:09.120 could David and Weird, you know. I'm like, okay, we're 1:09:09.160 --> 1:09:11.200 gonna see them take his shirt off? Like why is 1:09:11.240 --> 1:09:14.720 everyone so excited about watching this thirty minute broadcast? That's 1:09:14.720 --> 1:09:16.519 so And it always ends too with like oh on 1:09:16.600 --> 1:09:19.000 a hoppy story of like ducks on a palm that 1:09:19.160 --> 1:09:21.600 you know, found their mother. I mean, I think I 1:09:21.640 --> 1:09:25.760 think this format is hopefully going away soon. You know, 1:09:25.840 --> 1:09:28.120 ABC they run this programming all day and then then 1:09:28.200 --> 1:09:30.439 they throw on a news broadcast for thirty minutes or 1:09:30.479 --> 1:09:32.840 whatever it is at night. Same thing with CBS evening news. 1:09:32.920 --> 1:09:34.960 Like why why does anybody think that they should watch this? 1:09:36.120 --> 1:09:38.080 And it's old habits. I mean, it goes back to 1:09:38.120 --> 1:09:40.040 when people that was their only option and they're used 1:09:40.040 --> 1:09:42.400 to doing that, and so they keep doing it. But 1:09:42.760 --> 1:09:45.120 they cling to this fiction because it gives them an 1:09:45.120 --> 1:09:48.800 advantage over their competitors, and it should go away. A 1:09:48.960 --> 1:09:53.280 well educated news consumer understands that ABC, CBS, NBC, they 1:09:53.280 --> 1:09:56.400 are liberal networks. They're pushing a liberal agenda. Their anchors 1:09:56.400 --> 1:09:58.839 are generally unimpressive and don't know very much about politics 1:09:58.920 --> 1:10:01.439 or the world, and this is just the reality we 1:10:01.520 --> 1:10:04.719 live in. So this senior guy saying that they spike 1:10:04.840 --> 1:10:07.360 stories that are pro Trump, they run stories that are 1:10:07.400 --> 1:10:11.240 anti Trump, he's a socialist, just confirmation of what we 1:10:11.439 --> 1:10:13.960 already know. And if he's a senior enough guy, I 1:10:14.040 --> 1:10:17.200 mean I think that that's I think then that justifies 1:10:17.400 --> 1:10:21.320 the undercover approach to get this information about about this individual, 1:10:23.080 --> 1:10:24.760 you know, And so I think that I think that 1:10:24.920 --> 1:10:28.120 this one probably clears the bar for me in terms 1:10:28.160 --> 1:10:31.200 of a project very toss sting operation. You know, getting 1:10:31.240 --> 1:10:33.200 some guy who's like a glorified intern to talk about 1:10:33.200 --> 1:10:35.599 the Bernie Revolution, you know, I think you're just getting 1:10:35.600 --> 1:10:38.000 somebody in trouble. It doesn't really do all that much. 1:10:38.840 --> 1:10:42.120 So yeah, man, project very tas got another guy telling 1:10:42.200 --> 1:10:44.840 us what we know. Add this one onto the list 1:10:44.960 --> 1:10:48.000 for Oh, you mean that a major news network is 1:10:48.040 --> 1:10:50.240 really biased and people shouldn't believe them and they pretend 1:10:50.280 --> 1:10:54.280 to be objective journalists.

We are 1:11:06.200 --> 1:11:09.240 joined by the one and only Matt Wall. She has 1:11:09.400 --> 1:11:12.800 a new book out, Church of Cowards. He's going to 1:11:12.920 --> 1:11:15.519 tell us a bit about that. And also, if you 1:11:15.560 --> 1:11:17.599 haven't already, you can check out his podcast, The Matt 1:11:17.640 --> 1:11:20.600 Wall Show, and he's a writer at The Daily y 1:11:20.720 --> 1:11:22.800 or Matt. Great to have you back on the show. Yeah, great, spear, 1:11:22.840 --> 1:11:24.360 thanks for having me back. All right, well let's start 1:11:24.360 --> 1:11:25.960 with let's start with the book and then I'll get 1:11:25.960 --> 1:11:27.639 into a little bit of current events, if that's all right. 1:11:27.720 --> 1:11:31.280 So Church of Cowards a wake up call to complacent Christians. 1:11:31.880 --> 1:11:35.400 What do you want complains and Christians to know? Well, 1:11:35.479 --> 1:11:38.760 I think you know when you when you look at 1:11:39.000 --> 1:11:41.360 at the situation of the church. I think most most Christians, 1:11:41.439 --> 1:11:44.240 most believe in Christians, realize that we have a problem, 1:11:44.320 --> 1:11:47.840 that the church is dying. Essentially, not to not to 1:11:47.920 --> 1:11:50.120 be too dramatic about it, but when you see that, 1:11:50.160 --> 1:11:53.479 when you see the statistics of younger generation leaving the church, 1:11:53.600 --> 1:11:57.479 especially when he gets around college age, and faith is dwindling, 1:11:58.080 --> 1:12:00.040 you look, and you look even more specifically, yet the 1:12:00.160 --> 1:12:04.320 number of Christians who will affirm even the most basic 1:12:04.600 --> 1:12:08.280 doctrinal points of Christianity, those numbers are going down. Why 1:12:08.479 --> 1:12:11.599 is that, That's the question. And I think the answer 1:12:11.720 --> 1:12:15.679 is that in our culture in the West, as opposed 1:12:15.680 --> 1:12:17.200 to out in the East, in the Middle East and 1:12:17.240 --> 1:12:20.200 places in Africa where they have real violent persecution they faced, 1:12:20.280 --> 1:12:23.160 we don't face that. Our problem is almost exactly the opposite, 1:12:23.200 --> 1:12:25.880 where we're far too comfortable and we're sort of just 1:12:26.080 --> 1:12:29.000 drifting along on the tide of the culture. And going 1:12:29.040 --> 1:12:31.120 wherever and it takes us, and in this case, it's 1:12:31.160 --> 1:12:36.000 taking us right into faithlessness and secularism and relativism. And 1:12:36.160 --> 1:12:37.720 so this book is trying to call attention to that 1:12:37.840 --> 1:12:43.519 and basically hoping to rally Christians to resist that tide, 1:12:43.600 --> 1:12:45.600 because I think we've been just drifting with it for 1:12:45.680 --> 1:12:48.040 far too long. Why is that? I mean, people talk 1:12:48.040 --> 1:12:51.680 a lot about the culture and the influences that one 1:12:51.960 --> 1:12:55.280 has from just you know, TV movies, what's cool, you know, 1:12:55.400 --> 1:12:58.880 the VMAs, all this stuff. It tends to not be 1:12:58.960 --> 1:13:01.000 in line with it, with it, you say, a traditional 1:13:01.200 --> 1:13:05.200 Christian morality. Is there a way to infuse the culture 1:13:05.280 --> 1:13:07.360 with more of that? Or is that a pipe dream? 1:13:07.400 --> 1:13:09.800 What do you make of it? Well? I think it 1:13:09.880 --> 1:13:12.559 has to start. It has to start with the church. 1:13:12.720 --> 1:13:14.320 And when I say the church, I mean, you know, 1:13:14.720 --> 1:13:19.360 Christianity generally, churches in general. It has has to start there. 1:13:19.400 --> 1:13:23.799 And I think what the problem is that many churches 1:13:23.880 --> 1:13:27.559 for a long time and Christian leaders have been scared, 1:13:27.600 --> 1:13:31.280 have been very reluctant. I've been scared to challenge their flocks, 1:13:31.840 --> 1:13:34.920 especially morally, you know, to have a real moral message 1:13:34.960 --> 1:13:37.479 to call them to sacrifice and repent in these things, 1:13:38.400 --> 1:13:40.160 and so it has to has to be to begin 1:13:40.280 --> 1:13:42.759 with that. You know, we can we can't be afraid 1:13:42.840 --> 1:13:46.559 to engage on a moral level, um, and we can't 1:13:46.560 --> 1:13:49.080 be afraid of of engaging the culture, which is which 1:13:49.080 --> 1:13:50.800 has been the case, which has been the case for 1:13:50.880 --> 1:13:52.960 so long. Now. You're a Catholic, I'm a Catholic. What 1:13:53.040 --> 1:13:56.439 do you think of this Pope? You know, I'm I'm 1:13:57.000 --> 1:13:58.400 I can't say I'm a big I'm a big fan 1:13:58.439 --> 1:14:01.600 of the pope. My, my biggest, the biggest issue with 1:14:01.760 --> 1:14:06.479 with Pope Francis is that the one thing we need 1:14:06.760 --> 1:14:13.040 as Catholics and as Christians generally is moral clarity and direction. 