WEBVTT - Barbaric Democrats Pushing Infanticide 0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:16.840 You are entering the freedom hunt. The left has gone mad. 0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:21.400 They are now supporting an abortion bill in Virginia that 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:26.000 is nothing short of infanticide. We have to confront this 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:29.160 evil head on. We'll talk about that and then move 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:33.400 into a discussion of socialism and single payer healthcare. The 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:37.440 Democrats are embracing both ideas. We have to fight back 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:41.720 and win. That's all coming up. This is the Buck 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:45.080 Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:51.320 what really matters with actionable intelligence, Make no mistake America 0:00:52.360 --> 0:01:03.520 American again. The Buck Sexton Show begins. Analysts, now, welcome 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.560 to the Buck sex And Show everybody. A lot of 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:08.720 a lot of things. That covered a lot of policy 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:12.360 to discuss. We will get into the latest on the 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.720 immigration debate. It was very gratified to see that the 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:19.559 President shared my editorial from the Hill earlier this week 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:23.160 on immigration and talking about the the scams and the 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:28.480 dishonesty around the asylum process, the need for a border wall, 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:32.000 the crisis at the border. So word word is getting 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:33.720 out and if you haven't read that piece, I think 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.440 it's worth it's worth your time. And I was very 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.120 I was very pleased that the President was very gratifying. 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.520 The President of the White House official Twitter accounts both 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:49.160 shared it. We'll also discuss socialism and this this huge, 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:54.640 huge fight that's coming over Medicare for all, which is 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:58.240 going to be the central promise other than anti Trump 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.760 is m and getting rid of Trump. Promise of the 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.200 Democrats in twenty twenty is going to be Medicare for all. 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.160 It was originally healthcare coverage for everybody. Now it's just 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:09.280 going to be healthcare for everybody that somebody else will 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:14.320 pay for. This is disastrous on a number of levels, 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.880 but it is a very real threat. I do think 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:21.799 a lot of the conservatives out there think that we 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.440 can just say, haha, socialism, socialism stinks, nobody wants it, 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.400 and that will be sufficient. It will not be sufficient. 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:32.639 The polls are showing, the conversations are shifting. People are 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:36.760 fed up with what is a lot of government intrusion 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.160 and distortion in the healthcare market to begin with, and 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:45.359 then there's this impulse to just say, fine, let's just 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.720 have the government charge of all of it. And this 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:51.520 all along was why Obamacare was meant to put us 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:54.239 in this position. All along, this was the goal. We 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.680 knew it. We weren't able to stop them. We're going 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.280 to have to win on the battlefield of ideas. Going 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.320 ahead on this or else. You're just gonna wait, you know, 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.560 eighteen months for the for the hip replacement you need. 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.679 You're gonna wait eight weeks to see a specialist for 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.519 a you know, whatever, whatever infection or problem you have. 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:12.080 And it's not going to be a very good doctor. 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.720 You can see whoever they, whoever they the government tells 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:19.200 you to see. That's going to be the reality. But 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:23.040 I wanted to start with something else today. This is 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.360 this is one of those topics where I feel an 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.799 obligation to talk about it, even though I know that 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.200 it's not necessarily a subject matter that after a long 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:33.960 day at the office, a lot of people are gonna 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.400 want to dive into and hear about it. And I 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:40.240 understand that, and look, you know, I do the best 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.000 that I can every single day to make sure that 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.440 I make maximum usage of our time together. I spend 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.800 my whole day preparing for these hours that I get 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:51.400 with all of you. And so some days the topics 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:55.480 are going to be hard, hard to talk about it, 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:57.400 I'm sure hard to listen to. And today is one 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:01.720 of those days we are confronting evil in this country. Now, 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:07.600 as a matter of partisan policy, the Democratic Party has 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:15.160 openly embraced evil. I'm not saying, you know, they're they're 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.160 making bad decisions on some matter of economic policy. I'm 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:22.560 not I'm saying that they have now crossed over into open, 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:30.600 clear immorality. Democrats have legalized infanticide. That is not an overstatement. 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:35.800 That is a straightforward understanding, a straightforward application of the 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.240 laws that they are supporting, first in the state of 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.720 in the state of New York, and then today we 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:48.840 find out more in the state of Virginia. This cannot 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:53.920 be allowed to stand. This cannot continue. This is a 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.640 stain on this country. It is the single greatest moral 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:04.760 stain on this country. Today you have Governor Ralph Northam 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.080 of Virginia who was on a radio show today and 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:13.080 it was one of the more chilling interviews of any 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.480 kind I have ever heard. I mean, I'm somebody who, 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:22.360 in his professional capacity as a counter terrorism analyst, used 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:26.960 to have to listen, to watch and see some pretty 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.800 terrible things. When you're dealing in the world of al 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:35.240 Qaida and al Qaida and Iraq and different terrorist groups, 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:39.200 you see and hear horrible things that happened that are 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.680 happening to people, that have happened to people, and you 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:45.360 see the aftermath of different strikes, of ied strikes, and 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:53.200 you know, it's it's stuff that stays with you. This conversation, casual, calm, 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:57.000 conversation that the Governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam, had on 0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:02.640 this radio show today is it's the kind of discussion 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.760 that I think many of you will remember for quite 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:09.720 a while afterwards, not because of the energy or the 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:14.520 there was nothing profound. It's actually the finality of evil. 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:21.920 For your ears, play clip nine. There was a very 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.640 contentious committee hearing yesterday when Fairfax County Delicate Cathy Tran 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.760 made her case for lifting restrictions on third trimester abortions 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.040 as well as other restrictions now in place. And she 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:35.200 was pressed by a Republican delegate about whether her bill 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.400 would permit an abortion even as a woman is essentially 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:42.520 dilating ready to give birth, and she answered that it 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:46.520 would permit an abortion at that stage of labor. Do 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:50.400 you support her measure and explain her answer. But when 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:54.680 we talk about third trimester abortions, these are done with 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.880 the consent of obviously the mother with the consent of 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.480 the physicians, more than one physician, by the way, and 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.800 it's done in cases where there may be severe deformities, 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:09.400 there may be a fetus that's non viable. So in 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.480 this particular example, if a mother is in labor, I 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:16.360 can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:20.600 be delivered, the infant would be kept comfortable, the infant 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.800 would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:27.320 family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:31.200 physicians and the mothers. We want the government not to 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.960 be involved in these types of decisions. We want the 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:38.080 decision to be made by the mothers and their providers. 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:42.120 And this is why Julie that legislators, most of whom 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.480 are men, by the way, shouldn't be telling a woman 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:46.960 what she should and shouldn't be doing with her body. 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:57.880 That's the most grotesquely immoral and disgusting thing a politician 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:02.640 has said in my lifetime. Although obviously a Cuomo support 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:06.440 for a similar bill in New York is right up there. 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.240 We can just walk through what was said. This is 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:15.560 the governor of Virginia, the chief elected official of the 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:20.160 state of Virginia, and he says that an infant under 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.200 the law that Democrats are putting forward here in this 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:27.800 abortion bill, under the law, an infant would be delivered. 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:32.360 So then now we're talking about baby outside the womb. 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:36.640 That is what delivered means a baby delivered outside the 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:43.280 womb would be made comfortable, which means that obviously there's 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.920 an understanding that this is a person who feels pain, 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:53.000 who has a fully functioning brain, central nervous system, heart, lung, eyes, 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:58.600 little fingers, little feet, a baby. And then once they 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:03.520 had made the delivered infant comfortable, they would have a 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:07.600 they would have the right to resuscitate or not resuscitate, 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:09.720 and figure out what they want to do with the baby. 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.160 He is talking about killing a baby outside the womb 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:17.040 and saying it is legal. There's no wiggle room on this. 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:24.640 There's no good faith two sides. This is infanticide, this 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:32.319 is killing babies. And there's a feeling here of tremendous regression. 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:39.440 I've mentioned you before that my college advisor, thesis advisor, 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:43.839 Professor Hadley Archy's who was the only only outspoken conservative 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:48.000 on my whole college campus and was somebody that played 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:51.319 a very important role in the development of my my 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:57.040 own politics and political philosophy. He was part of the 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.800 early drafting of what's known as the Born Alive in 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:05.319 Protection Act. I've told people what that bill says. It's 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.120 a federal it's a federal laws. By the way, I 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.520 believe this, this must be in violation of it. I'm 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:13.000 assuming this will be This will be challenged in the courts. 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.040 I certainly hope it is. It will be challenged in 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:16.719 this life or the next. I can assure you that. 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:22.720 But Hadley or Professor Arki's he lets me call him Hadley. 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:27.679 Now he had to write or put forward that, if 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:31.640 nothing else, the abortion extremist should have to consent to 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:35.440 keeping a baby outside the womb that is alive, alive 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:40.640 because under the under the understanding post Roe v. Wade 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:45.599 that persistent in the courts, the right to an abortion 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.200 was the right to a dead baby, even if during 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.840 the abortion procedure. And this has happened. There are people 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:54.559 who have survived botched abortions. The baby came out and 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:59.559 was still alive. They had to pass a bill. By 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.439 the way, you want to know who did not vote 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:06.480 in favor of that bill in the state Assembly got 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.760 to pass on this one, of course, because he wanted 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:13.280 that that planned parenthood money. When he was running Barack 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.760 Obama as a state senator. One of very few I 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.079 would know, but he knew. You want to be in 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.079 with the Democrats, you want to be part of the 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.800 left and really have them fully behind you, you have 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:29.240 to be an abortion extremist. All nine months. This is 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:32.280 all nine months of the pregnancy, up to and beyond 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:38.280 the moment of birth. How could anybody say this? How 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:42.760 could anybody make this argument? The most vulnerable people in 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.840 our society, The most precious thing we have in our 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.559 society is life. The most vulnerable people in our society 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:54.760 are infants. And Democrats are spending their time and resources 0:11:54.840 --> 0:12:00.120 and power to pass laws that allow people and I 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.920 know that people that there will be this. Oh, it's 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:08.760 it's very rare. Well, it's very rare. It is not 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:10.880 a justification for any other kind of murder. So I 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:13.280 need to know why they think it's very rare would 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:16.599 be a justification for this kind of murder. This is 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:19.640 not there's no gray area here. This is black and white. 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.800 Democrats believe that a woman has the right to kill 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:28.040 her own baby, that is what this says. I'm not exaggerating, 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.480 I am not taking it out of context. They have 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:36.280 fallen into an abyss of darkness, all of the echo 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:41.439 chambers of their cowardly, disgraceful media, all these self important, 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:46.600 self involved millionaires and billionaires running these propaganda organs, all 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:51.599 these women's rights activist groups, and this whole the propaganda 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:57.439 of postmodern femine postmodernist feminism, and the left wing manipulation 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.880 of words and the use of emotion to try to 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:05.160 tell people, force people, convince them to abandon the most 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:15.640 fundamental moral concepts in society. And it's working. It's working. 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:18.240 There are a lot of days when I come in 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.600 here and I get to talk to you about things 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:25.480 that are just interesting, things that are are entertaining, enjoyable, 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.520 are you know, important in the culture. But we can 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:30.840 we will all be fine whether it goes one way 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:32.720 or the other. You know, we can take a loss 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.040 on some issues and sleep well at night and know 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:38.160 that it's all going to be okay. This is not 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:43.199 one of them. This is a declaration of war on 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:50.319 life from the left. It is the most egregious, disgusting 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:57.360 legislative act in my lifetime. There will be a time, 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:01.520 many years hence, I think, when we will look back 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:07.400 on this and there will be tremendous efforts to rehabilitate 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.360 what the left was really all about when it came 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:13.160 to life and to babies, and they will try to 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:16.880 rewrite this. They will have to rewrite this, because this 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.840 is so immoral and so grotesque that it will haunt 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:24.320 those who supported it, and certainly those who engaged in it, 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:29.760 for many, many years to come. I want to play 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:31.560 for you when we come back, and then we will 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:33.720 move off the topic, because I honestly can't handle to 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:35.600 talk about it much more, and I don't know, I 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:37.120 don't want to.