1:14:14.200 --> 1:14:16.599 And that's the exact opposite of what we've been getting 1:14:16.640 --> 1:14:19.480 from the Vatican for years now, where it's just confusion, 1:14:19.600 --> 1:14:22.479 it's haziness. And you know, it sounds like the Pope 1:14:22.600 --> 1:14:24.880 is suggesting that this or that change to be made. 1:14:24.960 --> 1:14:29.320 It sounds like he's even challenging some really fundamental points 1:14:29.360 --> 1:14:31.600 of doctrine, and that's what it sounds like. And then 1:14:31.640 --> 1:14:33.640 we're told no by the Vaticaneau, it's not exactly what 1:14:33.720 --> 1:14:35.200 he meant. But what did he mean? I don't know, 1:14:35.560 --> 1:14:37.599 and it's just been the same game that's been played 1:14:37.680 --> 1:14:40.880 for years now. And all it does it confuses people, 1:14:40.960 --> 1:14:44.800 and it makes devout Catholics feel betrayed, and it makes 1:14:44.880 --> 1:14:47.280 us feel like, well, what you know, it makes us 1:14:47.280 --> 1:14:50.200 feel like the Pope does just doesn't care the situation 1:14:50.280 --> 1:14:52.920 that we're in, or doesn't doesn't realize what it's like 1:14:53.080 --> 1:14:56.760 for us in this culture. Now, forty one senators Democratic 1:14:56.800 --> 1:15:01.880 senators just voted against giving medical care when babies are 1:15:01.960 --> 1:15:06.360 born alive during an abortion procedure. Democrats claim it doesn't happen. 1:15:06.800 --> 1:15:09.920 I know this happens. We know this happens. There are 1:15:09.960 --> 1:15:13.680 people that have testified about it happening to them, but 1:15:13.880 --> 1:15:16.599 then they go ahead and vote against this after saying 1:15:16.640 --> 1:15:18.360 it's not a thing. Then they say, well, even if 1:15:18.400 --> 1:15:20.320 it is a thing, we're not going to give protection 1:15:20.400 --> 1:15:23.919 to babies who are born alive during an abortion procedure. 1:15:24.200 --> 1:15:26.200 I want to ask you know, what do you think 1:15:26.240 --> 1:15:29.400 should be the appropriate what is the appropriate response from 1:15:29.640 --> 1:15:31.040 I don't mean it focus too much here in the 1:15:31.080 --> 1:15:33.720 Catholic church, but it is an area where I think 1:15:33.720 --> 1:15:36.320 you and I have some similar views on this. Pelosi Biden, 1:15:36.400 --> 1:15:38.479 people who I think Biden. Yeah, Biden claims to be 1:15:38.520 --> 1:15:40.639 Catholic as well. I know Pelosi will talk about her faith. 1:15:41.040 --> 1:15:43.479 What should be done When someone like Nancy Pelosi, for example, 1:15:43.560 --> 1:15:47.960 supports publicly as a as a leader and as a legislator, 1:15:48.040 --> 1:15:50.959 a legislator abortion for all nine months of her pregnancy, 1:15:51.120 --> 1:15:53.080 and then turns around and talks about how her Catholic 1:15:53.120 --> 1:15:56.960 faith informs her love for everybody, I think it's just 1:15:57.040 --> 1:16:00.320 a total mockery and a disgrace that these politics are 1:16:00.320 --> 1:16:04.120 allowed to continue. Obviously, the Catholic Church can't stop them 1:16:04.160 --> 1:16:06.320 from saying whatever they want to say. But the Catholic 1:16:06.400 --> 1:16:08.640 Church can say, well, if you're if this is a 1:16:08.680 --> 1:16:10.320 position you're going to take, and you're going to try 1:16:10.360 --> 1:16:13.680 to lead people into scandal and sin publicly, then you're 1:16:13.680 --> 1:16:14.840 not going to do it as a Catholic and they 1:16:14.840 --> 1:16:18.000 should be excommunicated. This is a this is a tool 1:16:18.080 --> 1:16:20.679 that the Catholic Church has under its belt, and maybe 1:16:20.720 --> 1:16:22.479 there was a time when it was a little bit 1:16:22.520 --> 1:16:25.880 too liberal in its use of it, but in recent 1:16:26.040 --> 1:16:29.000 years and decades, it's it just seems like there's nothing 1:16:29.320 --> 1:16:32.519 that a Catholic can do, apparently at least in the West, 1:16:33.240 --> 1:16:35.920 to get themselves excommunicate. But this is this is supposed 1:16:35.960 --> 1:16:37.919 to be exactly the situation it gets you as communicate. 1:16:37.960 --> 1:16:41.799 When you're on a public stage and you're denying basic 1:16:41.920 --> 1:16:45.840 fundamental doctrines of the Catholic Church and trying to importantly 1:16:46.040 --> 1:16:48.680 lead other people into denying it as well, that's when 1:16:48.680 --> 1:16:50.400 the Catholic Church is supposed to state, No, you're not 1:16:50.760 --> 1:16:52.880 that this is you're you're not in you're clearly not 1:16:53.040 --> 1:16:56.240 in communion with us, and so you know, hit the 1:16:56.280 --> 1:16:58.840 bricks basically, and that's what should be said. There's there's 1:16:58.880 --> 1:17:02.200 no argument I can see, you know, for allowing this 1:17:02.360 --> 1:17:04.360 to continue the way the church has. What do you 1:17:04.439 --> 1:17:08.040 make of Pope Pete's speaking of popes. Pope, by the way, 1:17:08.120 --> 1:17:10.559 speaking to Matt Walsh, who has a new book out 1:17:10.640 --> 1:17:13.320 that you all should check out. You probably know Matt 1:17:13.439 --> 1:17:15.759 from the Daily Wire. His book is Church of Cowards, 1:17:16.000 --> 1:17:19.040 a wake up called the Complacent Christians. Uh yeah, but 1:17:19.200 --> 1:17:22.720 Pope he seems to, even when it's not necessary, fall 1:17:22.800 --> 1:17:26.520 back on this. Let me lecture Christians who are Republicans 1:17:26.640 --> 1:17:30.320 or conservatives about the immorality of their side. Well, what's 1:17:30.360 --> 1:17:33.479 the Matt Walsh take on all that. Yeah, I think 1:17:33.479 --> 1:17:36.840 it's it's interesting that Republicans are, though, are the ones 1:17:36.880 --> 1:17:39.200 who are accused of being Bible thumpers all the time. 1:17:39.240 --> 1:17:42.400 But but yeah, Pope pe or pastor pas I've called 1:17:42.640 --> 1:17:44.960 you gave him that, you gave him the uh you know, 1:17:45.000 --> 1:17:48.240 you're promoted him my guests to pope. But he's the 1:17:48.280 --> 1:17:50.639 one who brings up the Bible, constantly brings up, brings 1:17:50.680 --> 1:17:52.719 his faith into it all the time, which I wouldn't 1:17:52.800 --> 1:17:54.320 have a problem with if it wasn't number one, for 1:17:54.320 --> 1:17:57.280 the hypocrisy of it. But number two that he's that 1:17:57.360 --> 1:18:01.840 he's distorting the biblical message support some of the worst 1:18:02.160 --> 1:18:04.760 moral outrages that the world has ever seen. I mean, 1:18:05.560 --> 1:18:10.679 he is in favor of abortion at every stage of development. 1:18:10.720 --> 1:18:13.160 He was given a chance recently at I think it 1:18:13.200 --> 1:18:14.640 was a town hall, he was given a chance to 1:18:15.400 --> 1:18:18.280 at least come out against partial birth abortion, which is, 1:18:18.840 --> 1:18:21.800 you know, the killing of a baby literally as it's 1:18:21.880 --> 1:18:24.960 being born and emerging from the birth canal. And he 1:18:25.120 --> 1:18:27.840 wouldn't come out against that. He apparently has no problem 1:18:27.880 --> 1:18:30.439 with that. And yet he's trying to use his faith 1:18:31.439 --> 1:18:33.600 as a as a cudgel to beat other people with 1:18:33.720 --> 1:18:37.640 and it's just absolutely hypocritical and wrong. And man, I 1:18:37.840 --> 1:18:40.080 also want to get your take on what do you 1:18:40.120 --> 1:18:42.200 see happening right now that we had the debate last night. 1:18:42.240 --> 1:18:44.519 What do you see happening right now in this democratic field? 1:18:44.520 --> 1:18:47.000 Are are you concerned that Bernie Sanders, if he becomes 1:18:47.040 --> 1:18:50.639 the nominee, can actually win. I think he can win. 1:18:51.120 --> 1:18:53.840 My money wouldn't be wouldn't be on him. I think 1:18:53.880 --> 1:18:55.800 the smart money was starting to be against him winning 1:18:55.880 --> 1:18:58.880 because for all, for all the obvious reasons. At number one, 1:18:58.920 --> 1:19:00.920 he's a communist and it is hard to imagine that 1:19:01.000 --> 1:19:03.160 thirty years after after, you know, we win the Cold 1:19:03.200 --> 1:19:05.479 War and we actually elect the communist president. So that's 1:19:05.479 --> 1:19:08.080 hard to imagine. On top of that, you know, also 1:19:08.160 --> 1:19:09.760 other things. I think the fact that he's going to 1:19:09.760 --> 1:19:13.439 be seventy nine years old at inauguration day, you know, 1:19:13.520 --> 1:19:15.720 that's that's also a problem that people recognize him, and 1:19:16.000 --> 1:19:18.920 so many other issues as well. So that's what would 1:19:19.280 --> 1:19:21.920 I think put the odds against him. But I also 1:19:22.040 --> 1:19:24.880 think that many conservatives and Trump supporters have been a 1:19:24.960 --> 1:19:29.000 little bit too cocky and confident, basically guaranteeing that you know, 1:19:29.439 --> 1:19:32.439 he's going to lose forty five states or whatever. Uh, 1:19:32.840 --> 1:19:34.720 he definitely has a chance to win because there are 1:19:34.760 --> 1:19:37.040 other things that are working in his favor. And you 1:19:37.120 --> 1:19:40.439 do you do see some interesting parallels between Bernie twenty 1:19:40.520 --> 1:19:43.120 twenty and Trump twenty sixteen. I mean, this is someone 1:19:43.160 --> 1:19:47.760 who number one, has a very excited core of supporters 1:19:48.320 --> 1:19:50.439 who are not going to abandon him no matter what 1:19:50.600 --> 1:19:52.880 comes out against him, just like just like Trump has 1:19:52.880 --> 1:19:55.600 always had. Trump had a twenty sixteen. Uh, you know, 1:19:55.720 --> 1:19:59.599 he's he's He's But I think the most important thing 1:19:59.640 --> 1:20:02.120 about Bernie that maybe people don't understand is that his 1:20:03.560 --> 1:20:06.360 message is all about moral outrage. You know, that's his 1:20:06.560 --> 1:20:09.120 entire message. It's not an economic message, it's a moral message. 1:20:09.120 --> 1:20:11.280 And he's he's always out there talking about this is wrong, 1:20:11.400 --> 1:20:14.000 you know, income inequality, and people can't get healthcare, and 1:20:14.520 --> 1:20:16.880 kids with their student loan dead, and YadA, YadA, YadA. 1:20:17.320 --> 1:20:20.040 His whole messages this is wrong, it's evil if we 1:20:20.120 --> 1:20:22.880 have to stand against it. And I think his prescriptions 1:20:22.920 --> 1:20:25.679 for these moral problems are completely wrong. But the fact 1:20:25.840 --> 1:20:28.800 is that's how he's he's rallying people, and it's a 1:20:28.880 --> 1:20:31.120 message that does resonate, and it's the same kind of 1:20:31.160 --> 1:20:33.680 message that Trump has always had. Actually, I think the 1:20:33.720 --> 1:20:35.879 Trump is had a message of you know, the elites 1:20:35.920 --> 1:20:38.360 and the swamp and they're taking advantage over the working man. 1:20:38.439 --> 1:20:42.400 And it's a similar kind of message of moral outrage 1:20:42.439 --> 1:20:46.200 about people being taken advantage of. Um, it's gonna be 1:20:46.200 --> 1:20:48.120 a few hundred thousand votes that determine who the next 1:20:48.160 --> 1:20:49.680 president is. I think every needs to remember that too. 1:20:49.720 --> 1:20:51.479 It's it's not going to be like ten million votes 1:20:51.520 --> 1:20:52.560 on one side of the other. It's gonna be a 1:20:52.560 --> 1:20:56.880 few hundred thousand in about half a dozen states, right 1:20:57.040 --> 1:20:58.920 right exactly. So any anything to happening when and when 1:20:58.920 --> 1:21:00.400 you throw just like we saw with Trump, do you 1:21:00.439 --> 1:21:02.680 saw somebody like Trump into the mix. It's really hard 1:21:02.680 --> 1:21:05.160 to predict what's going to happen. And I think it's 1:21:05.200 --> 1:21:07.200 the same thing with Bernie's just all all of the 1:21:07.320 --> 1:21:09.600 normal rules that we that we think we know for 1:21:09.680 --> 1:21:13.479 how politics works, they went out the window with Trump. 1:21:13.760 --> 1:21:15.760 With Trump, maybe they go out the window with Bernie too. 1:21:16.400 --> 1:21:18.559 The book is Church of Cowards, a wake up Call 1:21:18.680 --> 1:21:22.320 to complacent Christians Billable on Amazon Now. Matt Walsh is 1:21:22.320 --> 1:21:25.160 the author of the He's at the Daily Wire before 1:21:25.200 --> 1:21:26.880 we let you go, Matt. One last quick one. The 1:21:26.960 --> 1:21:32.920 Avengers movies amazing or garbage? I have to say, I 1:21:33.000 --> 1:21:37.920 think absolutely garbage. But yeah, I'm weird. Mark eat that. 1:21:38.560 --> 1:21:41.880 He says it's garbage too. And Matt Walsh's a wise man, 1:21:42.000 --> 1:21:43.960 so we can address this with later in roll call 1:21:44.360 --> 1:21:46.160 for producer.

So you know, that's something 1:22:32.600 --> 1:22:34.240 we got going. We got that going for us. Which 1:22:34.280 --> 1:22:37.240 I'll be over here in my little fortress having fun.

I've been having a lot of 1:22:48.760 --> 1:22:50.439 fun with Disney Plus because I got a family member 1:22:50.439 --> 1:22:52.240 of subscription, you know, so you know, I qu as 1:22:52.280 --> 1:22:55.839 one does. And they had the old X Men cartoon 1:22:55.960 --> 1:22:57.680 from way back. Have you ever seen it? There was 1:22:57.680 --> 1:22:59.880 an x Men cartoon from way back in the day, 1:23:00.120 --> 1:23:03.840 like twenty some odd years ago. Um, and you know 1:23:03.920 --> 1:23:05.680 it was pretty good. It's pretty good. I gotta say 1:23:06.200 --> 1:23:08.800 everything on there, well, anything you can imagine is on 1:23:08.880 --> 1:23:12.200 Disney Plus. I mean, I I gotta tell you, I 1:23:12.240 --> 1:23:14.639 don't know if you have real opinions on this. I've 1:23:14.720 --> 1:23:17.400 seen some of the new Disney stuff just out of curiosity. 