Look at the 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:54.480 tortured language. A woman's right to control reproductive health, just say, 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:56.200 a right to an abortion for all nine months of 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.040 a pregnancy. That's what you're doing there up in New 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:01.080 York and now in Virginia too. This is what this 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:02.880 is what the conversation was on the floor of the 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:10.960 Virginia Virginia Legislature. Play eight. How late in the third 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:15.040 trimester could a physician perform an abortion if he indicated 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:18.639 it would impair the mental health of the woman or 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:22.200 physical health? Okay, okay, I'm talking about the mental health. 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:25.679 So I mean through the third trimester. The third trimester 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:27.960 goes all the way up to forty weeks okay, but 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.160 to the end of the third trimester. Yep. I don't 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:34.840 think we have a limit in the bill. So where 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.000 it's obvious that a woman is about to give birth, 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.800 she has physical signs of that she is about to 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.320 give a birth, would that still be a point at 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:44.800 which she could request an abortion if she was so 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:52.800 certified she's dilating, mister chairman, that would be a you know, 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:57.200 a decision that the doctor, the physician, and the woman 0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:00.200 understand that. I'm asking if your bill allows that, my 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:05.240 bill would allow that. Yes? Is there any way I 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:08.040 have misrepresented what is going on here? I mean, I 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:12.080 ask you that in all honesty. Here's the woman putting 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:15.639 forth the bill for the Virginia legislature. She has asked, 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:19.760 can you kill the baby while it is being born? 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:25.280 Under your bill? She says, my bill would allow that 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:31.800 woman's water breaks, she's giving birth. I decide, or you know, 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.240 she decides she doesn't want to do it anymore. She 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:37.760 can say, doctor, terminate this pregnancy. Oh, but the baby 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:39.520 is going to be out. It's I can already see 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:42.840 its head. No, doctor terminate the pregnancy. Okay, Well, if 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:45.440 you say it's going to hurt your mental health. You 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.520 can tell me that this will be rare. I don't care. 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:55.760 It is murder, It is legal grounds for infanticide. It 0:18:56.000 --> 0:19:00.440 is a blight on this country that any state, any legislature, 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:04.040 quite honestly, any human being would be okay with this. 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:07.080 Would the fact that they're advocating for it, that they're cheering, 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:10.280 that they're proud, my friends. I do not say this lightly. 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:12.639 There are some issues where it is a political difference 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:15.119 between left and right, and there are good faiths or 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:18.240 arguments on both sides. This is not one of those issues. 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:23.120 The left, the Democrats have sided with Satan. They are wrong. 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:28.080 This is evil. This is evil. We must oppose this, 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:31.320 and we must beat them at the ballot box to 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:34.439 stop them from being able to implement what is an 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:41.240 obviously barbaric policy. Here's an interesting thing that's happening, the 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.880 whole idea of how does she identify? Does she identify 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:47.360 as an African American? Did you see the thing going 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:50.280 on on social media? She identify as a person of color? 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:52.200 Because when I asked by Jake if she you know, 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:54.120 as a black woman, she goes as a person of color. 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:56.640 Remember that whole thing with Obama is he black enough. 0:19:57.359 --> 0:19:59.960 That is different than identifying. But it's just an interest 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:02.440 in conversation to me that I hear people talking about. 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:08.520 This is what they spend time on at CNN. This 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:12.679 is where their focus is. You know, they're they're wanting 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:15.920 to talk about how Kamala Harris. I mean, she's obviously 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:20.000 a woman of color. Does she identify as black? I mean, 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:22.879 I think with most people she registers as black. But 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:25.119 this is a this is a conversation of sorts. I 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:28.800 don't think it's a particularly important one. But how does 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:33.359 one quantify or qualify blackness in this country? If someone 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:37.240 is of of you know, dual ethnicity, if you will 0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:41.200 mother and father are from different ethnic backgrounds, do you pick? 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:44.439 Do you you know that there is an identification, there 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:49.720 is a self identity process in this whole thing. It's 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:51.720 it's dizzying when you try to put all this stuff 0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:54.199 together and try to understand where they're going with all 0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:56.720 of it. But that's you know, that's and I know 0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:58.520 you say, oh about that's just one clip, but no, 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.520 I mean today there was a focus on Howard Schultz 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:06.920 not knowing the price of cheerios. Oh, he's an out 0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:10.040 of touch billionaire. Doesn't know the price of cheerios. I'm 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:12.920 about a billion dollars short of being a billionaire, and 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:14.680 I don't know the price of cheerios off the top 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:17.359 of my head because I don't need them. Yeah, I mean, 0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:19.280 I guess it's like three or four bucks maybe, but 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:21.320 maybe it's six. And it depends on where you shop. 0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:22.960 I don't know, John, what do you know what the 0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:25.440 price of cheerios? This was a big story today for 0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:30.399 the media. Four or five bucks? Okay exactly? John depends 0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:32.800 on this. I see John knows. John knows his cheerios. 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:35.359 Honey nut is obviously the way to go if you're 0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:39.400 gonna get cheerios. But I think plane cheerios are gluten free, 0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:41.920 but I'd have to check. But that's the kind of 0:21:42.520 --> 0:21:45.440 just nonsense that they focus on. When and I played 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:47.000 for you what And I'm not going to go back 0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:48.480 and talk more about what we started the show it 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:50.520 because it honestly, it upsets me. It upsets me to 0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:52.800 talk about it, upsets me to think about it. But 0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:56.920 we can't move away from a hard topics just because 0:21:57.000 --> 0:22:01.680 there's there's other things on the horizon. Amla Harris not 0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:05.760 a strong rollout for I would say a certainly a 0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:09.320 top three Democrat nominee contender not not going so well 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:13.600 so far. And here's one that we didn't get to yesterday. 0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:15.680 And here's part of the conversation that I think is 0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:20.320 going to be harder for Democrats to make seem okay 0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:23.560 to the general elector. I mean, the Democrats biggest problem 0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:27.159 and runn against Republicans is that their only job is 0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:29.920 to not be lunatics, and they can't do that job. 0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:32.200 If the Democrats came forward and they said, you know, 0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:35.560 we're gonna fix healthcare, We're gonna respect people's individual rights, 0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:37.000 we're not going to try to take your guns away. 0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:39.520 We're not gonna push climate change lunacy on you. We 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:43.639 want to fix some aspects of Obamacare. We will. We 0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:46.240 want DACA an amnesty, which I'm obviously very opposed to, 0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:48.399 but you know, we're willing to do some things at 0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:51.719 the border to tamp down on this false amnesty claims 0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:54.440 and also on the illegal crossings with the fence. You know, 0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:57.959 if they just triangulated a little bit, a little bit, 0:22:59.320 --> 0:23:02.720 I would be I would know that they were probably 0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:04.800 doing a head faith that they were lying. I mean, 0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:07.240 I'm not saying that the Democrats would cease to be Democrats. 0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:11.640 But instead of doing that, instead of presenting themselves as 0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:16.080 better at governance and more reasonable than the Republicans, what 0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:26.680 do they do the crazy talk play for what we 0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:31.280 would call today a domestic terrorist group? Why why why 0:23:31.320 --> 0:23:34.760 would we call them domestic terrorist group? Because they tried 0:23:34.840 --> 0:23:38.200 to use fear and force to change political environment? And 0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:40.520 what was the motivation for the use of fear and 0:23:40.600 --> 0:23:44.639 force based on race and ethnicity? Right? Are you aware 0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:50.560 of the perception of many about how the power and 0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:54.520 the discretion at ICE as being used to enforce the laws? 0:23:55.600 --> 0:24:01.760 And do you see any parallels parallels huh to a 0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:08.120 domestic terrorist group ICE, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. I gotta 0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:10.440 tell you, that's why during the shutdown it made me 0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:13.800 so frustrated all these Democrats who were saying, oh, the 0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:17.960 poor border patrol people, they're working without pay. Immigrations and 0:24:18.040 --> 0:24:21.080 Customs enforcement, they're working without pay. I'm sitting here, I'm like, 0:24:21.320 --> 0:24:25.119 all on a second, yeah, they should get paid, and 0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:27.040 I feel badly for those families, but they got their 0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:29.680 back pay. Is now they're secure, They'll be all right. 0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:33.800 But Democrats are the ones that say that they're acting 0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:36.800 like Nazis, that Border Patrol is like a bunch of Nazis, 0:24:36.920 --> 0:24:40.960 that ICE is setting up concentration camps. They're the ones 0:24:41.000 --> 0:24:45.840 that undermine the core mission of those agencies. At the 0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:50.160 first sign of any political advantage from it, they throw 0:24:50.800 --> 0:24:54.120 ICE and Border Patrol under the bus so fast their 0:24:54.400 --> 0:24:58.040 heads don't even have time to spend. And then they 0:24:58.119 --> 0:25:00.480 want to be Oh, we're so worried about these, about 0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:05.000 our brave federal employees. We gotta go to a quick break. 0:25:05.040 --> 0:25:07.720 I'll be back. Oh in one minute. I'm sorry. I 0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:10.120 thought we had up. Sorry about that team. I was like, John, 0:25:10.280 --> 0:25:12.520 what's going on here? Yeah, I'm not done yet. I 0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:16.119 have not yet begun to radio. So this is what 0:25:16.400 --> 0:25:17.600 this is what you've got going on. I mean, you 0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:22.919 have Kamala Harris, who is somebody she's just like Hillary, 0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:24.520 and that she's gonna say whatever she has to say 0:25:24.560 --> 0:25:26.119 in the moment to appeal to whoever she has to 0:25:26.200 --> 0:25:28.760 appeal to you, and eventually I think it all will collapse. 