1:23:17.840 --> 1:23:21.599 And when I say new, I mean the last ten years. Uh. 1:23:21.920 --> 1:23:24.680 It's just not, in my opinion, the same quality as 1:23:24.760 --> 1:23:27.120 some of the original Disney grates. You know, lady in 1:23:27.160 --> 1:23:31.320 the tramp. Uh you know you go into a sort 1:23:31.360 --> 1:23:34.880 in the stone. Uh you know, all the all the 1:23:34.960 --> 1:23:36.960 other snow white, all those things. I think there are 1:23:36.960 --> 1:23:39.720 a different a different quality than and I tried to 1:23:39.760 --> 1:23:42.800 watch I tried to watch Moana. It's not good. Oh 1:23:42.880 --> 1:23:45.960 my wife loves that, really does. I couldn't have the song. 1:23:46.800 --> 1:23:49.479 I couldn't get And I also, I don't know why 1:23:49.960 --> 1:23:53.040 what's up the newest toy story? That was quality? Yeah? 1:23:53.479 --> 1:23:56.479 I also I took I took a date a while 1:23:56.520 --> 1:24:02.040 back to at at the date's request to Frozen the Musical. Yes, 1:24:02.280 --> 1:24:05.280 did you enjoy it? Um? It was a nice date. 1:24:06.160 --> 1:24:10.040 I enjoyed the date. She is lovely the musical. I 1:24:10.160 --> 1:24:13.240 don't even understand what the story is really supposed to be, 1:24:14.520 --> 1:24:16.400 so I haven't watched the car too, but I did 1:24:16.520 --> 1:24:19.800 go to the Broadway show, and it's not clear to 1:24:19.880 --> 1:24:23.840 me exactly. So she like freezes her sister and then 1:24:23.920 --> 1:24:26.720 she goes away because she's afraid that her power of 1:24:26.880 --> 1:24:29.639 freezing will be used too much. And then it turns 1:24:29.640 --> 1:24:31.360 out that her sister is going to marry some bad 1:24:31.479 --> 1:24:33.920 guy and she prevents him from it. I mean, it's 1:24:34.000 --> 1:24:39.360 like it's a mess. Kids love it, love it. I 1:24:39.400 --> 1:24:42.000 do not understand my wife's little cousin maybe three years old, 1:24:42.080 --> 1:24:44.240 only will dress in Frozen out. Yes, I mean, I 1:24:44.280 --> 1:24:46.880 actually think you could argue the best Disney movies. Beauty 1:24:46.920 --> 1:24:49.920 and the Beast is a fantastic movie. I know people say, oh, 1:24:49.960 --> 1:24:51.760 but well that's a great movie. But I almost one 1:24:51.840 --> 1:24:54.080 best picture that was actually the best live action one. 1:24:54.760 --> 1:24:58.559 Oh really didn't seem a really good one with Hermione 1:24:58.720 --> 1:25:01.439 from Yeah, from from her Mary Potter. I mean, Lion 1:25:01.520 --> 1:25:03.160 King's amazing, A Lion King for what it is. I 1:25:03.200 --> 1:25:06.080 think it's a fantastic cartoon. Aladdin, that's actually one of 1:25:06.320 --> 1:25:09.639 Robin Williams rest in Peace, one of his best things. 1:25:09.920 --> 1:25:12.799 I mean, it's certainly up there with like Missus Doubtfire. 1:25:13.240 --> 1:25:16.000 Um so that Disney cartoons have been amazing and these, 1:25:16.200 --> 1:25:18.040 you know, these cultural icons, and I just feel like 1:25:18.120 --> 1:25:20.200 some of the more recent ones. I mean, I know 1:25:20.320 --> 1:25:22.760 kids love Frozen, though I don't know, I still it 1:25:22.840 --> 1:25:25.280 still makes money for these for the company. I still 1:25:25.320 --> 1:25:29.360 don't understand what the yeah anyway, So you know, I 1:25:29.560 --> 1:25:31.080 go around and I'm not going to talk anymore about 1:25:31.080 --> 1:25:32.639 the Mandalorian, but if you haven't seen you haven't seen 1:25:32.640 --> 1:25:34.960 it yet, but I will point out these cartoons, the 1:25:35.080 --> 1:25:37.599 newer ones. They're they're not four year thirty eight year 1:25:37.600 --> 1:25:39.760 old man. No, No, I get that. But see what 1:25:39.800 --> 1:25:42.000 I'm saying though, is I can I can still appreciate 1:25:42.360 --> 1:25:44.559 like Lady in the Tramp even if you're an adult 1:25:44.760 --> 1:25:49.880 is great. It is through your childhood maybe, yeah, like 1:25:50.120 --> 1:25:52.200 you remember it and gives you that warm feeling that 1:25:52.280 --> 1:25:54.920 you're kid, or or you know, Rob the Robin Hood 1:25:54.960 --> 1:25:56.680 with the Robin Hood as a fox and if you know, 1:25:56.760 --> 1:25:58.880 like those are great cartoons are great to this day. 1:25:59.000 --> 1:26:01.360 So I just you know, so that's right. I don't 1:26:01.400 --> 1:26:02.960 have any of the emotional connection. You know, I saw 1:26:03.040 --> 1:26:04.679 like the Lion came with my parents in the theater. 1:26:04.760 --> 1:26:07.519 I remember. So maybe when you have kids you'll get 1:26:07.640 --> 1:26:09.680 that emotional connection back. Well, no, I'll just have to 1:26:09.720 --> 1:26:11.439 sit there and watch the Disney things they want to 1:26:11.479 --> 1:26:14.080 watch for like hours and hours of time, or I'll 1:26:14.080 --> 1:26:15.320 put them in front of it and I'll get to 1:26:15.360 --> 1:26:18.760 like be on my computer trading. You'll he was like, 1:26:18.800 --> 1:26:22.200 oh whatever, let it go, let it go, you know, yeah, 1:26:22.400 --> 1:26:24.479 the whole Yeah, just like that. That's how I'm gonna 1:26:24.520 --> 1:26:26.479 do it. Oh the story I was gonna tell you guys, 1:26:26.880 --> 1:26:29.160 the news stories. That's what're'm talking about. Dis anymore, Um, 1:26:29.520 --> 1:26:33.439 is that the a Court of Let me make sure 1:26:33.439 --> 1:26:35.920 I get this one right. A corn has in fact 1:26:36.040 --> 1:26:42.040 ruled in favor of the administration. This just came down today. Um. 1:26:42.439 --> 1:26:46.200 The Second Circuit has allowed the Justice Department to withhold 1:26:46.360 --> 1:26:50.920 grants from New York City and seven states over sanctuary funding, 1:26:51.880 --> 1:26:56.360 reversing a federal judge's ruling from twenty eighteen. This is big, 1:26:57.280 --> 1:26:59.640 This is big. This is gonna make its way up 1:26:59.680 --> 1:27:02.160 to this court now I think, I mean the Supreme 1:27:02.160 --> 1:27:04.280 Court has to decide to take it. But I could 1:27:04.280 --> 1:27:07.400 see this going all the way because shouldn't the federal 1:27:07.439 --> 1:27:10.960 government if it has a legal request, or if it 1:27:11.040 --> 1:27:14.240 has a legal request of states that it makes and 1:27:14.400 --> 1:27:18.120 it has discretionary funds that it gives them to help 1:27:18.200 --> 1:27:21.519 with that, and then that state or city does not 1:27:22.240 --> 1:27:26.000 provide that assistance, doesn't the federal government as an entity 1:27:26.040 --> 1:27:29.080 then have the ability to pull back those funds. Isn't 1:27:29.120 --> 1:27:32.080 that federalism actually working the way that it's supposed to 1:27:32.320 --> 1:27:34.599 as long as it's tailored in that way. We give 1:27:34.600 --> 1:27:37.080 you law enforcement funds to help us, and we would 1:27:37.120 --> 1:27:38.880 like help on this thing. And it's legal for the 1:27:38.920 --> 1:27:40.960 federal government to ask. This is all about a legal 1:27:41.000 --> 1:27:44.679 immigration now, shouldn't there be the ability for the federal 1:27:44.680 --> 1:27:48.479 government to pull back those funds the fight over sanctuary cities, 1:27:48.960 --> 1:27:51.560 this is you know, the administration should focus in on this. 1:27:51.960 --> 1:27:54.479 There was not a single question and debate last night 1:27:55.000 --> 1:27:57.040 that I can remember, at least, not a single question 1:27:57.080 --> 1:28:02.720 about immigration. Now one it's crazy, not one question about immigration. 1:28:04.320 --> 1:28:06.760 It's nuts. What's when you think? I mean, this is 1:28:06.920 --> 1:28:10.679 seri a huge issue, huge issue for security, for the economy, 1:28:10.760 --> 1:28:13.400 for the future of this country. Everyone's been saying for 1:28:13.560 --> 1:28:15.240 years and years now on both sides, you know, the 1:28:15.280 --> 1:28:17.200 system is broken. We got to fix it, we gotta 1:28:17.240 --> 1:28:20.200 do more. No. Instead, last night it was like a 1:28:21.160 --> 1:28:24.320 bunch of bickering and a wokeness competition at different parts. 1:28:24.400 --> 1:28:27.360 It was really that was really, as we've all agreed, 1:28:27.720 --> 1:28:29.280 who have watched the debate that I've talked to you 1:28:29.400 --> 1:28:32.360 so far, it was a really weak showing. But this 1:28:32.520 --> 1:28:36.040 is something where the administration, I mean, Trump rose to 1:28:36.240 --> 1:28:39.160 prominence in the in the Republican field. He got ahead 1:28:39.280 --> 1:28:44.560 of his competition on the issue of immigration. This is 1:28:44.640 --> 1:28:47.120 where he separated himself and he was willing to say 1:28:47.240 --> 1:28:51.479 the stuff that people needed and wanted to hear about this. 1:28:52.320 --> 1:28:53.639 You know, he was the one who's saying, we used 1:28:53.640 --> 1:28:54.840 to all agree. You know, there used to be this 1:28:54.960 --> 1:28:58.000 consensus on building a wall. There were laws passed by 1:28:58.080 --> 1:29:01.760 Congress about building barriers at the southern border prevented legal entry. 1:29:02.280 --> 1:29:04.400 And now all of a sudden, that's an athema. Now 1:29:04.439 --> 1:29:06.960 that's you know, beyond the pale. You're not allowed to 1:29:07.000 --> 1:29:10.560 have that talk, even you're never mind actually enacted. So 1:29:10.880 --> 1:29:12.760 I'm I'm happy to see that because this is also 1:29:12.760 --> 1:29:15.560 a Bernie Sanders. He's going to lose the left on 1:29:15.600 --> 1:29:18.240 this immigration issue if you push him. He's not. It's 1:29:18.280 --> 1:29:20.320 not really clear where he stands in immigration because it 1:29:20.400 --> 1:29:23.920 conflicts with his his workers. You know, workers of the 1:29:23.960 --> 1:29:26.680 world unite the word I guess workers of America unite thing. 1:29:27.120 --> 1:29:28.760 So this will be interesting to see this play out. 1:29:29.400 --> 1:29:32.839 Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcast. Remember 1:29:32.920 --> 1:29:36.200 to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeart Radio app, or 1:29:36.280 --> 1:29:48.760 wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, team Buck, it's time 1:29:48.800 --> 1:29:56.680 for roll call. We got dubstep roll Call intro, and 1:29:56.720 --> 1:29:59.360 I feel like dubstep has has faded out again. You know, 1:29:59.439 --> 1:30:03.200 every it's like every ten years people rediscover some form 1:30:03.240 --> 1:30:06.040 of you know what they call EDM electronic dance music, 1:30:06.479 --> 1:30:12.519 which I think technically is dubstep. Dubstep is right, it's 1:30:12.560 --> 1:30:16.680 like a subcategory DM. It's like communism is a subcategory 1:30:16.720 --> 1:30:20.120 of socialism. Jubstep is a subcategory of the DA. Same 1:30:20.200 --> 1:30:22.120 exact thing, right, same same thing. It's not how I 1:30:22.200 --> 1:30:24.400 think about things, um, but yeah, like I don't see 1:30:24.439 --> 1:30:26.400 that guy's scrillics anymore with the weird haircut and the 1:30:26.400 --> 1:30:28.599 cigarette angling. And I'm sure you're still around. Yeah, I'm 1:30:28.640 --> 1:30:30.960 probably making like a million dollars a night djaying for 1:30:31.160 --> 1:30:33.960 you know people all over like Austria, Like, yeah, play 1:30:34.080 --> 1:30:37.240 more of the indiam music. Yeah, I think the Chain 1:30:37.320 --> 1:30:40.479 Smokers have taken This is the best point of my life. Wait, 1:30:40.640 --> 1:30:43.240 the Chain Smokers, the band. Yeah, they're like they do 1:30:43.360 --> 1:30:45.800 remixes of songs and they always like collaborate. That's what 1:30:45.880 --> 1:30:48.960 they about, to collaborate with other artists. I had. I've 1:30:49.040 --> 1:30:51.320 had this experience now where I went back because Spotify, 1:30:51.439 --> 1:30:53.320 which is incredible, and actually, you know, I'm on Spotify 1:30:53.400 --> 1:30:55.200 because people from Team Buck made fun of me for 1:30:55.320 --> 1:30:57.960 using Pandora, still saying that I'm a grumpy old man, 1:30:57.960 --> 1:31:02.439 I shouldn't use Pandora. Pandora's for like gen X, not 1:31:02.640 --> 1:31:05.280 quite millennials, right, but in between boomers. And so if 1:31:05.280 --> 1:31:07.479 you're born in like the mid late seventies, you're a 1:31:07.560 --> 1:31:10.439 Pandora user. If you're born in the eighties, you're supposed 1:31:10.439 --> 1:31:14.160 to be on Team Spotify. Yeah, and I don't. I'm 1:31:14.200 --> 1:31:16.080 on Apple Music. I get it for free through my 1:31:16.160 --> 1:31:19.240 cell phone. Yeah. Okay, so there. But I went back 1:31:19.280 --> 1:31:22.400 and looked at at all the top songs. It's they're 1:31:22.479 --> 1:31:24.560 not the stuff for the last ten ten years. No 1:31:24.640 --> 1:31:26.760 one's gonna be listening to in ten years. So when 1:31:26.800 --> 1:31:28.720 our parents, as much as I, as much as I 1:31:28.760 --> 1:31:31.000 feel like boomers, love to shove their music down the 1:31:31.120 --> 1:31:33.800 world's throat, you know, every car commercial, it's got to 1:31:33.840 --> 1:31:36.519 be like a rolling Stone song or you know whatever. 1:31:38.280 --> 1:31:40.439 The truth is that that music is timeless in a 1:31:40.520 --> 1:31:42.000 way that a lot of the stuff from the last 1:31:42.000 --> 1:31:43.640 ten or fifteen years I don't think will be. I 1:31:43.720 --> 1:31:46.880 think certain artists will be like Adele, you can throw 1:31:46.920 --> 1:31:50.280 out there a lady Gaga, maybe justin Timberlake. It's even 1:31:50.439 --> 1:31:54.160 like that. It's but it's a small subset of the overall. 1:31:54.760 --> 1:31:57.320 Whereas you know, if you put on there's there's a 1:31:57.320 --> 1:31:58.960 lot of times now I'll put on a song that 1:31:59.280 --> 1:32:01.320 is even an artist that people don't even really remember 1:32:01.360 --> 1:32:02.639 all that well. I mean, I think this is true 1:32:02.640 --> 1:32:04.599 of eighties music. For example, if you like eighties music, 1:32:04.640 --> 1:32:06.800 there's so many different songs and bands you can put 1:32:06.880 --> 1:32:08.200 on that even if you don't know what it is, 1:32:08.240 --> 1:32:09.360 you're like, I like this. There's a lot of one 1:32:09.439 --> 1:32:11.400 hit wonders in the eighties, Oh for sure. Yeah, they 1:32:11.479 --> 1:32:13.240 look at eighties was kind of a funky time. But 1:32:13.479 --> 1:32:16.200 I just scrill x stub step. I remember that that 1:32:16.360 --> 1:32:18.599 was a huge for a little while, maybe ten years ago. 1:32:18.640 --> 1:32:20.759 And now that type of music, the remixes of actual 1:32:20.800 --> 1:32:22.760 songs is great for when you're working out. Yeah, that's 1:32:22.840 --> 1:32:24.759 that's true. Actually, you know, you know what my favorite 1:32:24.760 --> 1:32:27.519 band all time for working out is actually and their 1:32:27.560 --> 1:32:31.000 politics are horrible. They're they're like actual communists. I'm sure 1:32:31.040 --> 1:32:34.679 they're all millionaires, just like Sanders. Rage against the machine. 1:32:35.479 --> 1:32:37.479 If you're working out, rage against the machine gets it, 1:32:37.640 --> 1:32:40.000 gets it done. That's a completely different category of music. 