0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:30.680 The media is gonna try to prop her up and 0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:34.280 hold her up and and convince people through all their 0:25:34.359 --> 0:25:39.920 little propaganda magic tricks that she's a centrist, a technocrat, 0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:43.280 and you know Sterling resume great personal story. The reality 0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:51.240 is she's a completely opportunistic politician who doesn't seem to 0:25:51.280 --> 0:25:55.120 have much of an ethical core in her policies. I'm 0:25:55.119 --> 0:25:59.280 not talking about personal stuff, and it's just not not 0:25:59.440 --> 0:26:01.239 a real man up for the Trumpster. That's the good 0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:03.760 news for us. But we got more on socialism and healthcare, 0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:06.280 Big healthcare, Deep Dot coming up next hours. Stay with me. 0:26:07.840 --> 0:26:10.359 I think you could never affoid that you're talking about 0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:14.240 trillions of dollars. I think you can have Medicare for 0:26:14.400 --> 0:26:18.040 all for people that are uncovered, but because that's a 0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:20.600 smaller group and a lot of them are taking care 0:26:20.640 --> 0:26:26.520 of Medicaid already Medicare, but to replace the entire private 0:26:26.720 --> 0:26:33.000 system where companies provide healthcare for their employees would bankrupt 0:26:33.160 --> 0:26:36.840 us for a very long time. That's not correct. That's 0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:39.840 not American. What's next? What industry are we going to 0:26:39.840 --> 0:26:44.280 abolish next? That alone would wipe out millions of jobs 0:26:44.400 --> 0:26:47.640 of Americans. And that is a kind of extreme policy. 0:26:47.920 --> 0:26:50.920 That is not a policy that I agree with. And 0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:53.960 if you take immigration, you take healthcare. What we have 0:26:54.200 --> 0:26:58.159 is extremes on both right, both sides not representing the 0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:02.639 large majority of America who don't have a voice. The 0:27:02.840 --> 0:27:08.000 billionaires on the left caused them a little bit of heartburn. There. 0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:12.560 For the progressives, you have Bloomberg, who say what you 0:27:12.640 --> 0:27:15.280 will about him, and he's a total you know, he's 0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:18.960 a total nincome poop on guns and he's mister nanny, 0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:23.119 stay with it, no drinking big sodas, and uh, you 0:27:23.200 --> 0:27:26.919 know he obviously he's he's a big government guile. Though. 0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:28.960 I will say the problem with Bloomberg, and I remember, 0:27:29.400 --> 0:27:31.560 as much as I love Glembeck, I remember he looked 0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:32.920 at me once like I was crazy because I was 0:27:32.960 --> 0:27:35.480 a New York City resident for many years. I actually 0:27:35.520 --> 0:27:38.399 worked for Bloomberg at the NYPD, and I said, you know, 0:27:38.480 --> 0:27:40.600 you gotta be Bloomberg is what you really got to 0:27:40.600 --> 0:27:45.919 worry about, because at Bloomberg you get efficient, efficient government services, 0:27:46.240 --> 0:27:49.680 clean streets, the trains running on time. But he won't 0:27:49.760 --> 0:27:51.240 let you have big sodas and wants to take your 0:27:51.280 --> 0:27:55.399 guns away. You know, the the the Detroit model, the 0:27:56.000 --> 0:28:00.320 Baltimore model of a Democrat lefty who just doesn't know 0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:02.399 what the heck they're doing and tries to pile on 0:28:02.440 --> 0:28:06.680 all the progressive you know, Nanni state social justice nonsense. Yeah, 0:28:06.880 --> 0:28:09.640 anybody with you know, two brain cells to rub together 0:28:09.760 --> 0:28:12.440 can come up with why that's a bad idea. The 0:28:12.520 --> 0:28:18.080 real problem from our perspective is the Bloombergian effective provision 0:28:18.160 --> 0:28:24.200 of government services and reasonably efficient government activity that is 0:28:24.320 --> 0:28:26.399 Nannie State. Like that's when you get you know, that's 0:28:26.400 --> 0:28:27.760 when you all of a sudden people saying, well, I 0:28:27.760 --> 0:28:29.919 don't mind being Denmark. We're gonna talk more about Denmark 0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:31.240 and healthcare and stuff, by the way, in just a 0:28:31.280 --> 0:28:34.439 few moments here. But the problem that Bloomberg and Schultz, 0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:36.240 who was a second guy there, they're both talking about 0:28:36.280 --> 0:28:39.200 Kamala Harris saying we need medicare for all. The problem 0:28:39.280 --> 0:28:42.720 that they pose for the Democrat Party right now is 0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:46.200 that here are two guys who are both self made. 0:28:46.400 --> 0:28:48.800 Oh man, they were going after Schultz. Schultz grew up 0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:51.920 in a housing project and started out with one coffee 0:28:51.960 --> 0:28:55.640 shop and ended up running a multibillion dollar empire. As 0:28:55.760 --> 0:28:59.760 much as I don't like Starbucks, is you know, it's politics. 0:29:00.240 --> 0:29:04.400 It is a great brand, and it's an incredible success story, 0:29:05.240 --> 0:29:07.000 and you know, you gotta give props where they're due. 0:29:07.880 --> 0:29:10.240 And Bloomberg obviously was a finance guy who came up 0:29:10.240 --> 0:29:12.280 with the Bloomberg terminal idea, and he became a self 0:29:12.320 --> 0:29:14.040 made billionaire. I think he's the richest person in New 0:29:14.120 --> 0:29:19.200 York State. So these are two guys who understand, for 0:29:19.360 --> 0:29:25.560 whatever their politics may be, they understand business. They understand numbers, finances, 0:29:25.880 --> 0:29:29.120 and a balance sheet, no question, you cannot question either 0:29:29.240 --> 0:29:31.920 of them when it comes to their ability on those matters. 0:29:32.720 --> 0:29:37.800 And they are staring, staring across the table at the 0:29:38.440 --> 0:29:44.720 Warren Ocasio Cortez, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris fantasy land, I 0:29:44.800 --> 0:29:51.040 mean just absolute fantasyland. And they're saying, I'm sorry, this 0:29:51.360 --> 0:29:57.000 isn't going to work. This would be catastrophic. The costs 0:29:57.040 --> 0:30:01.680 would be catastrophic for the economy. You're talking about tens 0:30:01.880 --> 0:30:06.080 of trillions of dollars of additional government spending that you're 0:30:06.160 --> 0:30:07.320 not going to be able to come up with a 0:30:07.360 --> 0:30:09.720 tax revenue to pay for this. We're already going a 0:30:09.800 --> 0:30:11.880 trillion dollars a year in a debt. We're already spending 0:30:11.920 --> 0:30:14.400 too much right now, or we're going to start going 0:30:14.480 --> 0:30:17.520 three trillion in debt, four trillion in debt. This is 0:30:17.640 --> 0:30:22.160 how on a yearly basis. This is how we would 0:30:22.320 --> 0:30:27.880 find ourselves in a circumstance where our debt our debt 0:30:28.000 --> 0:30:32.680 service obligations becomes too high, crowds out other government spending. 0:30:32.680 --> 0:30:34.920 Could become the biggest single item in the budget if 0:30:34.960 --> 0:30:38.880 we don't watch ourselves, so we'll just be paying taxes 0:30:39.520 --> 0:30:42.800 to pay the interest on the money that we've already spent. 0:30:43.440 --> 0:30:45.920 You know, this is how you get in a scary territory, right. 0:30:45.960 --> 0:30:48.120 This is like if you're an individual and all you 0:30:48.200 --> 0:30:50.680 can pay your finance charges and your credit card bills. 0:30:50.800 --> 0:30:54.280 That's when the credit cards companies got you, because now 0:30:54.440 --> 0:30:56.800 you're just paying them money for the money you've already spent. 0:30:56.880 --> 0:30:58.920 You're not even getting rid of that balance. You're on 0:30:59.000 --> 0:31:01.720 a treadmill, and they're they're the ones with the whip saying, 0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:06.560 you know, mush, mush, go faster. That's what our government 0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:09.520 will will be doing if we allow the debt to 0:31:09.560 --> 0:31:11.560 get so large to the debt service payments crowd out 0:31:11.600 --> 0:31:13.720 the rest of it. And we're on track for that 0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:15.720 to happen if we do this, I mean, if you 0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:18.920 if you have single payer for healthcare, it's going to 0:31:19.000 --> 0:31:21.400 just it'll blow up the blow up the budget, which 0:31:21.440 --> 0:31:25.040 also means that we won't be able to borrow money. 0:31:25.080 --> 0:31:28.200 Our treasury bonds will become a problem, and eventually we 0:31:28.840 --> 0:31:32.000 risk not being the reserve currency for all global commerce, 0:31:32.560 --> 0:31:37.000 and that becomes a huge problem. You know, our overspending 0:31:37.960 --> 0:31:41.760 is a national security vulnerability. China is already aware of 0:31:41.840 --> 0:31:44.000 this and looking to take advantage of it long term. 0:31:44.080 --> 0:31:46.640 This is not just a function of oh, these people 0:31:46.720 --> 0:31:50.960 have some nice ideas. This matters for future generations. It 0:31:51.200 --> 0:31:56.240 matters for the health of this country financially and healthwise. 0:31:57.560 --> 0:32:01.360 But these billionaires, they are are not welcome in this 0:32:01.520 --> 0:32:05.640 conversation on the left right now, because people want the 0:32:05.880 --> 0:32:10.320 Santa Claus healthcare talk. They want to be told that 0:32:10.440 --> 0:32:14.840 they're gonna have brilliant, perfect, wonderful free healthcare that only 0:32:14.880 --> 0:32:17.080 the super rich people are going to pay for. And 0:32:17.400 --> 0:32:20.800 I'm here to say that what Bloomberg and Schultz are 0:32:20.840 --> 0:32:25.640 saying is there's not enough money. They are making a 0:32:25.800 --> 0:32:28.520 promise that they cannot deliver on. Keep in mind, the 0:32:28.640 --> 0:32:30.560 wall is not a promise that Trump has made that 0:32:30.600 --> 0:32:33.120 he can't deliver on. Democrats are refusing to let him 0:32:33.360 --> 0:32:37.720 deliver on it. You could have sixty Democrat votes in 0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:41.200 the Senate, solid Democrat majority you know in the House 0:32:41.360 --> 0:32:45.360 called a fifty vote Democrat majority in the House, and 0:32:45.600 --> 0:32:49.959 the Democrat presidency, they would not be able to deliver 0:32:50.200 --> 0:32:52.720 on this plan. They might try, and we're going to 0:32:52.800 --> 0:32:54.520 talk to McRoy here in a few minutes about what 0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:57.600 that would look like, but they will not be able 0:32:57.640 --> 0:33:02.720 to do this without catastrophe effects on the economy. Meanwhile, 0:33:02.800 --> 0:33:08.280 aoc Ocasio Cortez is out there just just openly promoting this, 0:33:08.640 --> 0:33:11.240 and it really comes down to not you're going to 0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:15.560 see more of this. It's not just about healthcare, healthcare expenditures, 0:33:15.600 --> 0:33:18.160 the cost and all that. It's also increasingly just about 0:33:18.200 --> 0:33:20.920 what's fair. Right. This is this is very much an 0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:24.440 Obama word, right, what's fair? Pay your fair share. This 0:33:24.640 --> 0:33:28.080 is about justice. This is about people should have free 0:33:28.160 --> 0:33:30.280 stuff because there are too many rich people who have 0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:34.200 too much stuff. This is that's not an economic argument, 0:33:34.320 --> 0:33:38.840 that's a social justice argument. And that's when it comes 0:33:38.840 --> 0:33:42.480 to eliminating private health insurance, which Kamala Harris said she wants. 0:33:42.840 --> 0:33:45.880 That is the argument that increasingly is going to be 0:33:45.960 --> 0:33:49.320 made by the left going forward. It's not even about 0:33:49.320 --> 0:33:51.520 the numbers. Just do it because it's the right thing 0:33:51.600 --> 0:33:56.040 to do. They will say, play clip two. Do you 0:33:56.160 --> 0:34:00.040 support Senator Harris's proposed last night Medicare for all and 0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:02.520 eliminated by the trans companies? You know, I think that 0:34:03.320 --> 0:34:05.840 I think that's the direction that we absolutely need to 0:34:05.960 --> 0:34:10.240 go in. Medicare for all would save the American people 0:34:10.640 --> 0:34:13.560 a very large amount of money. Capitalism has not always 0:34:13.640 --> 0:34:16.840 existed in the world, and it will not always exist 0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:21.760 in the world. Maybe this idea of idealizing this outcome 0:34:21.840 --> 0:34:24.840 of maybe one day you two can be a billionaire 0:34:24.880 --> 0:34:28.200 and own more than millions of families combined, is not 0:34:28.760 --> 0:34:35.120 an aspirational or good thing. How much is at? What level? 0:34:35.239 --> 0:34:38.319 Are we really just living in excess? And what kind 0:34:38.360 --> 0:34:43.880 of society do we want to live in? Alexandria Ocasio 0:34:44.040 --> 0:34:52.040 Cortez wants people to be poorer because we'll all feel 0:34:52.120 --> 0:34:56.040 better if we're all a little poorer. That's what this 0:34:56.160 --> 0:35:00.480 really comes down to. It is the philosophy of pulling 0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:04.359 people down so that the people below them feel more 0:35:04.480 --> 0:35:07.759 comfortable with where they are. It's not going to make 0:35:07.800 --> 0:35:09.640 their lives better, it's not going to make things better 0:35:09.760 --> 0:35:13.879 for them. This is very dangerous, and it is being 0:35:14.280 --> 0:35:19.960 more and more openly embraced on the left. This is 0:35:20.000 --> 0:35:22.800 going to be the argument that you hear in the 0:35:22.880 --> 0:35:25.920 Democrat primary. And I think even when the Democrat candidate 0:35:26.080 --> 0:35:30.880 is finally decided, and you know Schultz who says he 0:35:30.960 --> 0:35:34.040 might run third party, and the left is freaking out 0:35:34.080 --> 0:35:35.839 because they all that they hear third party, and all 0:35:35.840 --> 0:35:38.319 they can think about is former years of Trump, which 0:35:38.440 --> 0:35:42.080 makes their heads explode. Schultz is speaking truth on this stuff. 0:35:42.080 --> 0:35:44.400 And I know, I'm not even getting into his policies 0:35:44.400 --> 0:35:46.120 that I disagree with, and I'm sure he's a climate 0:35:46.200 --> 0:35:49.200 change not in all that other stuff. The Democratic Party 0:35:49.239 --> 0:35:53.480 has radicalized to the left in a lot of ways, 0:35:53.520 --> 0:35:55.680 as we've been discussing this hour. But here's what Schultz said, 0:35:55.719 --> 0:35:57.799 play six. If you kind of look at the tea 0:35:57.880 --> 0:36:03.080 leaves today, it appears the Democratic Party is shifting far, 0:36:03.239 --> 0:36:07.920 far left, with very strong progressive ideas, the likes of 0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:14.120 which we should talk about. Yep, his assessment is correct. 0:36:14.719 --> 0:36:18.279 The Democrat Party is far left, especially now on the 0:36:18.360 --> 0:36:20.920 issue of healthcare. They're more open about it than ever. 0:36:21.400 --> 0:36:24.120 What is the truth of single payer? What would it 0:36:24.200 --> 0:36:27.080 mean to have medicare for all my friend Ovic Roy, 0:36:27.160 --> 0:36:29.120 who is a fantastic expert of this, He's going to 0:36:29.200 --> 0:36:31.000 join us for a deep dive into this. If you 0:36:31.120 --> 0:36:34.960 listen to this interview, you will know more than ninety percent, 0:36:35.120 --> 0:36:37.160 probably ninety five percent of the people who go on 0:36:37.280 --> 0:36:39.359 TV and talk about it. Listen to what my man 0:36:39.440 --> 0:36:42.880 Ovic has to say that's coming up. Hiring can be 0:36:43.080 --> 0:36:45.000 time consuming. We've had to do a lot of it 0:36:45.200 --> 0:36:48.239 at Hill TV, so I've been through this process. And 0:36:48.480 --> 0:36:50.960 you know, you post a job to these different online boards, 0:36:51.160 --> 0:36:53.040 you'll get a lot of the wrong resumes from the 0:36:53.120 --> 0:36:56.000 wrong people when you really just need something to sort 0:36:56.080 --> 0:36:58.440 through the resumes and find people that have the right 0:36:58.520 --> 0:37:01.799 skills and expertise for the job opening that you've got right. 0:37:02.120 --> 0:37:04.920 So those job sites that overwhelm you with the wrong resumes, 0:37:05.000 --> 0:37:07.400 they're not smart. That's why you should do the smart thing, 0:37:07.520 --> 0:37:09.680 which is what I did, and go to zip recruiter, 0:37:09.800 --> 0:37:13.680 dot Com, slash buck.