1:32:40.479 --> 1:32:42.680 Oh yeah, it's like headbanging. Oh yeah, No, that's like 1:32:42.840 --> 1:32:44.320 that's like heavy. I mean I think it's I think 1:32:44.320 --> 1:32:46.479 it's considered heavy. Mat Yeah. I don't think I can 1:32:46.560 --> 1:32:49.479 work out to that. No, but it's really Yeah, some 1:32:49.600 --> 1:32:51.880 of them out, We'll wick. I have a beast Mode 1:32:51.920 --> 1:32:54.320 playlist on Spotify share with you. I'll have to get 1:32:54.360 --> 1:32:56.560 It's got two hundred songs. Man. Wow, I keep it 1:32:56.640 --> 1:32:59.120 fired up in the hut. All right, now, we got 1:32:59.240 --> 1:33:00.720 roll call, we got some of the folks. They've got 1:33:00.800 --> 1:33:04.160 thoughts and things for us, and we appreciate that. Oh 1:33:04.320 --> 1:33:08.000 but when one quick programming note. I will have my 1:33:08.080 --> 1:33:10.200 friend Ben Winegarten in on the show on Friday because 1:33:10.240 --> 1:33:13.200 I have to travel to la to be on the 1:33:13.280 --> 1:33:15.439 Bill Mar Show, which I will be doing this Friday night. 1:33:15.520 --> 1:33:18.639 It is ten eastern on HBO. I believe ten eastern, 1:33:18.760 --> 1:33:21.840 might be nine eastern. I think it's ten eastern. And 1:33:22.680 --> 1:33:25.719 it'll be interesting. It's going to be a spicy time, 1:33:25.840 --> 1:33:28.639 a spicy I meet the ball to be a spicy 1:33:28.680 --> 1:33:30.880 time to be on the Bill Mar Show. So I'm 1:33:31.080 --> 1:33:34.080 looking forward to that. No surprise here, I will be 1:33:34.120 --> 1:33:37.560 the only conservative on the show that night, and that 1:33:37.800 --> 1:33:42.680 audience is not going to be super psyched about what 1:33:42.680 --> 1:33:46.920 I have to say. But you team are the ones 1:33:46.960 --> 1:33:49.479 that I'm speaking to when I do that show, as 1:33:49.520 --> 1:33:53.800 well as triggering literally millions of libs, so that will 1:33:53.840 --> 1:33:55.840 be fun too. But if you get a chance to 1:33:56.000 --> 1:33:57.240 tune in, I'd like to know that the team is 1:33:57.280 --> 1:33:59.640 watching and rooting for me and say nice things to 1:33:59.680 --> 1:34:02.559 me on two afterwards, because man, my twitter mentions after 1:34:02.600 --> 1:34:06.760 I do that show terrifying. The libs come after me 1:34:07.120 --> 1:34:10.840 like like a plague of lib locusts, like a bunch 1:34:11.000 --> 1:34:14.600 of angry progressive piranhas. Look at this a literation I 1:34:14.640 --> 1:34:17.880 pull off? Yeah my popcorn ready, Yeah, that's roping Friday. Yeah, 1:34:18.160 --> 1:34:20.559 preducer Marx, You're like a look at him because when 1:34:20.600 --> 1:34:24.000 I go there, boom love, audience gonna boom me. I 1:34:24.080 --> 1:34:27.439 can read out the best tweets on me him. We 1:34:27.520 --> 1:34:29.720 could do it, oh after the Bill Marshall, we could 1:34:29.720 --> 1:34:33.439 definitely do a mean tweet session for sure. We'd have 1:34:33.479 --> 1:34:35.320 to get out the bleep button though. All Right, Kyle 1:34:35.479 --> 1:34:37.479 is first up here in roll Call. Hey Buck, you 1:34:37.560 --> 1:34:41.080 have an awesome show. Thank you, Kyle. You a fantastic taste. 1:34:41.080 --> 1:34:43.200 I think all the political speculation that Bernie has the 1:34:43.240 --> 1:34:45.759 best shot of getting beaten by Trump is not correct. 1:34:46.720 --> 1:34:49.160 I believe Bernie has the best shot out of all 1:34:49.200 --> 1:34:52.360 the Democrats to win the presidency. The reason I say 1:34:52.439 --> 1:34:55.400 that is if Bernie gets screwed out of this nomination, 1:34:55.960 --> 1:34:59.640 Bernie bros. Won't vote for the Democratic nominee. They may 1:34:59.640 --> 1:35:01.799 actually if you vote for Trump to send a message. 1:35:02.080 --> 1:35:05.040 There's a decent amount of evidence to support that theory. 1:35:05.640 --> 1:35:08.559 On the other hand, the rest of the Democrat voters 1:35:08.640 --> 1:35:11.800 would vote for Bernie because it's someone opposing Trump. I 1:35:11.880 --> 1:35:15.400 don't like how the Republicans have been underestimating Bernie. That's 1:35:15.439 --> 1:35:17.479 what the Libs did to Trump, and we all know 1:35:17.720 --> 1:35:20.360 how that went. You and a few others are the 1:35:20.520 --> 1:35:22.439 only ones I hear not saying to write him off 1:35:22.479 --> 1:35:25.080 and to take him seriously. We won't lose if we 1:35:25.160 --> 1:35:26.800 get out and vote, but we are if we are 1:35:26.920 --> 1:35:31.360 overconfident in a victory, we will have a socialist in office. 1:35:31.360 --> 1:35:35.240 You're the man, buck Shields High. Thank you, Kyle. Yeah, look, 1:35:35.240 --> 1:35:38.840 I take Bernie. I take Bernie very seriously. I'm not 1:35:38.880 --> 1:35:41.760 write him off at all. I think that if there's 1:35:41.800 --> 1:35:44.400 any lesson from twenty sixteen we have to learn, it's 1:35:44.840 --> 1:35:49.640 the media doesn't know squat and American politics is a 1:35:49.760 --> 1:35:52.240 very different game than we had thought before. And you know, 1:35:52.520 --> 1:35:56.599 in this this new media environment, meaning social media, digital media, 1:35:56.920 --> 1:36:00.000 it's just ever the game has changed. The game has changed, 1:36:00.280 --> 1:36:03.840 and Bernie Sanders is an outsider at a time when 1:36:03.880 --> 1:36:10.120 it feels like outsiders are able to pull off things 1:36:10.200 --> 1:36:12.639 that completely fly in the face of the conventional wisdom. 1:36:13.560 --> 1:36:16.040 See Donald Trump, right, I mean this is this is 1:36:16.120 --> 1:36:20.439 pretty self evident. So yeah, I take them very seriously. 1:36:20.520 --> 1:36:22.120 I don't know if Bernie voters, I mean, this is 1:36:22.160 --> 1:36:23.920 what you're really getting at. I don't know if Bernie 1:36:24.040 --> 1:36:28.240 voters would really refuse to support the Democrat nominee or not. 1:36:28.560 --> 1:36:31.719 It's possible you could be right on that. I think 1:36:31.880 --> 1:36:36.800 that it really is going to depend on what happens here. 1:36:37.360 --> 1:36:41.840 If someone were able to really legitimately surge, and I 1:36:41.920 --> 1:36:43.920 don't even know how that would be possible at this point. 1:36:43.960 --> 1:36:47.040 But like, let's say Biden. Let's say Biden managed to 1:36:47.120 --> 1:36:50.439 run the table and the contest and there wasn't some 1:36:50.720 --> 1:36:54.560 real theory about you know, moutheasons from the DNC. You know, 1:36:54.640 --> 1:36:57.439 there's not super delegates or something like that. I think 1:36:57.479 --> 1:36:59.599 Bernie voters would would probably go and vote for Biden 1:36:59.600 --> 1:37:03.760 because they hate Trump so much. Yeah, I do, But 1:37:03.880 --> 1:37:06.200 who knows. You know, we're all just guessing because we're 1:37:06.240 --> 1:37:10.880 talking about assessing trends that involve millions and millions and 1:37:10.960 --> 1:37:14.639 millions of individual decisions, and it's very it's very tough 1:37:14.680 --> 1:37:18.679 for anybody to get that right ahead of time. Everybody 1:37:18.720 --> 1:37:21.439 in the political prediction game needs to maintain a healthy, 1:37:22.479 --> 1:37:27.760 healthy dose of humility. Peter writes, Ron Konkoma does have 1:37:27.880 --> 1:37:31.960 a beach. It's around the lake. It's okay, nothing special. 1:37:32.439 --> 1:37:35.559 Most people go to Fire Island or Robert Moses. It's 1:37:35.560 --> 1:37:37.360 one of the few things I miss about Long Island. 1:37:37.640 --> 1:37:41.040 Here in Kingston. There isn't much beach wise. Long Island 1:37:41.120 --> 1:37:44.639 is an overpopulated nightmare waiting to happen. Anywhen they're after 1:37:44.720 --> 1:37:47.519 Superstorm Sandy knows it's a ticking time bomb. Ultimately, I 1:37:47.600 --> 1:37:50.080 went out of New York probably Pennsylvania. By mid twenty 1:37:50.160 --> 1:37:52.599 twenty one. Producer Mark what say you about this Long Island? 