Zipp recruiter the 0:37:43.560 --> 0:37:48.080 smartest way to hire. If we're talking about tearing down 0:37:48.120 --> 0:37:51.760 the healthcare system and starting over, I think every option 0:37:51.880 --> 0:37:53.799 needs to be on the table, and single payer sure 0:37:53.840 --> 0:37:57.760 ought to be at the tops. Everyone all should receive 0:37:57.920 --> 0:38:01.560 the healthcare they need, regardless of where they live, their income, 0:38:01.840 --> 0:38:04.600 or their zip code. This is about a right, not 0:38:04.760 --> 0:38:08.000 about a privilege for a few. And let's be clear, 0:38:08.080 --> 0:38:11.200 it is not only about what is the right thing 0:38:11.280 --> 0:38:15.560 to do morally and ethically. It's also smart in terms 0:38:15.600 --> 0:38:19.200 of the fiscal impact, a single pay a healthcare system 0:38:19.760 --> 0:38:23.840 would save the average family significant sums of money. And 0:38:24.040 --> 0:38:28.520 what Republicans sometimes do is confuse the issue and they say, well, 0:38:28.520 --> 0:38:30.800 you're going to pay more in taxes. What they forget 0:38:30.880 --> 0:38:32.480 to tell you is that if you were a family 0:38:32.560 --> 0:38:36.160 of four now paying fifteen or twenty thousand dollars a 0:38:36.280 --> 0:38:39.080 year in private health insurance, You're not going to be 0:38:39.160 --> 0:38:42.920 paying that at all. The new hotness on the progressive 0:38:43.040 --> 0:38:46.320 left single payer. Gosh, I'm old enough to remember just 0:38:46.400 --> 0:38:49.279 a few years back when to say that Obamacare was 0:38:49.760 --> 0:38:52.520 really just a way of getting a single payer with 0:38:52.680 --> 0:38:57.800 some kind of mean, unfair, maybe even racist comment. But 0:38:58.120 --> 0:38:59.880 here we are. Turns out that was true all on. 0:39:00.520 --> 0:39:04.000 What is the truth of what's happening here with single pair? 0:39:04.200 --> 0:39:05.480 Is it a good idea? I want to I want 0:39:05.520 --> 0:39:07.480 to tackle some of these statements, and I brought on 0:39:07.560 --> 0:39:10.280 an expert to help us do that. We have Ovic 0:39:10.400 --> 0:39:12.200 Roy with us, who, by the way, has an MD. 0:39:12.480 --> 0:39:15.440 On top of being a generally brilliant and insightful fellow, 0:39:15.680 --> 0:39:18.239 he's also the president of the Foundation for Research on 0:39:18.440 --> 0:39:21.319 Equal Opportunity. To see what he's up to, free op 0:39:21.520 --> 0:39:26.160 f r e eo pp dot org free op oppa, 0:39:26.239 --> 0:39:30.120 you know me dot org uster. Mister Roy, good, have 0:39:30.239 --> 0:39:34.520 you hey, man? How's it going. I'm good, I'm good. 0:39:34.960 --> 0:39:37.879 So let's start with this. What is your just your 0:39:38.000 --> 0:39:42.439 your first reaction when you hear Bernie Sanders, Kamala, Harris Warren, etc. 0:39:42.880 --> 0:39:46.359 They're all saying single payer, medicare for all, or at 0:39:46.400 --> 0:39:49.279 least they're saying medicare for all. You say what to this? 0:39:50.880 --> 0:39:52.880 What I say, Buck, is that only half of what 0:39:53.040 --> 0:39:57.040 they're saying is crazy, and single pair is a greater 0:39:57.320 --> 0:40:01.680 threat than I think a lot of us realize. That's 0:40:01.840 --> 0:40:05.399 that's pretty that's pretty disconcerting. We walk me through. Let's 0:40:05.440 --> 0:40:07.759 take some of these some of these big statements that 0:40:07.880 --> 0:40:09.920 they make, and you tell me the truth of it 0:40:10.040 --> 0:40:12.279 or where it comes on. For example, here here's you know, 0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:14.480 I get a little frustrated because a lot of my 0:40:14.560 --> 0:40:17.520 Republican friends, a lot of my conservative brothers and sisters, 0:40:17.840 --> 0:40:24.719 will just say that Venezuela is all you need to say, right, 0:40:24.800 --> 0:40:28.600 look at Venezuela, socialism, Venezuela. And while Venezuela is instructive 0:40:28.640 --> 0:40:32.520 in some ways, obviously, the left, the progressives, they just say, Okay, 0:40:32.640 --> 0:40:36.080 what about Denmark, what about Sweden? Sweden does it? Why 0:40:36.160 --> 0:40:38.680 can't we? The UK does it? Why can't we? What 0:40:38.760 --> 0:40:42.279 do you say to that? Over? Yeah? And there again 0:40:42.360 --> 0:40:45.839 that's the part that's not crazy. Here's an amazing statistic, Buck, 0:40:46.040 --> 0:40:48.239 that a lot of your listeners won't know, and that 0:40:48.480 --> 0:40:52.560 is that government's spending on healthcare, not total spending. Government 0:40:52.680 --> 0:40:56.520 spending on healthcare per person in the United States is 0:40:56.680 --> 0:40:59.920 higher than all but two other countries in the world's, 0:41:00.200 --> 0:41:03.120 higher than the UK, higher than Canada, higher than France, 0:41:03.360 --> 0:41:07.040 higher than Sweden. That's the amazing thing is our system 0:41:07.440 --> 0:41:09.800 for all the sort of the good things that we 0:41:09.880 --> 0:41:13.400 have in America, our healthcare system is so inefficient and 0:41:13.600 --> 0:41:18.960 so expensive do largely the government policy. That government spending 0:41:19.000 --> 0:41:21.960 on healthcare in America per person is far greater than 0:41:21.960 --> 0:41:23.880 it is almost every other country in the world. So 0:41:24.400 --> 0:41:27.440 when Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris always people say, hey, 0:41:27.800 --> 0:41:30.120 a single payer system like the UK or Canada would 0:41:30.160 --> 0:41:33.319 save us money, they are right now. The thing they 0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:36.520 don't tell you is that to get to that kind 0:41:36.560 --> 0:41:39.879 of savings cost savings from where we are today, you'd 0:41:39.920 --> 0:41:41.839 have to cut what we pay hospitals while we pay 0:41:41.920 --> 0:41:45.320 doctors while we pay drug companies by fifty percent. And 0:41:45.880 --> 0:41:48.520 no drug lobby or hospital lobby or doctors lobby is 0:41:48.560 --> 0:41:51.080 going to go for that. And so what you're eventually 0:41:51.200 --> 0:41:52.839 what you actually are going to have in America if 0:41:52.880 --> 0:41:54.960 you try to have single pair is you're going to 0:41:55.000 --> 0:41:57.320 have a system in which the cost to healthcare is 0:41:57.360 --> 0:41:59.759 the same, it's just that the government's paying for it. 0:42:00.080 --> 0:42:02.680 What would that do? That would increase federal spending in 0:42:02.719 --> 0:42:06.200 America over the next ten years by thirty three trillion 0:42:06.320 --> 0:42:09.319 dollars with a t That would increase federal spending by 0:42:09.440 --> 0:42:12.560 seventy one percent total federal spending, by the way, not 0:42:12.680 --> 0:42:16.280 just the healthcare piece. So the problem with a single 0:42:16.360 --> 0:42:18.719 payer is a devil whity take the tails if you 0:42:18.800 --> 0:42:22.239 actually do it the way that UK and Canada, those 0:42:22.239 --> 0:42:25.080 countries do it, whether there's rationing and there's restrictions and 0:42:25.200 --> 0:42:29.120 price controls and restrictions on access to high price services. Yeah, 0:42:29.480 --> 0:42:32.279 you could have a system that cost less in terms 0:42:32.320 --> 0:42:35.560 of government spending, but what we spend. Now, there's another 0:42:35.600 --> 0:42:39.680 important point, buck, and that is government run healthcare is 0:42:39.719 --> 0:42:42.280 not the only way to save money in our healthcare system. 0:42:42.760 --> 0:42:46.280 Market based healthcare systems like the ones in Switzerland Singapore 0:42:46.800 --> 0:42:49.960 spend far less than all those single payer countries. You 0:42:50.120 --> 0:42:54.160 never hear the Democrats talk about that, and that's the 0:42:54.239 --> 0:42:56.279 theme of a lot of the work we've done at 0:42:56.360 --> 0:42:58.840 my think tank, Free opt Dot Org where you know, 0:42:58.920 --> 0:43:01.600 we have a white paper called Transtanting Obamacare that details 0:43:01.840 --> 0:43:04.200 in a hundred pages for those who really care, how 0:43:04.280 --> 0:43:06.960 exactly you could transition our system, which is not a 0:43:07.040 --> 0:43:09.960 free market system, into one that is so that there's 0:43:10.040 --> 0:43:15.000 more competition, more choice, and lower costs. Oh, Vic, you know, 0:43:15.080 --> 0:43:18.000 this is where though, we get caught up in and 0:43:18.200 --> 0:43:20.359 just what sounds good to people? And what a lot 0:43:20.440 --> 0:43:23.920 of what a lot of the democrat the Democrats that 0:43:24.000 --> 0:43:26.680 are front runners right now are saying, is effectively things 0:43:26.719 --> 0:43:29.319 aren't so bad in Canada. Why don't we do Why 0:43:29.320 --> 0:43:32.759 don't we just do what what Canada does? And what 0:43:32.960 --> 0:43:34.680 you know? And the answer, so, well, what is the 0:43:34.719 --> 0:43:36.440 answer to that from your perspective? Why don't we just 0:43:36.520 --> 0:43:39.480 do what Canada does? Yeah? I mean, you know, if 0:43:39.520 --> 0:43:41.960 you do what Canada is basically the Canvas system. The 0:43:42.080 --> 0:43:46.320 hospitals and the drug companies and the doctors are theoretically private. 0:43:46.600 --> 0:43:50.320 The insurance is a single payer system. All the insured. 0:43:50.400 --> 0:43:53.720 There's one insured, the government of Canada. The British system, 0:43:53.800 --> 0:43:57.439 by contrast, it's completely socialized, like the VA, where both 0:43:57.880 --> 0:44:00.799 the insurers and the hospitals and the doctors are all 0:44:00.960 --> 0:44:02.960 either owned by the government or employee by the groom. 0:44:03.040 --> 0:44:05.759 So that's more like the East German healthcare system the 0:44:05.800 --> 0:44:09.200 British system. So there's a there are differences between different countries. 0:44:09.239 --> 0:44:11.480 And by the way, this is important for you to understand, 0:44:11.800 --> 0:44:14.720 not every country is single payer that has universal coverage. 0:44:14.800 --> 0:44:17.680 Universal coverage and single payer are not the same thing. 0:44:18.520 --> 0:44:21.080 For example, we have almost every American has a TV, 0:44:21.600 --> 0:44:24.040 but that there was no single payer TV system that 0:44:24.120 --> 0:44:26.360 created that. Right, we all have TVs because we like 0:44:26.480 --> 0:44:29.279 to watch TV, and TV isn't that expensive to buy. Right. 0:44:29.440 --> 0:44:31.719 The same could be true with health insurance. If we 0:44:31.840 --> 0:44:34.759 had a market based system for health insurance, we would 0:44:34.760 --> 0:44:37.399 actually have health insurance. It's not expensive and everyone would 0:44:37.400 --> 0:44:40.080 have it. We'd have universal coverage. So what's so great 0:44:40.080 --> 0:44:43.040 about Canada from the left standpoint that it spends less 0:44:43.160 --> 0:44:45.840 money and that everybody has health insurance, which is a 0:44:45.880 --> 0:44:47.920 good thing. It is a good thing that everybody has 0:44:47.960 --> 0:44:50.000 health insurance, and it's a good thing that we spend 0:44:50.080 --> 0:44:53.000 less money. Now here's the downside. The downside is that 0:44:53.120 --> 0:44:56.520 the way Canada does it is through waiting lists. They 0:44:56.640 --> 0:44:59.799 basically restrict your access to the latest technology. They were 0:45:00.000 --> 0:45:03.640 strict your access to procedures that they don't think we're important. 0:45:03.680 --> 0:45:05.359 If you want to get if you bust your knee 0:45:05.360 --> 0:45:06.759 and you need to get you carry your ACL and 0:45:06.800 --> 0:45:09.719 you knee replacement. In Canada, the average wait time is 0:45:09.800 --> 0:45:13.680 fourteen months on more than a year, because Canada thinks 0:45:13.719 --> 0:45:16.799 that people don't really need any replacements. So basically people 0:45:16.840 --> 0:45:19.160 have to come to America to get their knees replaced. 0:45:19.440 --> 0:45:21.880 So there are a lot of downsides the Canadian system. 0:45:21.960 --> 0:45:24.000 But again, the point I'm trying to make here is 0:45:24.200 --> 0:45:27.840 it's not enough for conservatives to say, oh, yeah, Kamala Harris, 0:45:28.040 --> 0:45:33.040 she's crazy Venezuela bang right. That that's not good enough 0:45:33.360 --> 0:45:36.960 because the average family today is spending more on their 0:45:37.040 --> 0:45:40.600 hospital bills than they are in taxes. The median household 0:45:40.920 --> 0:45:42.960 in America in terms of income, it's about sixty two 0:45:42.960 --> 0:45:46.040 thousand dollars thanks to the Republican tax cuts, their tax 0:45:46.160 --> 0:45:49.160 rates about thirteen and a half percent, but they're spending 0:45:49.280 --> 0:45:52.600 twenty percent of their income all in on hospital spending, 0:45:52.920 --> 0:45:54.960 not and that doesn't even include the drug and everything else. 0:45:55.160 --> 0:45:58.160 So American healthcare is way too expensive and conservatives have 0:45:58.400 --> 0:46:02.120 to have positive saluteans that reduce the cost of healthcare 0:46:02.120 --> 0:46:05.560 in America. So the costs are too high. I mean, 0:46:05.600 --> 0:46:07.719 so you would agree with this, is this is not 0:46:07.840 --> 0:46:11.840 just a perception like people get into it, go ahead. No, 0:46:12.000 --> 0:46:14.319 I'm just saying no, it's not a perception. It's absolutely 0:46:14.360 --> 0:46:17.000 the fact. Not only are they too high, they are extreme. 0:46:17.920 --> 0:46:21.760 Healthcare prices in America are extreme compared to other countries. 0:46:21.800 --> 0:46:24.879 And it's not because of the market. The market isn't 0:46:24.920 --> 0:46:28.920 the reason why prices are extreme. Chrony capitalism is the 0:46:29.040 --> 0:46:32.960 reason why prices are extreme in America. Government policies that 0:46:33.120 --> 0:46:37.760 create monopolies, that create barriers to competition, that restrict choice, 0:46:38.200 --> 0:46:41.720 and remove the everyday patient from the cost and price 0:46:41.800 --> 0:46:46.120 and value of the healthcare that he buys. As you know, Buck, 0:46:46.400 --> 0:46:48.319 so many of us, most of us. In fact, ninety 0:46:48.360 --> 0:46:50.560 percent of Americans don't buy their own health in term, 0:46:50.880 --> 0:46:53.399 it's bought on their behalf by somebody else, whether it's 0:46:53.400 --> 0:46:56.000 their employer or the government. That's one of the most 0:46:56.080 --> 0:46:57.800 important things we want to fix. So you have to 0:46:57.840 --> 0:46:59.480 have a market, you want to have a market based system. 0:47:00.040 --> 0:47:02.319 Will have to start buying their own insurance, and they 0:47:02.400 --> 0:47:04.240 have to be free to buy the kind of insurance 0:47:04.239 --> 0:47:05.960 that they want, not the kind of insurance, but the 0:47:06.040 --> 0:47:09.040 federal government tells them to buy. You know, you'll also 0:47:09.160 --> 0:47:12.279 hear of it that there's that there will get that 0:47:12.400 --> 0:47:14.759 we get worse. This is one of the big talking 0:47:14.800 --> 0:47:17.120 points from left of the time, we have worse outcomes 0:47:17.200 --> 0:47:19.160 and spend more money. You've already addressed the we are 0:47:19.200 --> 0:47:20.799 spending more money. We spend a lot of the government 0:47:20.800 --> 0:47:22.440 spends a lot of money on healthcare in this country, 0:47:22.440 --> 0:47:24.440 and the American people spend a lot of money in healthcare. 0:47:24.920 --> 0:47:29.279 But how do you address the outcomes issue? Yeah, it's 0:47:29.320 --> 0:47:33.120 true that inaggregate, in certain ways we have worse outcomes, 0:47:33.200 --> 0:47:35.440 like our life expectancy is lower and things like that. 0:47:36.239 --> 0:47:39.480 You have to kind of unpack those statistics because if 0:47:39.520 --> 0:47:42.600 you look at the white population the United States, it's 0:47:42.640 --> 0:47:45.560 pretty comparable to Europe in terms of health outcomes. Where 0:47:45.920 --> 0:47:49.480 where we really fail is with racial and ethnic minorities, 0:47:49.520 --> 0:47:52.959 particularly blacks. And obviously the reason why that's the case 0:47:53.200 --> 0:47:56.040 is not because of the healthcare system necessarily, it's about 0:47:56.080 --> 0:47:59.400 the broader the legacy of slavery and segregation and the 0:48:00.320 --> 0:48:03.360 poverty that a lot of urban blocks find themselves in. 0:48:03.480 --> 0:48:05.960 So that's like, so, yeah, you know, the whole thing 0:48:06.000 --> 0:48:09.760 about health outcomes, it's it's it's a complicated subject because 0:48:09.800 --> 0:48:12.840 how much of what we call health insurance relates to 0:48:12.960 --> 0:48:17.080 the reasons why low income minorities struggle in America's well. 0:48:17.080 --> 0:48:19.640 And also we have we do have higher rates of 0:48:19.800 --> 0:48:23.640 obesity type two, by diabetes, heart conditions, and those are 0:48:24.120 --> 0:48:28.719 diseases generally diseases of lifestyle, right, so, and Americans are 0:48:28.840 --> 0:48:31.400 noticeably less healthy. This is the one thing where Europeans, 0:48:31.400 --> 0:48:34.319 I think, do this in soccer. Europeans are better than us. 0:48:34.760 --> 0:48:37.360 But whatever, we get to eat better, more delicious cheeseburgers. Oh, 0:48:37.560 --> 0:48:38.759 can we hold it through the breaks? I got a 0:48:38.760 --> 0:48:40.960 few more questions. I want to I want to take 0:48:41.000 --> 0:48:42.840 the Ovic arsenal and make it my own so that 0:48:42.880 --> 0:48:44.640 when I have to go talk to libs on this one, 0:48:45.040 --> 0:48:47.960 I can crush them. Everywhere we're talking to Ovic Roy. 0:48:48.200 --> 0:48:50.200 He is the man on this issue, the president for 0:48:50.280 --> 0:48:53.920 the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity Free Up dot org. 0:48:54.040 --> 0:48:58.520 We'll be right back morning. Coffee is in American institutions 0:48:58.560 --> 0:49:01.239 more American than apple pie, And unlike apple pie, you 0:49:01.280 --> 0:49:03.160 actually needed to get your day started if you're me. 0:49:03.320 --> 0:49:05.680 That's why I always kick it off the right way 0:49:06.040 --> 0:49:10.080 with the most freedom loving, patriotic coffee on the market, 0:49:10.480 --> 0:49:13.000 Black Rifle Coffee.

All right, we're 0:49:57.120 --> 0:50:00.600 back with oh Vic Roy from the Founda for Research 0:50:00.680 --> 0:50:02.800 on Equal opportunity where he is the president, he is 0:50:02.800 --> 0:50:05.839 a healthcare expert legitimately actually has an MD, which I'm 0:50:05.840 --> 0:50:08.920 always very impressed by people in the media generally, you know, 0:50:09.160 --> 0:50:11.239 they think that a one year journalism degrees is a 0:50:11.320 --> 0:50:17.640 fancy thing. Um Ovic, Kempbell Harris is talking about replacing 0:50:17.760 --> 0:50:21.279 all private health insurance. Now, I had always thought and 0:50:21.440 --> 0:50:23.520 and it makes sense at least when you when you 0:50:23.600 --> 0:50:26.719 first run the numbers on it, that the one thing 0:50:26.880 --> 0:50:32.120 that makes the Democrat goal impossible of single payer or 0:50:32.239 --> 0:50:35.360 medicare for all of that system is that you're going 0:50:35.440 --> 0:50:37.200 to have to tell ninety percent of people who have 0:50:37.280 --> 0:50:40.840 private health insurance, sorry, your plan is gone. Is that 0:50:41.120 --> 0:50:44.640 the bulwork against this that we would like it to be? 0:50:44.920 --> 0:50:48.840 And if not, how would a president President Warren Harris 0:50:48.920 --> 0:50:52.000 Sanders implement this vision as you see it? Like, what, 0:50:52.280 --> 0:50:55.680 how do we know that this is actually happening? Well, 0:50:55.719 --> 0:50:58.040 first of all, it's not ninety percent of Americans who 0:50:58.080 --> 0:51:01.480 have private health insurance. It's more like sixty percent of 0:51:01.520 --> 0:51:05.160 Americans have private health insurance, forty percent I'm sorry, who 0:51:05.200 --> 0:51:07.960 have coverage, right, yeah, yeah, go ahead, yeah for you know, 0:51:08.360 --> 0:51:10.719 nine percent half health insurance. Yeah, of the ninety percent 0:51:10.760 --> 0:51:14.080 who have health insurance, sixty percent have through the through 0:51:14.440 --> 0:51:16.719 private insurers, and forty percent half through the government. So, 0:51:16.800 --> 0:51:19.279 for example, the people who are on Medicaid, the people 0:51:19.280 --> 0:51:21.520 who are on Medicare, Medicare is basically a single parent 0:51:21.600 --> 0:51:24.879 fayre insure UM. That's why they call it Medicare for all. 0:51:25.120 --> 0:51:27.320 People who are on the VA, people who are on 0:51:27.480 --> 0:51:30.799 active duty military Defense Department healthcare. That's so almost half 0:51:30.840 --> 0:51:33.600 of the covered population is already getting some form of 0:51:33.719 --> 0:51:37.719 government involved healthcare. Yeah, I mean, yeah, forty percent. So 0:51:37.880 --> 0:51:40.799 that's that's the thing. So you know, that's that's why, 0:51:41.000 --> 0:51:42.920 that's what they're trying to build on. And that's why 0:51:43.000 --> 0:51:46.000 when they stay say Medicare for all, because Medicare it's 0:51:46.040 --> 0:51:48.719 single payer healthcare. And there are you know, seventy million 0:51:48.760 --> 0:51:52.279 people on Medicare, and there are another sixty million people 0:51:52.320 --> 0:51:55.040 on Medicaid UM. And then there's the ten million on 0:51:55.200 --> 0:51:57.759 the VA, and and and then the five million or 0:51:57.840 --> 0:52:00.239 whatever the number is, I can't remember exactly for ACTI 0:52:00.280 --> 0:52:02.239 duty military. A lot of people, if you add it 0:52:02.239 --> 0:52:05.520 all up, who are already on government run healthcare. So 0:52:06.120 --> 0:52:08.560 we don't have this free market system. That's the first 0:52:08.600 --> 0:52:12.839 thing to appreciate. But you're right that when Kamala Harris says, oh, yeah, 0:52:12.960 --> 0:52:16.080 you know, let's eliminate your private insurance and replace it 0:52:16.160 --> 0:52:18.960 with government insurance, that's yeah. Maybe some people on the 0:52:19.040 --> 0:52:22.120 left are looking forward to that time when they can 0:52:22.320 --> 0:52:25.000 trade in their private insurance for government interns, but lots 0:52:25.040 --> 0:52:29.040 of other people are not. And so yes, I don't 0:52:29.080 --> 0:52:32.480 think that single payer in that sense is likely. But 0:52:33.520 --> 0:52:37.680 as we know, that hasn't stopped Democrats from expanding the 0:52:37.760 --> 0:52:40.520 reach of government to have a public option, say, or 0:52:40.600 --> 0:52:43.680 to decrease the eligibility age of Medicare from sixty five 0:52:43.760 --> 0:52:46.360 to fifty five, and all these kind of chip away, 0:52:46.520 --> 0:52:50.080 incremental kind of things that they can do to expand 0:52:50.160 --> 0:52:52.640 the reach and role of government insurance. So just because 0:52:53.040 --> 0:52:57.400 single payer can't be achieved in one cell swoop, that 0:52:57.560 --> 0:53:01.200 doesn't mean that conservatives are in the clear. And again, 0:53:01.600 --> 0:53:04.640 you can't beat something with nothing. The healthcare system in 0:53:04.680 --> 0:53:10.640 America is legitimately broken, it's legitimately extremely expensive, and conservatives 0:53:10.680 --> 0:53:13.200 can't just sit around and say, oh, well, we're against socialism. 0:53:13.600 --> 0:53:16.840 The socialism is happening right now in terms of the 0:53:17.440 --> 0:53:22.280 insane profits that companies are making by basically being federally 0:53:22.400 --> 0:53:27.279 licensed monopolies instead of competitive markets. Who are the bad 0:53:27.360 --> 0:53:32.120 guys in this well, there's there's lots of bad guys 0:53:32.120 --> 0:53:34.200 and people. People beat up on the drug companies a lot. 0:53:34.239 --> 0:53:37.319 I mean, who else goes on that list? I put 0:53:37.360 --> 0:53:40.640 the hospitals at number one because mainly, if you think 0:53:40.680 --> 0:53:44.000 about what we spend on healthcare in America, about a 0:53:44.080 --> 0:53:47.440 third of its hospital spending, about fifteen percent of as 0:53:47.520 --> 0:53:50.759 drugs and another twenty percent as doctors. I don't think 0:53:50.840 --> 0:53:53.480 doctors are the bad guys generally, though there are. There 0:53:53.520 --> 0:53:55.960 are some bad apples in the medical profession. We have 0:53:56.040 --> 0:53:58.400 to be honest about that. But really the hospitals and 0:53:58.440 --> 0:54:01.359 the drug companies are. That's half the spending, and if 0:54:01.400 --> 0:54:04.120 we actually were able to do something about those two pieces, 0:54:04.560 --> 0:54:06.480 we do a lot to make healthcare more afforable. And 0:54:06.480 --> 0:54:09.640 I will say the Trumpet administration has been really smart 0:54:10.239 --> 0:54:13.520 and savvy about how they've tried to reduce the cost 0:54:13.560 --> 0:54:15.879 of prescription drugs. There's a lot of stuff that they're 0:54:15.960 --> 0:54:18.600 doing that I think deserves a lot more attention and 0:54:18.840 --> 0:54:22.279 praise from conservatives than I think has been appreciated on 0:54:22.400 --> 0:54:27.480 the hospital side. The Indiana Republican congressman named Jim Banks 0:54:27.880 --> 0:54:30.320 from northeast Indiana just put out a bill called the 0:54:30.440 --> 0:54:34.279 Hospital Competition Act, which is a terrific bill that really 0:54:34.360 --> 0:54:37.839 tries to tackle the problem of regional hospital monopolies which 0:54:37.880 --> 0:54:41.160 have merged with other crosstown rivals to build these big 0:54:41.239 --> 0:54:44.600 monopolies where they can basically tell insurers, we're going to 0:54:44.680 --> 0:54:46.520 jack up the price of a knee replacement by ten 0:54:46.600 --> 0:54:49.000 percent this year, and you have to eat it because 0:54:49.400 --> 0:54:51.840 the insurer doesn't have any bargaining part. Because the insurer 0:54:51.880 --> 0:54:54.520 can't send its patience to another hospital because there is 0:54:54.600 --> 0:54:58.200 no other hospital. One hospital system owns all the hospitals 0:54:58.239 --> 0:55:01.359 in a community. So that's becoming huge problem, and that's 0:55:01.400 --> 0:55:04.799 why private health insurance has become a lot more expensive 0:55:05.239 --> 0:55:09.000 than Medicare and medicaid. The government, for all of its flaws, 0:55:09.320 --> 0:55:10.960 you know you can't you can't you know you can't 0:55:11.000 --> 0:55:13.080 be you can't dictate prices to the government. The government 0:55:13.120 --> 0:55:16.320 dictates prices to you, right, whereas for the private insurers, 0:55:16.360 --> 0:55:20.320 they don't have that same ability. So private insurance is 0:55:20.320 --> 0:55:22.719 steadily getting more and more expensive, and that's why you're 0:55:22.719 --> 0:55:26.160 seeing more and more Americans say, you know what, I 0:55:26.680 --> 0:55:28.799 used to believe in the private sector system, but I'm 0:55:28.840 --> 0:55:31.560 I'm I'm more open minded about single pare now because 0:55:31.600 --> 0:55:34.840 I'm sick of getting higher premiums and a flat paycheck 0:55:34.920 --> 0:55:37.919 every month. What does Trump need to do going into 0:55:38.000 --> 0:55:40.120 what's You know it's going to be a highly contentious election. 0:55:40.160 --> 0:55:42.200 We've only got about a minute, ovic, But what's your 0:55:42.280 --> 0:55:46.640 minute elevator pitch for the president on what the GOP 0:55:46.880 --> 0:55:51.040 Trump planned for healthcare, which you admit is expensive and problematic, 0:55:51.120 --> 0:55:53.520 what it needs to be. He's got to do what 0:55:53.640 --> 0:55:56.440 he's doing on drug prices for every sector of the 0:55:56.520 --> 0:55:59.360 healthcare system. There needs to be a Trump blueprint to 0:55:59.480 --> 0:56:02.600 lower the cause of hospital prices, a Trump blueprint to 0:56:02.920 --> 0:56:06.240 lower the cost of physician office visits, a Trump blueprint 0:56:06.280 --> 0:56:09.160 to lower the cost of lab tests and medical devices. 0:56:09.520 --> 0:56:11.960 You do that, you have a real plan to attack 0:56:12.040 --> 0:56:15.279 all the ways in which federal policy have distorted these 0:56:15.360 --> 0:56:17.960 markets and driven up prices. You're going to have something 0:56:18.200 --> 0:56:21.120 really strong and really persuade it to talk about. That's 0:56:21.160 --> 0:56:24.040 a lot less disruptive than single payer, but has a 0:56:24.120 --> 0:56:27.960 lot of the benefits purported benefits in terms of cost savings. Oh, 0:56:28.080 --> 0:56:30.880 vic Roy, everybody. As advertised, he is the man on 0:56:30.960 --> 0:56:34.279 this issue, President for the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity. 0:56:34.719 --> 0:56:38.239 Free opt dot org is his site. Ovic, we all 0:56:38.320 --> 0:56:40.239 know more about single payer than we did when we 0:56:40.280 --> 0:56:42.319 started this interview. So thank you so much, my friend. 0:56:42.360 --> 0:56:46.480 Always good to have you on the show. Thanks Buck team. 0:56:47.360 --> 0:56:50.279 Who man, I'm gonna let the class out for a minute. Here, 0:56:50.320 --> 0:56:52.279 catch your breath. We'll come right back at a moment. 0:56:52.360 --> 0:56:56.000 Stay with me. Communities of color are usually much further 0:56:56.120 --> 0:57:02.919 to the left than white liberals because racism, colonialism are 0:57:03.239 --> 0:57:06.319 we understand through lived experience in a way that many 0:57:06.480 --> 0:57:11.800 don't understand that these are issues that are part of 0:57:12.480 --> 0:57:18.920 a hypercapitalist framework. You know, black folks are descendants of 0:57:19.040 --> 0:57:25.040 slaves that were imported quote unquote by slave owners to 0:57:25.360 --> 0:57:29.600 the United States for the explicit purpose of cultivating crops, 0:57:30.120 --> 0:57:36.240 and it was predicated on white supremacy and racial superiority. 0:57:36.720 --> 0:57:39.680 But we have to understand that white supremacy exists for 0:57:39.840 --> 0:57:44.320 a reason. There's so much that we have to we 0:57:44.400 --> 0:57:49.560 can delve into their Obviously, that's aoc Alexandra Ocasio Cortez, 0:57:50.880 --> 0:57:57.760 who is speaking in the leftist lingo that unfortunately has 0:57:58.000 --> 0:58:02.360 has become to dominate the faculty lounges of many college campuses, 0:58:02.400 --> 0:58:06.280 and it is now with the rise of quote woke 0:58:06.480 --> 0:58:11.600 journalism is now increasingly commonplace in newsrooms and for major websites. 0:58:11.680 --> 0:58:20.720 And there are just these these very overwrought, historically problematic 0:58:21.040 --> 0:58:27.520 or at least unfinished, selective in their discussion of capitalism, colonialism, 0:58:27.520 --> 0:58:31.680 and many of these things. But these phrases that are 0:58:31.760 --> 0:58:36.800 usually in place of any thoughtful discourse on these issues. 0:58:37.800 --> 0:58:40.560 That's and by the way, even the word discourse they 0:58:40.640 --> 0:58:42.160 use it on the left so much you can I 0:58:42.240 --> 0:58:44.120 can tell what someone's politics are now. I mean, this 0:58:44.280 --> 0:58:46.920 is maybe a good way of getting in and getting 0:58:46.920 --> 0:58:50.680 into this. I can tell what someone's politics are based 0:58:50.760 --> 0:58:54.040 on the words they use to talk about issues. I 0:58:54.120 --> 0:58:57.160 don't mean the words they use to describe a position. 0:58:57.800 --> 0:59:00.840 I mean I can just hear someone discussing something. And 0:59:01.200 --> 0:59:04.520 you know, for example, people who who use the phrase 0:59:05.680 --> 0:59:10.200 communities of color frequently are going to be on the left. 0:59:10.520 --> 0:59:14.560 People who will talk about a legacy of colonialism in 0:59:14.640 --> 0:59:17.680 the year twenty nineteen are going to be on the left. 0:59:17.680 --> 0:59:19.640 I mean, there's all these different things, and there's even 0:59:19.720 --> 0:59:23.520 more instructive, and I think specific examples in that just 0:59:23.640 --> 0:59:29.840 the certain words, the usage of justice without any explanation 0:59:29.960 --> 0:59:33.120 for what kind of justice? What does that mean? And 0:59:33.280 --> 0:59:35.480 this is why you'll hear me say on this show frequently, 0:59:35.560 --> 0:59:37.400 what do they mean by that? What does that mean? 0:59:37.640 --> 0:59:42.080 They use words without establishing the underlying meaning of what 0:59:42.240 --> 0:59:45.880 they're saying or without any clarity. Right, They're going for 0:59:46.280 --> 0:59:50.200 an emotional response that they know that this is this 0:59:50.440 --> 0:59:54.120 is setting off certain synapses in the brain, right, certain 0:59:54.240 --> 0:59:59.960 firing of neurons happens when people here buzzwords on the left, 1:00:00.280 --> 1:00:02.560 they immediately start to think, this is a friendly, this 1:00:02.720 --> 1:00:04.520 is a person that I agree with, and this these 1:00:04.560 --> 1:00:06.760 are good things. These are things that I like, And 1:00:07.160 --> 1:00:09.760 it's it's an essential part of understanding left wing communication. 1:00:09.840 --> 1:00:15.320 This is why I use these terms like, uh, you know, intersectionality, 1:00:15.720 --> 1:00:18.760 and we talk about people being woke, and we talk 1:00:18.800 --> 1:00:22.200 about dead naming, and I try to familiarize you with 1:00:22.600 --> 1:00:29.320 leftist jargon one to expose usually how just thoroughly intellectually 1:00:29.440 --> 1:00:31.480 bankrupt it all is. I mean, just these ideas and 1:00:31.600 --> 1:00:35.680 concepts fall apart under the weight of their own contradictions. 