1:37:52.600 --> 1:37:56.960 Assess Long Island's awful really highest taxes in the entire country. 1:37:57.120 --> 1:38:00.679 And that's on Suffolk. Wow, between property axes and income 1:38:00.720 --> 1:38:03.800 tax all that, yeah high, it's overcrowded. The Long Alan 1:38:03.840 --> 1:38:06.960 Railroad is an abomination. It's off a place. What do 1:38:06.960 --> 1:38:09.280 you think I'm getting out? Yeah, I could never like 1:38:09.439 --> 1:38:12.200 raise a family there. Wow. Well I do know that 1:38:13.280 --> 1:38:15.439 getting a police so I know this because when I 1:38:15.520 --> 1:38:17.439 was in the MYPD and the cops would often talk 1:38:17.479 --> 1:38:21.320 about how like getting a job as a law enforcement 1:38:21.360 --> 1:38:24.200 all as a cop in Nassau County, I think just 1:38:24.479 --> 1:38:27.800 the average starting salary is like one hundred and twenty grand, 1:38:28.120 --> 1:38:31.120 and so becoming a police officer there, your your chance 1:38:31.280 --> 1:38:34.800 is like per application is like point oh one or something, 1:38:35.080 --> 1:38:37.800 and it's it's like impossible because because they're so highly paid, 1:38:37.840 --> 1:38:39.559 and the tax base has to be super high obviously 1:38:39.600 --> 1:38:41.439 to do that, no matter what they make, you redo 1:38:41.520 --> 1:38:43.800 the academy. I know somebody who was MYPD and was 1:38:43.880 --> 1:38:46.880 looking to maybe go to Nasar Suffolk. He wouldn't just 1:38:47.040 --> 1:38:49.679 join the force like in any other force in the country. 1:38:49.920 --> 1:38:51.720 You have to re goo to the academy. Even though 1:38:51.840 --> 1:38:53.680 MYPD is probably the best to cap and you've heard 1:38:53.680 --> 1:38:55.160 that too, that they're super they're very high, like for 1:38:55.240 --> 1:38:56.720 what that said, very high salary. I think they have 1:38:56.760 --> 1:38:59.439 the highest starting laws. Can not have a high salary 1:38:59.600 --> 1:39:02.599 with those of those taxes and the property taxes. Yeah yeah, 1:39:02.800 --> 1:39:05.439 class of livings ridiculous online. Actually I went to so 1:39:05.520 --> 1:39:09.679 I was supposed to go to a big party for charity. 1:39:09.720 --> 1:39:13.000 I'll never forget this that a very very good friend 1:39:13.000 --> 1:39:16.120 of mine was throwing out in Suffolk County and the venue, 1:39:16.560 --> 1:39:18.599 which was like a party venue that you could rest 1:39:18.600 --> 1:39:20.479 sort of like for weddings or whatever. The venue got 1:39:20.520 --> 1:39:24.240 shut down the day before because the venue didn't think 1:39:24.320 --> 1:39:27.000 that they for whatever reason, they didn't think that they 1:39:27.080 --> 1:39:31.280 had to pay the local Suffolk you know, the there's 1:39:31.320 --> 1:39:34.519 like a liquor fee that you pay for the town 1:39:35.080 --> 1:39:37.000 that they didn't think they oh it's a private thing. 1:39:37.040 --> 1:39:39.160 But no, no, no, no, no, and noose Suffolk cops 1:39:39.160 --> 1:39:42.160 showed up and they were like, no, charity party, we 1:39:42.760 --> 1:39:46.560 care you pay the tax my man, there's fee or 1:39:46.560 --> 1:39:49.519 a tax fee everything. Yeah, they didn't pay the like 1:39:50.040 --> 1:39:52.080 public liquor you know, it wasn't it wasn't a liquor 1:39:52.120 --> 1:39:54.240 license because they weren't selling it. But if you're gonna 1:39:54.280 --> 1:39:56.000 have a large enough gathering. You have to have some 1:39:56.560 --> 1:39:58.800 almost like a keg fee or something like that, and 1:39:58.920 --> 1:40:00.720 you have to go to the pillow local PD and 1:40:00.760 --> 1:40:03.080 you have to get it. They didn't get it. Party canceled, 1:40:03.439 --> 1:40:05.800 canceled because of this that I was like, Wow, these 1:40:05.840 --> 1:40:08.840 suffic cops, these guys don't mess around nickel and dime. 1:40:08.880 --> 1:40:11.559 You first last year, I needed the inspection. You don't 1:40:11.560 --> 1:40:13.040 have to get an inspection on your car every year. 1:40:14.120 --> 1:40:16.960 I guess it expired the day before. Immediately got a ticket. 1:40:17.040 --> 1:40:20.240 I've been out to I've been out to East Hampton 1:40:20.479 --> 1:40:22.840 and Southampton a few times in the last i'd say 1:40:22.920 --> 1:40:25.000 decade or so. I'll never forget. I was out and 1:40:25.000 --> 1:40:28.240 I was driving like a rental car in Southampton and 1:40:28.360 --> 1:40:30.280 I did like a three point turn on a street 1:40:30.320 --> 1:40:32.679 that I'm telling you there were no cars, no people, 1:40:32.760 --> 1:40:37.479 know nothing, and and the cop who was on foot 1:40:37.560 --> 1:40:40.360 like waved me over and I sort of like drove up. 1:40:40.360 --> 1:40:42.760 I'm like, yeah, like there's nothing like I was. It 1:40:42.840 --> 1:40:44.479 was the middle of the day. There's only there. There 1:40:44.560 --> 1:40:46.160 was a lady cop and she's just like, look like, 1:40:46.280 --> 1:40:48.840 I'm gonna let this go. But you just broke a 1:40:48.920 --> 1:40:51.120 double line by doing that and like, I could I 1:40:51.200 --> 1:40:52.640 think she said it was like a two hundred and 1:40:52.640 --> 1:40:55.160 seventy five dollars five And I looked at her. I 1:40:55.280 --> 1:40:57.320 was like, I was like you you're like are you 1:40:57.760 --> 1:40:59.800 in what what universe? Could this be there? She's like, no, no, 1:41:00.040 --> 1:41:01.120 let it go this time. And I was like, you're 1:41:01.439 --> 1:41:03.640 you guys would honestly, but it's because I had. You know, 1:41:03.920 --> 1:41:06.599 is a rental rental plate I'm a weekend or I'm 1:41:06.640 --> 1:41:08.559 just there visiting friends or something, they don't care. They 1:41:08.640 --> 1:41:12.400 will rinse you. You could be a resident, they would 1:41:12.439 --> 1:41:13.960 do that to you. Oh yeah, no, of course a 1:41:14.040 --> 1:41:16.920 rental if you're if you're a year rounder, it's different. Yeah. 1:41:17.000 --> 1:41:18.599 I know this because I actually dated a girl who 1:41:18.600 --> 1:41:20.160 lived on Martha's Vineyard and I was with her in 1:41:20.240 --> 1:41:22.840 the car when a cop pulled her over for actually speeding. 1:41:23.120 --> 1:41:24.479 And he's like, oh, it's like, how's your dead? Dan? 1:41:24.720 --> 1:41:26.400 You know, like like you're right, Like if you're a 1:41:26.520 --> 1:41:28.840 towny in these towns, you go right away. If you're 1:41:28.880 --> 1:41:31.880 a summer person, they oh, man, they turn you upside 1:41:31.920 --> 1:41:33.920 down and they they empty out your pockets. Do you 1:41:33.960 --> 1:41:36.120 know how much a red light ticket is in Nassa County. 1:41:36.240 --> 1:41:38.840 How much one hundred and fifty dollars. Let's see, this 1:41:38.880 --> 1:41:41.920 is what I mean. It's just crazy. Yeah, they just 1:41:42.000 --> 1:41:43.559 take you this, take you to the cleaners man, that's 1:41:43.600 --> 1:41:48.280 what they do. Anyway. All Strong Island there, you've never 1:41:48.320 --> 1:41:50.280 been out there, there aren't I mean, there are beautiful beaches, 1:41:50.280 --> 1:41:52.400 that's why people pay. A beautiful place, but you have 1:41:52.520 --> 1:41:54.439 to pay to bin. It's a little bit. It starts 1:41:54.439 --> 1:41:56.080 to feel a little bit sound a little like California. 