1:00:35.800 --> 1:00:39.120 That's that's one reason why, but also to understand that 1:00:39.240 --> 1:00:46.080 they are really creating their own, really professional language for 1:00:46.600 --> 1:00:50.600 mobilization and activism, and that this is now creeping into 1:00:50.640 --> 1:00:54.280 our pilot. And that's why I get so agitated over 1:00:54.360 --> 1:00:58.080 things like undocumented migrant, which is the latest. You know, 1:00:58.280 --> 1:01:02.280 they're just undocumented people moving who want work. That's a 1:01:02.400 --> 1:01:05.000 long way from illegal alien and there where there are 1:01:05.000 --> 1:01:07.920 a lot of steps in between. But that change in 1:01:08.040 --> 1:01:12.480 language is a conscious choice. Do not just let that slip. 1:01:12.880 --> 1:01:15.320 Do not all of a sudden decide that you know 1:01:15.440 --> 1:01:18.040 you're you're going to to give in to however they 1:01:18.120 --> 1:01:20.240 want you to speak about these things, because your word 1:01:20.800 --> 1:01:25.919 choice matters. Your word choice matters. And that little rant 1:01:26.000 --> 1:01:30.680 from o'cazio Cortez saying that communities of color are quote 1:01:30.840 --> 1:01:33.040 much further to the left than white liberals because of 1:01:33.160 --> 1:01:38.640 racism and colonialism, First of all, that's not true. I mean, 1:01:39.120 --> 1:01:40.600 this is where you have to get into what is 1:01:41.080 --> 1:01:43.760 further to left. How I don't think there. I don't 1:01:43.760 --> 1:01:47.120 think there is a further to the left than what 1:01:47.360 --> 1:01:51.640 you're hearing from some open socialists who are you know, 1:01:51.720 --> 1:01:56.200 white socialists and the Bernie Sanders mold. What She's really 1:01:56.240 --> 1:02:00.560 addressing is that there is an increasing radicalism of thought 1:02:01.000 --> 1:02:05.080 within some communities of color because they're being constantly told 1:02:05.120 --> 1:02:11.000 and this is this is combustible, This is dangerous. They 1:02:11.040 --> 1:02:15.000 are being told by the media, and whether it's media 1:02:15.040 --> 1:02:18.360 commentators who are minorities themselves or who are white liberals 1:02:18.440 --> 1:02:21.040 who are exploiting these narratives for their own purposes, whether 1:02:21.120 --> 1:02:24.680 it's ratings or just virtue signaling. But communities of color 1:02:24.680 --> 1:02:28.080 are increasingly being told in this country by the media 1:02:28.240 --> 1:02:34.000 and by politicians like AOC that white supremacy is on 1:02:34.040 --> 1:02:37.440 the rise, that the president is a white supremacist. Hakeem Jeffries, 1:02:38.320 --> 1:02:41.320 who is a member of Congress, referred to the President 1:02:41.320 --> 1:02:43.880 of the United States as the Grand Wizard of Pennsylvania Avenue. 1:02:45.360 --> 1:02:49.400 This is incredibly destructive, This is incredibly divisive in a 1:02:49.520 --> 1:02:52.400 way that you and I might be able to say, well, 1:02:52.520 --> 1:02:56.080 these are just reckless politicians and demagogues doing what they do. 1:02:56.720 --> 1:02:59.320 But some people, and I would argue a lot of 1:02:59.360 --> 1:03:03.080 people will hear this and think, wow, the other side 1:03:03.320 --> 1:03:07.880 on this, which is effectively in their version of events. 1:03:07.920 --> 1:03:11.680 In the left wing communities of color version of this narrative, 1:03:11.680 --> 1:03:16.360 the other side is white male Republicans. That's that's the 1:03:16.520 --> 1:03:20.640 other that is what is being otherised here actively. And 1:03:21.200 --> 1:03:25.880 you know, you see this celebratory tone at the demise 1:03:26.280 --> 1:03:29.000 of the white male majority of the media celebrates this 1:03:29.200 --> 1:03:32.840 very openly, and they encourage people to think increasingly in 1:03:33.040 --> 1:03:39.200 terms of racial power disparities, and they encourage non white 1:03:39.360 --> 1:03:45.280 minorities to use their group status, their their group identity 1:03:45.760 --> 1:03:48.560 as a means of achieving greater power over the other. 1:03:50.320 --> 1:03:53.000 This is not going to lead to good things. This 1:03:53.200 --> 1:03:56.160 is not going to lead to happy places. But this 1:03:56.440 --> 1:04:03.800 is now central to the left wing Democrat approach to 1:04:03.920 --> 1:04:08.800 politics to mobilize as now I'm saying it because I 1:04:08.840 --> 1:04:10.960 brought up before communities of color. To mobilize the minority 1:04:11.000 --> 1:04:14.920 population in this country as a racial and ethnic block 1:04:15.480 --> 1:04:20.800 against the Republican predominantly but not entirely white majority. Is 1:04:21.800 --> 1:04:25.720 a racializing of politics that is not going to have 1:04:25.960 --> 1:04:28.120 any This is not going to end well, This is 1:04:28.160 --> 1:04:30.160 not going to be positive for the country. This is 1:04:30.200 --> 1:04:32.960 something that has to be undone. This is a complete 1:04:33.000 --> 1:04:37.960 departure from the idea that this country is a was 1:04:38.040 --> 1:04:41.120 founded on an idea. Yes, it was imperfect, yes, in 1:04:41.240 --> 1:04:44.800 its time, there was tremendous injustice that was done slavery. 1:04:45.280 --> 1:04:48.000 There have been other injustices in this country's history too, 1:04:48.280 --> 1:04:54.040 Jim Crow segregation. But the basic idea of a country 1:04:54.160 --> 1:04:57.880 founded on an idea gives us at least the framework 1:04:57.960 --> 1:05:03.800 for not being a race segregated or racially based cast 1:05:03.920 --> 1:05:08.280 system like society. Right, we have that foundation in place. 1:05:09.040 --> 1:05:14.160 To constantly mobilize non white minorities for political and cultural 1:05:14.240 --> 1:05:21.240 purposes against the other, the white male conservative majority is 1:05:21.320 --> 1:05:25.200 to create a friction that I would argue undermines the 1:05:25.400 --> 1:05:30.040 most important shared principles and values of this country, which 1:05:30.120 --> 1:05:32.280 is that we are not supposed we are not defined 1:05:32.360 --> 1:05:39.400 by or dictated by our skin color or by our ethnicity. 1:05:39.520 --> 1:05:41.960 We actually have free will, free choice, and we are 1:05:42.040 --> 1:05:43.800 all equal in the law and equal in the eyes 1:05:43.840 --> 1:05:48.040 of God. And that people should choose their destinies, their beliefs, 1:05:48.080 --> 1:05:51.360 their futures freely, not based on what they have been 1:05:51.400 --> 1:05:56.440 told by others. Ocasio Cortez talking about a hyper capitalist framework. 1:05:56.840 --> 1:05:59.920 These are big words used by people who don't understand 1:06:00.000 --> 1:06:02.800 and big ideas. You're going to see a lot more 1:06:02.880 --> 1:06:06.600 of that on the left in this Democrat primary. These 1:06:06.640 --> 1:06:09.200 are people who pick and choose different aspects of history 1:06:09.240 --> 1:06:13.400 without understanding the fuller context. Because generally on the left 1:06:13.520 --> 1:06:17.600 you have some of the biggest demagogues on politics, who 1:06:17.640 --> 1:06:19.960 are held up as being the leading lights of the 1:06:20.160 --> 1:06:25.800 progressive wing of the Democratic Party are not particularly well 1:06:25.880 --> 1:06:29.720 read and not insightful on any aspects of American life. 1:06:29.760 --> 1:06:32.640 They just know how to agitate. They know how to 1:06:32.800 --> 1:06:38.120 push buttons. They understand how powerful envy is when mobilized. 1:06:38.160 --> 1:06:43.560 They understand how powerful class warfare can be in the 1:06:43.680 --> 1:06:46.120 hands of somebody who does not mind what they are 1:06:46.160 --> 1:06:51.520 tearing down or burning down in the process. Take AOC seriously, 1:06:52.160 --> 1:06:56.640 because I assure you, despite her ignorance, her inability to 1:06:56.760 --> 1:07:00.840 grasp very important, very basic concepts of governance, the left 1:07:00.880 --> 1:07:04.640 will take her seriously and enough people will emotionally attach 1:07:04.720 --> 1:07:09.640 to her ideas that the falsehood that is baked into 1:07:09.920 --> 1:07:13.439 into much, if not all, of it won't matter. Enough 1:07:15.000 --> 1:07:20.360 got more common stay with me. Can America work productively 1:07:20.640 --> 1:07:26.960 towards adjust and lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians, in 1:07:27.080 --> 1:07:31.600 your opinion, by having an equal approach to dealing with both. 1:07:32.360 --> 1:07:34.680 Most of the things that have always been aggravating to 1:07:34.800 --> 1:07:38.280 me is that we have had a policy that makes 1:07:38.360 --> 1:07:41.720 one superior to the other, and we mask it with 1:07:41.800 --> 1:07:46.120 a conversation that's about justice and two state solution. When 1:07:46.200 --> 1:07:52.120 you have policies that clearly prioritize one over the other, 1:07:52.560 --> 1:07:56.960 such a us, I mean, just our relationship really with 1:07:57.720 --> 1:08:01.240 this Raeli government and this israelis eate and so when 1:08:01.360 --> 1:08:06.880 I see is right, you'll institute um law that that 1:08:07.080 --> 1:08:09.880 recognizes it as a as a as a Jewish state 1:08:10.320 --> 1:08:14.960 and does not recognize um the other religions that are 1:08:15.120 --> 1:08:17.400 that are living in it, and we still uphold it 1:08:17.479 --> 1:08:20.920 as a democracy in the Middle East. I almost chuckle 1:08:21.080 --> 1:08:25.320 because I know that if you know we we we 1:08:25.560 --> 1:08:29.760 say we see that in any other society, we would 1:08:30.120 --> 1:08:32.240 criticize it, we would call it out. We do that 1:08:32.360 --> 1:08:35.400 to Iran, We do that to any other place that 1:08:35.560 --> 1:08:42.240 sort of upholds its religion. So that is your You're 1:08:42.400 --> 1:08:48.280 you're new and exciting to the left. Congresswoman from Minnesota, 1:08:48.840 --> 1:08:51.960 Ilhan Omar, who's all who's made quite a splash in 1:08:52.040 --> 1:08:56.760 a very short short period of time with her not 1:08:56.960 --> 1:09:02.080 so subtle implied homophobia and now with her commentary about 1:09:02.120 --> 1:09:03.800 israel I mean, this is somebody who clearly has a 1:09:03.880 --> 1:09:09.040 real problem with Israel, and that's for a lot of 1:09:09.120 --> 1:09:12.560 folks starts to get pretty close to sounding like anti semitism, 1:09:12.600 --> 1:09:14.080 if they're not already there. Some of you're like, no, 1:09:14.160 --> 1:09:18.080 Bucket is just anti semitism. But notice the way that 1:09:18.160 --> 1:09:21.800 she discusses this, and you know, look there's the foreign 1:09:21.840 --> 1:09:23.759 policies oude of this, which maybe is not as interesting 1:09:23.800 --> 1:09:26.960 to you, interesting to you, but the reason that the 1:09:27.160 --> 1:09:32.160 left does not like Israel there are many reasons, right, 1:09:32.200 --> 1:09:34.680 but the reasons why there is this and keep it. 1:09:34.800 --> 1:09:36.560 There are Democrats who are very proist. Well, I know 1:09:36.640 --> 1:09:38.519 that I'm really talking about the left here. This is 1:09:38.560 --> 1:09:41.519 where the separation of the apparatus of the Democratic Party 1:09:41.840 --> 1:09:46.800 and the ideological hard left there is a thing there. 1:09:46.920 --> 1:09:51.840 You know, you do have Democrats who are members of Congress, 1:09:52.280 --> 1:09:55.439 for example, who are at least outwardly very pro Israel, 1:09:56.280 --> 1:09:58.200 even though they're pretty leftists on a lot of things. 1:09:58.600 --> 1:10:01.160 But the hard left of the Democrat Party, the kind 1:10:01.200 --> 1:10:04.839 of big progress move on Dot org types, the ilhan 1:10:04.920 --> 1:10:09.080 omars of the party are anti Israel because to them, 1:10:10.120 --> 1:10:16.559 in this ideology of post colonialism, intersectionality, and social justice, 1:10:16.640 --> 1:10:20.400 these different concepts that the left holds as as really 1:10:20.800 --> 1:10:25.559 the primary organizing narratives for our day to day lives. 1:10:26.040 --> 1:10:29.559 Israel is like a violator on all these different fronts. 1:10:29.800 --> 1:10:33.200 In their minds, Israel is a colonial outpost in the 1:10:33.240 --> 1:10:36.720 Middle East. It is white, even though, of course, when 1:10:36.760 --> 1:10:40.840 you talk about white and oppression that white Jewish people 1:10:41.000 --> 1:10:42.920 in Israel, I think would have a lot of a 1:10:43.000 --> 1:10:46.240 lot of things to say about a history of oppression 1:10:46.320 --> 1:10:48.160 and what that has been like and what that has 1:10:48.200 --> 1:10:53.200 meant globally and for a few millennia. But you know, 1:10:53.760 --> 1:10:58.880 the left just sees it in this very this very straightforward, 1:10:58.920 --> 1:11:05.800 and I would argue, very wrong headed and completely decontextualized context, 1:11:06.160 --> 1:11:10.400 or rather decontextualized fashion, decontextualized context. Buck, come on, let's 1:11:10.439 --> 1:11:14.840 get it together. Uh. Where they're they're white, they're colonial 1:11:15.000 --> 1:11:19.040 their first world, they're pro American their democracy. Therefore Israel's 1:11:19.080 --> 1:11:23.000 a problem. Therefore it's oppressive. And they also view Islam, 1:11:23.040 --> 1:11:24.840 even though it's the second largest religion as the world, 1:11:24.920 --> 1:11:28.640 as a non white and oppressed religion. And really, you know, 1:11:28.760 --> 1:11:30.680 you look at the way she talks about Israel and 1:11:30.840 --> 1:11:33.639 that it's it's character of a Jewish state she finds 1:11:33.680 --> 1:11:37.439 inherently problematic. Meanwhile, think of all this, Think of all 1:11:37.479 --> 1:11:39.640 the states around the world, all the countries that are 1:11:40.000 --> 1:11:43.920 that are Muslim, and and there's no no one raises 1:11:43.960 --> 1:11:47.080 an issue with the idea of the Islamic Republic of 1:11:47.640 --> 1:11:49.720 and not just Iran. She goes to Iran, which is 1:11:49.800 --> 1:11:52.840 particularly crazy, But all these other countries are Islamic, and 1:11:52.920 --> 1:11:55.120 no one suggesting to them that they have to go 1:11:55.240 --> 1:11:59.840 through mass immigration, that they have to have you know, 1:12:00.120 --> 1:12:04.320 Christianity put on the same footing in their national constitution 1:12:04.479 --> 1:12:06.640 or whatever as as as Islam is. I mean, no 1:12:06.720 --> 1:12:11.320 one even discusses that somehow it's always acceptable for Islam 1:12:11.439 --> 1:12:16.600 to be the only faith in a nation state. And 1:12:16.760 --> 1:12:20.000 Islam is held to this very different standard, this much 1:12:20.120 --> 1:12:24.880 lower standard than in our country Christianity and Judaism are 1:12:25.720 --> 1:12:29.120 in terms of its responsibility for the acts of its adherents. 1:12:29.200 --> 1:12:33.160 And and you hear ilhan Omar talking about this, and 1:12:33.240 --> 1:12:36.880 you just know that this is what she's saying in 1:12:36.960 --> 1:12:39.000 an interview. I really want to know what she says 1:12:39.120 --> 1:12:42.960 when the cameras are not rolling. I've heard I've had 1:12:43.080 --> 1:12:47.800 many Muslim, including Muslim leftist friends over over the years, 1:12:47.840 --> 1:12:51.200 and I've heard what they say about Israel when they're 1:12:51.240 --> 1:12:53.960 not when they think that they're around people that aren't 1:12:53.960 --> 1:12:55.880 going to repeat it. I mean, some of them don't 1:12:55.920 --> 1:12:58.000 necessarily know my politics that they would now, but many 1:12:58.080 --> 1:13:00.160 years ago when I was CIA, they wouldn't have known own. 1:13:01.080 --> 1:13:03.960 And the way that they talk about Israel, it's clear 1:13:04.080 --> 1:13:06.920 that it's not just they don't like Israeli policy. They 1:13:06.960 --> 1:13:09.720 don't like Israel. And with a lot of Muslims and 1:13:09.760 --> 1:13:11.880 a lot of the Muslim world, here's the truth. It's 1:13:11.920 --> 1:13:13.720 not just that they don't like Israeli policy or the 1:13:13.760 --> 1:13:15.960 state of Israel's a concept. It's that they don't like Jews. 1:13:16.240 --> 1:13:20.800 It's at their anti Semites. Anti Semitism is rampant in 1:13:20.880 --> 1:13:25.240 the Muslim world, and with some of the importation into 1:13:25.320 --> 1:13:30.320 this country of different beliefs and people of backgrounds where 1:13:30.320 --> 1:13:33.960 it's much more commonplace to be anti Semitic, we are seeing, 1:13:34.720 --> 1:13:38.120 I believe, a growing problem here on the left of 1:13:39.080 --> 1:13:44.000 real nasty, leftist anti semitism that the media is going 1:13:44.080 --> 1:13:47.360 to make excuses for because it crosses over with their 1:13:47.760 --> 1:13:52.120 oppression rhetoric about intersectionality. And you know, women from the 1:13:52.200 --> 1:13:54.640 Islamic world, like ilhan Omar and all the rest of it, 1:13:54.680 --> 1:13:58.000 they're gonna make excuses for leftist anti semitism. Mark my words, 1:13:58.360 --> 1:14:03.000 We'll be right back. Ipatriots dot us is a new 1:14:03.120 --> 1:14:07.679 conservative alternative to liberal based email services.

Look, border crossings are down. 1:15:04.400 --> 1:15:08.280 There is an increase of those attempting to apply for asylum, 1:15:08.520 --> 1:15:12.960 but they're handing themselves over to the authorities too. Statistically, 1:15:13.760 --> 1:15:16.639 immigrants are less likely to commit a crime than those 1:15:16.720 --> 1:15:20.840 of us that were born in the United States. So 1:15:21.400 --> 1:15:28.519 many lies, so little time. That's Democrat Congressman Gutierrez talking 1:15:28.560 --> 1:15:33.280 about immigrants, legal immigration. Let me take a chainsaw to 1:15:33.520 --> 1:15:39.360 this edifice of nonsense, now, shall we. It's just they 1:15:39.439 --> 1:15:44.080 just won't stop. They will not stop. This idea that 1:15:44.560 --> 1:15:49.480 crossings are down, therefore there is not a problem is nonsense. 1:15:50.400 --> 1:15:52.720 This would be like saying, okay, let's look at the 1:15:52.760 --> 1:15:55.800 opioid crisis. If the opioid crisis had been going on 1:15:56.160 --> 1:16:02.360 for thirty years and you went from seventy thousand dead 1:16:02.479 --> 1:16:05.320 a year to let's say it's a huge drop off 1:16:05.640 --> 1:16:08.719 thirty five thousand dead a year, but you've already racked 1:16:08.840 --> 1:16:13.320 up a body count of how many deaths over that 1:16:13.439 --> 1:16:15.880 period of time. You've already lost how many loved ones, 1:16:15.920 --> 1:16:19.000 how many brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, friends, family. 1:16:20.280 --> 1:16:23.920 That's a crisis and a continuing crisis. So I mean 1:16:24.000 --> 1:16:27.040 to say that because it's not the worst that it 1:16:27.120 --> 1:16:30.920 has ever been is to ignore the fact that just 1:16:31.040 --> 1:16:33.360 because something can be worse does not mean it is 1:16:33.840 --> 1:16:37.559 not a problem today. I hope my logic is I've 1:16:37.600 --> 1:16:40.479 explained that one with enough clarity here on the air. 1:16:41.840 --> 1:16:44.320 We already have, and I was happy to see Tucker 1:16:44.360 --> 1:16:47.960 Carlson last night say this, twenty million illegals in the country. 1:16:48.000 --> 1:16:50.120 It's not eleven million. That's a joke. It's at least 1:16:50.160 --> 1:16:52.679 twenty million. And that's not me just picking the number 1:16:52.680 --> 1:16:57.760 out of thin air. There are multiple math PhDs who've 1:16:57.760 --> 1:17:01.360 looked at the available hard data for illegal crossings and 1:17:01.520 --> 1:17:05.920 deportations over the last decade, and the idea that we 1:17:06.040 --> 1:17:10.920 are somehow not up by at least double what they're 1:17:10.960 --> 1:17:14.760 telling us is crazy. I mean, this is you look 1:17:14.800 --> 1:17:17.840 back in twenty ten, eleven million illegals. In two thousand 1:17:17.880 --> 1:17:21.960 and five, eleven million illegals. Last year eleven million illegals. No, 1:17:23.560 --> 1:17:27.720 I go speak to border patrol. You have fifty thousand 1:17:28.000 --> 1:17:31.320 people at a time now in a month who are 1:17:31.360 --> 1:17:34.280 showing up at the border. I mean thirty thousand family units. 1:17:35.200 --> 1:17:37.840 That's at least two individuals or families, not one. We 1:17:37.880 --> 1:17:39.479 haven't yet gotten to the point yet where people are 1:17:39.520 --> 1:17:44.920 identifying as as a family. So you know, this is 1:17:45.000 --> 1:17:48.120 just this is we are lied to and lied to 1:17:48.560 --> 1:17:52.320 and lied to so many times on this issue, and 1:17:52.800 --> 1:17:56.000 I think that the frustration, it look, it boils over 1:17:56.120 --> 1:17:58.920 when I'm talking about this, It obviously comes out in 1:17:59.479 --> 1:18:03.599 my I think it's why the White House today from 1:18:03.640 --> 1:18:06.519 their official Twitter account, as well as the President from 1:18:06.600 --> 1:18:10.439 his potus Twitter account, retweeted my article on the Hill 1:18:10.479 --> 1:18:13.720 from earlier this week on all of the scams that 1:18:13.840 --> 1:18:17.960 are being run. So Gudierres is being disingenuous with his 1:18:18.080 --> 1:18:21.720 Oh the numbers are down, well, they're down from completely 1:18:21.840 --> 1:18:27.920 unsustainable illegal invasion of the nineties and the early two 1:18:28.000 --> 1:18:30.479 and the early two thousands. Okay, yeah, they're down from that, 1:18:30.600 --> 1:18:33.840 but they're still unacceptably high. And there's already such a 1:18:34.040 --> 1:18:38.280 huge illegal population within the country that everyone who's showing 1:18:38.400 --> 1:18:42.920 up now is joining the ranks of an already unsustainable 1:18:43.080 --> 1:18:48.120 illegal issue. You know, this is like saying if you're 1:18:48.600 --> 1:18:51.479 if you're a million dollars in debt and you were 1:18:51.600 --> 1:18:54.840 spending fifty thousand dollars a month beyond your means, and 1:18:55.000 --> 1:18:57.920 now you're only spending twenty five thousand dollars a month 1:18:57.960 --> 1:18:59.960 beyond your means. And you say, well, bucket's no big problem. 1:19:00.000 --> 1:19:01.880 Look at how look at how far down it is. Yeah, 1:19:01.880 --> 1:19:03.719 but you already have a debt of a million dollars 1:19:03.800 --> 1:19:07.200 and you're still adding to it. We have twenty million illegals, 1:19:07.280 --> 1:19:10.559 and they're still adding to the number in large numbers, 1:19:10.640 --> 1:19:12.680 and we don't even know what the real number is. 1:19:14.040 --> 1:19:17.960 Half a million visa overstays a year, thirty thousand family 1:19:18.080 --> 1:19:20.400 units a month showing up at the southern border. That 1:19:20.479 --> 1:19:25.040 doesn't include unaccompanied minors, and it doesn't include illegal single 1:19:25.120 --> 1:19:31.519 adult male crossers. Goodierras is just full of it. He's 1:19:31.560 --> 1:19:33.200 just full of it. He either does. He's either just 1:19:33.360 --> 1:19:38.000 ignorant or he doesn't care. It's probably both. This notion 1:19:38.080 --> 1:19:40.680 that they're showing up to claim asylum. That's right. They 1:19:40.760 --> 1:19:43.000 claim asylum so they get into the interior of the 1:19:43.160 --> 1:19:46.400 US and then they know that there will be no enforcement. 1:19:48.240 --> 1:19:51.519 Less than one percent of those who enter the United 1:19:51.560 --> 1:19:57.840 States claiming asylum are expelled from the country through deportation, 1:19:58.840 --> 1:20:02.400 but ninet scent of those who claim asylum, do not 1:20:02.760 --> 1:20:05.680 qualify for it. So somebody explain those numbers to me. 1:20:06.160 --> 1:20:10.760 This is a massive backdoor in the United States, and 1:20:10.960 --> 1:20:15.559 any politician who tells you otherwise is a liar. A liar. 1:20:16.600 --> 1:20:22.800 Gutierrez is lying to you about this and then on 1:20:22.880 --> 1:20:25.439 this issue. Finally, of by the way, it was pretty 1:20:25.439 --> 1:20:29.200 cool to get the to have the potus account, which 1:20:29.240 --> 1:20:33.320 has twenty five million followers, tweet out an article that 1:20:33.400 --> 1:20:35.800 I am the author of. That was nice. I liked 1:20:35.880 --> 1:20:40.040 that high five. You haven't read it, you gotta check 1:20:40.080 --> 1:20:41.479 out my stuff on the Hill dot com on the 1:20:41.560 --> 1:20:45.720 written side the editorial page there, it's the crisis of 1:20:45.760 --> 1:20:49.280 the border is real and getting worse. And I just 1:20:49.400 --> 1:20:52.479 make this case to you based on the numbers, based 1:20:52.520 --> 1:20:54.400 on the schemes and the fraud, and based on now 1:20:54.479 --> 1:20:58.960 the increasing medical concerns and costs on the system of 1:20:59.040 --> 1:21:03.639 all of this. So you've got surging numbers fraud, fraud, 1:21:03.720 --> 1:21:07.120 fraud and lies everywhere from the migrants who are coming in, 1:21:07.760 --> 1:21:11.120 and medical costs that are about to get really, really heavy. 1:21:12.080 --> 1:21:14.799 You know. The smartest thing, I could now walk somebody 1:21:14.920 --> 1:21:18.080 through what the loopholes are in our immigration system, and 1:21:18.560 --> 1:21:21.360 they wouldn't be breaking the law necessarily. They're not breaking 1:21:21.400 --> 1:21:23.240 the law till they don't show up for their immigration hearing. 1:21:23.320 --> 1:21:26.839 I could walk somebody through that and you know, essentially 1:21:26.880 --> 1:21:28.640 guarantee that they'll get entry in the United States and 1:21:28.680 --> 1:21:31.520 don't have to worry about having to leave. That's unacceptable, 1:21:32.320 --> 1:21:38.120 completely unacceptable. But that's where we are. That's where the 1:21:38.479 --> 1:21:40.920 status quo has that's what the status quo has become. 1:21:41.800 --> 1:21:43.160 And then this thing of a good era is about 1:21:43.160 --> 1:21:45.080 how immigrants are less likely to commit a crime than 1:21:45.120 --> 1:21:49.519 those of us who are born in the US. That's 1:21:49.560 --> 1:21:53.120 just not true. It's only true if you make it 1:21:53.120 --> 1:21:55.759 about immigrants who are supposed to go through a screening process. 1:21:56.000 --> 1:21:58.479 When you add illegal immigrants into the equation, it is 1:21:58.560 --> 1:22:00.840 not true. And actually, I don't think that they should 1:22:00.840 --> 1:22:05.040 be conflating those two populations at all, because the issue 1:22:05.160 --> 1:22:08.760 is not with legal immigrants. Legal immigrants are welcome. Legal 1:22:08.800 --> 1:22:11.599 immigrants are Americans. They listen to this show, God bless 1:22:11.600 --> 1:22:14.120 you and thank you for giving me your time. Illegal 1:22:14.160 --> 1:22:17.519 immigrants are breaking the law, and they're doing so in 1:22:17.800 --> 1:22:22.840 a systematic fashion, with the assistance of the Democratic Party 1:22:22.920 --> 1:22:25.920 and a left wing media that is all is open 1:22:26.000 --> 1:22:30.559 borders in all but name. That's what's happening. And that's 1:22:30.560 --> 1:22:33.439 why I get frustrated when people say things like immigrants 1:22:33.439 --> 1:22:34.960 are less likely to commit crimes and those of us 1:22:34.960 --> 1:22:40.320 who are born in the US, that's dodging the issue. 1:22:40.400 --> 1:22:44.040 Are illegal immigrants apart from the crime of crossing in 1:22:44.080 --> 1:22:46.600 the country and the document fraud and the lying to 1:22:46.680 --> 1:22:51.200 federal officers and the you know, social security fraud and 1:22:51.320 --> 1:22:53.760 the welfare fraud, all those things that also happen in 1:22:53.840 --> 1:22:56.880 large numbers in illegal immigrant communities. They pretend like it doesn't, 1:22:56.880 --> 1:22:59.920 but it does. Apart from all of those violations of law, 1:23:00.160 --> 1:23:06.080 how many are actually in gangs' sexually assaulting people, murdering people, 1:23:06.120 --> 1:23:07.960 whether they're part of the I MS thirteen or some 1:23:08.080 --> 1:23:12.120 other gang, you know. That's that's that's the statistic that 1:23:12.160 --> 1:23:15.920 I would like to see. And it's so interesting, isn't 1:23:15.920 --> 1:23:19.800 it that the Democrat the knee jerk reaction from the 1:23:19.880 --> 1:23:23.800 Democrats is always that illegals are better than Americans. This 1:23:24.000 --> 1:23:26.880 is a mantra, This is a recurring theme in the 1:23:26.960 --> 1:23:32.120 Democrat party that illegals are better than the Americans of 1:23:32.320 --> 1:23:35.800 all ethnicities and backgrounds. Right, we have a quite a 1:23:35.920 --> 1:23:40.559 diverse population in America, and they're saying illegals who are 1:23:40.640 --> 1:23:45.360 predominantly from not entirely Mexico and Central America are better 1:23:45.439 --> 1:23:49.439 than Americans. It just seems a strange position to take 1:23:49.840 --> 1:23:55.200 for an American political party, but they understand that they 1:23:55.200 --> 1:23:57.560 will be the only political party with any power in 1:23:57.640 --> 1:24:00.760 this country if this continues. That's why they are all 1:24:01.040 --> 1:24:04.600 in on illegal immigration. And I keep saying this, and 1:24:04.840 --> 1:24:08.640 I hope somebody with the ability to get big Democrats 1:24:08.720 --> 1:24:13.800 like big Democrats. Big Democrats won't you know, they won't 1:24:13.960 --> 1:24:15.720 come on and debate me or argue with me. I mean, 1:24:15.800 --> 1:24:17.800 it's just that it's I'm too risky, right, what's the 1:24:17.920 --> 1:24:21.400 upside versus The downside is they get intellectually fileted like 1:24:21.479 --> 1:24:26.240 a fish. The upside for them is pretty minimal. So 1:24:26.439 --> 1:24:28.000 I can't get them. But somebody who is in a 1:24:28.040 --> 1:24:30.960 position to get a Democrat on the hot seat, you know, 1:24:31.240 --> 1:24:33.960 get Nancy Pelosi or get they just have to ask 1:24:34.000 --> 1:24:40.120 them to answer this question, why shouldn't Democrats before illegal immigration? 1:24:40.400 --> 1:24:42.479 They'll say, oh, because we want people to respect our laws. 1:24:42.520 --> 1:24:45.400 No no, no, no, no, that's not enough, because they're 1:24:45.439 --> 1:24:50.320 not respecting our laws. Why shouldn't illegal immigrants just come 1:24:50.360 --> 1:24:52.720 into the country as they please, or as they call them, 1:24:52.840 --> 1:24:57.640 undocumented immigrants. Why shouldn't they I can give you a 1:24:57.680 --> 1:25:01.160 whole bunch of reasons. Sovereignty, rule of law, all political cohesion, 1:25:01.280 --> 1:25:04.559 strain on resources, cultural assimilation. I'll go down the whole list. 1:25:05.960 --> 1:25:10.960 Democrats reject all of that, or from Brocall strombling about 1:25:11.040 --> 1:25:14.680 lauring Speirger English or bro call, there's not going to 1:25:14.720 --> 1:25:18.880 be a welcome of a country clawbone anymore. That's right. 1:25:19.560 --> 1:25:22.439 Brokaw got his hand caught in a little mouse trap. 1:25:23.280 --> 1:25:26.080 He said a little something naughty because he said you 1:25:26.080 --> 1:25:29.719 should learn English. You know he's He's stubbed his toe 1:25:29.920 --> 1:25:34.320 big time with that one, didn't he ouch? Not supposed, 1:25:34.439 --> 1:25:36.760 not supposed to tell people that, not supposed to say 1:25:37.479 --> 1:25:41.479 that assimilation means learning English. If assimilation does not mean 1:25:41.600 --> 1:25:45.400 learning English, what does assimilation mean? Does any anybody want 1:25:45.439 --> 1:25:47.840 to try that? I do object when I voted in 1:25:47.880 --> 1:25:51.040 New York City to the ballot being in five or 1:25:51.160 --> 1:25:54.720 six languages. I do object to that. I think that's 1:25:54.720 --> 1:25:58.120 a problem. Language is not about skin color, it's not 1:25:58.160 --> 1:26:03.400 about ethnicity. It's about national cohesion. And communication and shared 1:26:03.479 --> 1:26:08.360 culture and values. Those things all matter Democrats, We'll just 1:26:08.439 --> 1:26:11.400 throw that all aside. They'll throw any of this stuff aside, 1:26:11.439 --> 1:26:15.720 because ultimately, all that really matters to them is this relentless, 1:26:16.840 --> 1:26:21.519 endless pursuit of power and illegally. They've switched. They've switched 1:26:21.560 --> 1:26:24.040 the script on illegal immigration. They used to pretend that 1:26:24.520 --> 1:26:26.840 they were the protectors of the working class from illegal 1:26:26.880 --> 1:26:29.720 immigrant competition for jobs. That's not where their bread is 1:26:29.720 --> 1:26:35.040 buttered anymore. Now they are all about illegal aliens. I've 1:26:35.080 --> 1:26:37.120 been telling you about snippy dot com and the more 1:26:37.200 --> 1:26:39.960 stories you see about the way that Facebook and these 1:26:40.040 --> 1:26:44.000 other giants of the Internet treat your privacy, treat your data, 1:26:44.120 --> 1:26:47.439 and also push for progressive agenda items all the time, 1:26:47.840 --> 1:26:49.599 it's time for you to check out snippy dot com 1:26:49.720 --> 1:26:50.800 or right, you don't have to deal with that other 1:26:50.840 --> 1:26:53.840 stuff anymore.