1:41:56.160 --> 1:41:58.760 Too much traffic, too expensive, you know, by the coast. 1:41:58.800 --> 1:42:02.280 That's what's going on in California. To Greg Buck, I 1:42:02.400 --> 1:42:04.240 know I always write in well Greg, we love it, 1:42:04.479 --> 1:42:06.679 but I become a bigger and bigger fan every single 1:42:06.760 --> 1:42:09.559 day I listen to you. Never has common sense been 1:42:09.640 --> 1:42:12.400 such so widely spoken. On another note, I think the 1:42:12.439 --> 1:42:15.120 Republican Party should rename itself the Freedom Party. I think 1:42:15.160 --> 1:42:16.720 that would resonate it a lot better with voters. Just 1:42:16.800 --> 1:42:18.519 an idea of shield time. Well, Greg, thank you for 1:42:18.560 --> 1:42:20.640 the kind words about the show, and that's really an 1:42:20.760 --> 1:42:22.439 endorsement of what we do here that you feel like 1:42:22.520 --> 1:42:24.880 every day the show gets better and better. So thank 1:42:24.920 --> 1:42:30.760 you so much for that and we appreciate it. You're 1:42:30.840 --> 1:42:33.519 in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex and 1:42:33.600 --> 1:42:42.200 Show podcast, Rick Right, Hi Bucking producer Mark Love. The 1:42:42.240 --> 1:42:47.680 show volunteering. Volunteering for military service offers solutions to many 1:42:47.720 --> 1:42:50.040 of what Bernie views as problems in our country today. 1:42:50.200 --> 1:42:53.240 Free clothes, free food, free place to live, regular promotions 1:42:53.240 --> 1:42:56.599 and pay increase simply for doing your job, weekends off, 1:42:56.680 --> 1:42:59.240 opportunities to travel on the job experience from day one. 1:42:59.680 --> 1:43:02.840 Twenty years of service will generate a military pension for 1:43:02.920 --> 1:43:05.720 a lifetime. He can't do this anywhere else, just saying, 1:43:05.760 --> 1:43:08.840 Shields High Brothers. Well, Rick, I'm assuming you are veteran. 1:43:08.880 --> 1:43:11.360 It sounds like you are based on your description here, 1:43:11.920 --> 1:43:15.040 and yeah, obviously that's you know, serving your country is 1:43:15.080 --> 1:43:19.040 certainly a honorable and fantastic option for a lot of 1:43:19.080 --> 1:43:22.840 people that want to do it. I think we all 1:43:22.880 --> 1:43:24.720 know Bernie Sanders was not about the He was not 1:43:24.840 --> 1:43:29.160 interested in signing up at any point. Jeffrey Buck, there 1:43:29.240 --> 1:43:33.559 are twenty three movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for reels. 1:43:34.120 --> 1:43:36.320 I'm a fan that's been with you since the Real newsdays. 1:43:36.439 --> 1:43:39.639 Shields High, Well, thank you so much, Jeffrey twenty three 1:43:39.800 --> 1:43:41.600 movies in the Marvel cinemat. Yeah, I was trying not 1:43:41.680 --> 1:43:44.439 to tell you how many there actually were. That's a ton. Yeah. 1:43:44.640 --> 1:43:46.240 I didn't know his ant Man as one of them, 1:43:46.240 --> 1:43:48.080 by the way I saw this, and the guy from 1:43:48.160 --> 1:43:51.040 Clueless is now a superhero. Yeah, an Man's one of 1:43:51.040 --> 1:43:53.880 the funniest and he's a good It's great. Yeah, both 1:43:53.920 --> 1:43:56.320 han Man and then ant Man in the Wasp. I 1:43:56.800 --> 1:43:58.439 didn't even know this is a thing. Yeah, yeah, I 1:43:58.479 --> 1:44:00.840 gotta learn more about this. I also though I was 1:44:00.960 --> 1:44:04.639 not a Black Panther fan at all as a movie, 1:44:04.760 --> 1:44:07.600 because I've probably looked at him with politics classes all. No, 1:44:07.720 --> 1:44:10.599 I I nope, that's not fair. Like I will say 1:44:10.640 --> 1:44:13.840 The Motorcycle Diaries, which is about the rise of che 1:44:13.960 --> 1:44:17.679 Guvara Ernesto Gavara. People call him Chay, which means dude. 1:44:18.479 --> 1:44:22.559 Motorcycle Diaries a really compelling movie. It's also turns che Guvara, 1:44:22.600 --> 1:44:24.680 who's a monster, into like a Jesus figure basically, like 1:44:24.720 --> 1:44:26.160 he's like just wants to heal the sick and help 1:44:26.200 --> 1:44:29.360 the poor and everything else. Good movie, horrible politics. I 1:44:29.479 --> 1:44:31.560 just didn't think, I mean Black Panther. The society is 1:44:31.600 --> 1:44:33.360 more advanced than any other society in the world. They 1:44:33.360 --> 1:44:36.240 have like special technology doesn't exist anywhere else, but they 1:44:36.360 --> 1:44:39.280 choose the leader by having like a blood sport deathmatch. 1:44:39.880 --> 1:44:41.600 Doesn't seem to add up. It's supposed to be like 1:44:41.720 --> 1:44:43.960 old tribal ways. Yeah, but but I mean, if you 1:44:44.040 --> 1:44:46.320 got the most advanced technology in the world, like, wouldn't 1:44:46.320 --> 1:44:47.200 you know what I mean? I don't know. I was 1:44:47.200 --> 1:44:48.640 a little I just thought it seemed a little bit 1:44:48.640 --> 1:44:51.080 strange to me. And also the thing with the rhinos 1:44:51.080 --> 1:44:53.400 at the end, where like there's the cgi rhinos running 1:44:53.400 --> 1:44:55.519 over people. I wasn't into it. I'm just saying. I 1:44:55.600 --> 1:44:57.760 know everyone's supposed to love the movie Black Panther. To me, 1:44:57.920 --> 1:45:00.160 there were some cool parts. I mean, I thought one 1:45:00.240 --> 1:45:02.759 was pretty good. But I don't know, I know, I'm 1:45:03.000 --> 1:45:04.800 what can I say, folks, I just don't understand you. 1:45:04.920 --> 1:45:07.200 I know it doesn't make sense to a lot of people. 1:45:07.720 --> 1:45:10.720 Mark writes in this is just the name thing. I 1:45:10.840 --> 1:45:13.320 have to agree with Mark, of course on the Avengers 1:45:13.680 --> 1:45:15.400 Endgame is only one of a series I had. It 1:45:15.520 --> 1:45:16.960 is the only one of the series I had any 1:45:17.040 --> 1:45:19.200 emotional response to love. The show is always all right? 1:45:19.240 --> 1:45:22.000 Another another like vote for producer marks analysis on this 1:45:22.080 --> 1:45:25.080 one but comes from this, isn't you right? No writing 1:45:25.160 --> 1:45:28.160 in yourself? Yeah you got You gotta keep an eye 1:45:28.200 --> 1:45:30.280 on this guy. Like I said, I'm gonna go back 1:45:30.479 --> 1:45:34.120 and check it out. Scott writes, Hey, Buck, Bernie's saying 1:45:34.160 --> 1:45:36.960 Castro isn't all that bad because he instituted a literacy 1:45:37.040 --> 1:45:40.519 program is like praising Hitler for always paying the gas bill. 1:45:41.120 --> 1:45:45.680 Gloves off shields high, Scott, you said it, man. I 1:45:45.680 --> 1:45:47.439 don't know why Bernie feels a need to do that, 1:45:47.640 --> 1:45:51.880 but he's you know, it's not helping himself. It's not 1:45:51.960 --> 1:45:56.400 the right thing to do. Richard. My wife is a teacher, 1:45:56.479 --> 1:45:58.320 so she would drag me along the judge high school 1:45:58.320 --> 1:46:01.439 debate tournaments. That is what love is. Those high schoolers 1:46:01.479 --> 1:46:04.400 behave better than these candidates and could moderate a debate 1:46:04.479 --> 1:46:07.840 better than CBS did. Did you catch where Bloomberg slipped 1:46:07.880 --> 1:46:09.519 up and said he bought the forty reps who took 1:46:09.560 --> 1:46:12.040 the house. That is Bloomberg. He thinks he can just 1:46:12.160 --> 1:46:14.599 buy the election. And this whole wealth tax thing, it's 1:46:14.600 --> 1:46:16.960 only going to be two percent at first. The income 1:46:17.000 --> 1:46:19.200 tax is only one percent at first.