It's not who 1:27:38.520 --> 1:27:41.719 we are as a nation. It's an old way of thinking. 1:27:42.120 --> 1:27:44.040 I hate the way. I think it's even more. I 1:27:44.160 --> 1:27:46.360 think it's wasteball. How are we a country that puts 1:27:46.400 --> 1:27:49.320 a wall between ourselves and an allied nation? A wall 1:27:49.439 --> 1:27:53.680 is an immoral symbol for our country. I mean, this 1:27:53.840 --> 1:27:57.559 is just stupidity. I have very little patients these days 1:27:57.680 --> 1:28:00.960 for politicians who go on TV and say that a 1:28:01.040 --> 1:28:03.559 wall is an immorality, that a wall won't work. All 1:28:03.640 --> 1:28:08.240 these different all these different things that they they bring 1:28:08.320 --> 1:28:14.639 together and they say they bleat these talking points. Four 1:28:14.760 --> 1:28:17.559 legs good, two legs bad. Some of people will catch 1:28:17.640 --> 1:28:20.240 that references our that's our random reference for today. Let's 1:28:20.240 --> 1:28:23.080 see who. Let's see who catches it. It's based on 1:28:23.120 --> 1:28:25.120 a homework assignment I gave the team a long time ago. 1:28:26.400 --> 1:28:29.760 So here's what happens. They go on TV, they say 1:28:29.800 --> 1:28:34.200 all of this. The American people, unfortunately, are still very influence, 1:28:34.200 --> 1:28:35.800 at least those who care about this, by what they 1:28:35.840 --> 1:28:38.400 see on TV. And so some of them will believe 1:28:38.439 --> 1:28:40.439 that walls don't work and that a wall is immoral. 1:28:40.880 --> 1:28:42.800 A lot of them will believe that Trump's willingness to 1:28:42.920 --> 1:28:46.320 hold up the government or hold up funding for part 1:28:46.400 --> 1:28:49.479 of the government because of the desire for a wall 1:28:49.640 --> 1:28:52.000 is irresponsible and whatever. And so the Democrats get their way, 1:28:52.080 --> 1:28:57.320 even though this is all built upon stupidity, and this 1:28:57.479 --> 1:29:00.799 is all built upon falsehood. A wall all is not immoral. 1:29:01.240 --> 1:29:03.000 If a wall is a moral, then border patrol is 1:29:03.040 --> 1:29:04.759 a moral. If border patrol is a moral, we should 1:29:04.760 --> 1:29:07.719 have open borders. This is not hard. The Left cannot 1:29:07.720 --> 1:29:10.479 win this argument. They are wrong. They do not believe 1:29:10.520 --> 1:29:13.479 in helping to secure the border. They like the status quo, 1:29:13.800 --> 1:29:16.120 which is not an open border. It is a porous border. 1:29:16.560 --> 1:29:20.200 It is thirty forty fifty thousand illegals a month, pouring 1:29:20.280 --> 1:29:24.160 in month after month after month. Anybody who tells you 1:29:24.520 --> 1:29:26.800 that an equivalent number are leaving this country to go 1:29:26.960 --> 1:29:29.639 back to Honduras or Mexico, which had been the that's 1:29:29.680 --> 1:29:31.920 the story, will sometimes here, Oh, well, the economy got bad, 1:29:31.960 --> 1:29:35.920 there's an outflow bull These people are idiots. A lot 1:29:36.000 --> 1:29:39.120 of stupidity out there, a lot of very self serving stupidity, unfortunately. 1:29:39.200 --> 1:29:43.200 But that's what you are coming across on the left 1:29:43.280 --> 1:29:46.880 and these Democrat circles where they say these things. And 1:29:47.520 --> 1:29:50.120 we still have not dealt with the underlying issues here. 1:29:50.160 --> 1:29:55.720 We still have not handled the problem of illegal immigration 1:29:55.920 --> 1:30:00.719 as it is presented to us today. And I played 1:30:00.800 --> 1:30:05.280 that that Tom Brokaw thing for you, and it's it's 1:30:05.400 --> 1:30:08.400 pretty amazing how much they john than Remember Tom Brokaw 1:30:08.479 --> 1:30:12.000 said that maybe illegals, or rather maybe some immigrant communities, 1:30:12.000 --> 1:30:14.720 the Latino community, needs to work a little harder at assimilation, 1:30:15.400 --> 1:30:17.040 you know. And I mean I would go as far 1:30:17.160 --> 1:30:19.599 to say, I don't want I don't think that ballots 1:30:19.640 --> 1:30:22.600 should be printed in other languages. I think that I 1:30:22.680 --> 1:30:24.799 don't think that schools should be taught at other languages. 1:30:25.320 --> 1:30:30.800 Language is an essential part of social and political and 1:30:31.080 --> 1:30:38.560 nation state, polity, political union, cohesion. Okay, essential, it is indispensable. 1:30:39.400 --> 1:30:43.000 How we communicate is also a function, or rather also 1:30:43.040 --> 1:30:47.640 affects how we see everything around us. That people are 1:30:47.680 --> 1:30:50.559 opposed to this notion just goes to show you how 1:30:50.640 --> 1:30:56.160 little they really care about a durable assimilation that would 1:30:56.160 --> 1:30:58.800 be happening over the course of year after year, because 1:30:58.840 --> 1:31:00.960 we're bringing in a million Lead Eagal immigrants a year, 1:31:02.000 --> 1:31:06.960 making them green card holders, permanent residence, etc. But here's 1:31:07.000 --> 1:31:08.920 what happens, you know, here's what happens to somebody like 1:31:09.120 --> 1:31:12.559 Tom Brokaw when they decide that he says something bad, 1:31:12.760 --> 1:31:18.839 NBC calls him out. Play Play thirteen, a former longtime 1:31:18.880 --> 1:31:21.040 anchor of this broadcast, is in the news tonight for 1:31:21.160 --> 1:31:24.320 comments he made Sunday on Meet the Press. The criticism 1:31:24.479 --> 1:31:28.040 was widespread and almost immediate. Les Or Tonight at NBC 1:31:28.160 --> 1:31:32.760 News spokesman tells me quote Tom's comments were inaccurate and inappropriate, 1:31:33.000 --> 1:31:37.960 and we're glad he apologized. How could it be inaccurate 1:31:38.560 --> 1:31:41.400 to say that people should try harder at assimilation, that's 1:31:41.400 --> 1:31:46.439 an opinion. How could it be inaccurate to say that 1:31:46.880 --> 1:31:49.960 people should learn English in this country? That's an opinion. 1:31:50.280 --> 1:31:54.080 It's a good opinion, by the way, But notice how 1:31:55.320 --> 1:31:59.160 they go to this place of not just opposing opposing 1:31:59.200 --> 1:32:01.320 what Tom brokas that. Look, I give credit to people 1:32:01.400 --> 1:32:04.360 when they say smart things. Whatever, whoever the person may be, 1:32:04.439 --> 1:32:06.439 If they say something that's correct or smart, I'm gonna 1:32:06.439 --> 1:32:11.040 say they are it is correct and they are smart. 1:32:12.280 --> 1:32:16.400 So Brokaw is forrest here to, you know, to eat 1:32:16.400 --> 1:32:18.920 a little humble pie, eat some crow. Why why can't 1:32:18.960 --> 1:32:22.160 we have this discussion? This is part of why, a 1:32:22.240 --> 1:32:24.920 big part of why Trump won. We're not allowed to 1:32:24.960 --> 1:32:29.280 discuss assimilation. We're not allowed discussion national discuss I need 1:32:29.320 --> 1:32:32.960 to speak English too, apparently, discuss a national language. We're 1:32:33.000 --> 1:32:36.360 not allowed to do that. How can that be shut off? 1:32:36.520 --> 1:32:39.840 How can we tell ourselves that we are having a 1:32:40.040 --> 1:32:44.000 real discussion, a real open debate about our immigration policy 1:32:44.920 --> 1:32:48.599 when anything you say about assimilation that takes into account 1:32:48.640 --> 1:32:51.240 the possibility that maybe immigrants have a role here. Illegal 1:32:51.280 --> 1:32:56.200 immigrants have a role here too. Maybe all immigrants have 1:32:56.280 --> 1:32:58.640 a role here too. That's not to say that there 1:32:58.640 --> 1:33:00.479 aren't some immigrants who are doing every thing and they're 1:33:00.600 --> 1:33:02.720 you know, they're great at being Americans. Obviously there are 1:33:02.720 --> 1:33:04.160 a lot of them, but I'm sure there are some 1:33:04.360 --> 1:33:05.920 who come here and think of this more as like 1:33:05.960 --> 1:33:09.120 a jobs program and maybe a soup kitchen. They don't 1:33:09.120 --> 1:33:13.559 really feel some attachment to this country. You know. English 1:33:13.600 --> 1:33:16.680 proficiency should be a precondition. It's a precondition, at least 1:33:16.840 --> 1:33:19.439 it's on paper a precondition in places like Sweden that 1:33:19.479 --> 1:33:22.640 have had very open door policies for asylum seekers in 1:33:22.720 --> 1:33:27.679 recent years, much to the social disunity now of that country, 1:33:27.720 --> 1:33:29.559 and a lot there's a lot of dysfunction that has 1:33:29.600 --> 1:33:33.240 come from that policy, by the way, and the government 1:33:33.320 --> 1:33:39.920 is actively in some of those Norse countries. The Northern 1:33:39.960 --> 1:33:41.479 European be a more proper way to put it. I 1:33:41.560 --> 1:33:45.120 guess Scandinavian's word I was looking for. They realize that 1:33:45.160 --> 1:33:47.080 they've made some mistake, but we're not only able to 1:33:47.120 --> 1:33:48.600 talk about it. Let me let me tell you this. 1:33:49.120 --> 1:33:52.599 Any issue of politics where people of good faith would 1:33:52.680 --> 1:33:54.560 want to have a debate and they're not allowed to 1:33:55.240 --> 1:33:58.599 tells you a lot. And that is the case when 1:33:58.600 --> 1:34:03.960 it comes to assimilation, immigration, and English as our national language. 1:34:04.320 --> 1:34:08.480 It's a big problem because what nonbelievers fail to understand 1:34:09.120 --> 1:34:11.519 is that calling a dream crazy is not an insult, 1:34:12.760 --> 1:34:17.200 it's a compliment. Don't try to be the fastest runner 1:34:17.240 --> 1:34:20.760 in your school or the fastest in the world, be 1:34:20.920 --> 1:34:26.719 the fastest ever. Don't picture yourself wearing Obj's jersey, picture 1:34:26.760 --> 1:34:32.640 OBJ wearing yours. Don't settle for homecoming queen or linebacker. 1:34:33.439 --> 1:34:37.520 Do both. So that's one of the inspiring Nike commercials 1:34:37.640 --> 1:34:41.320 that that great American company puts out on a fairly 1:34:41.400 --> 1:34:44.439 regular basis. I look, Nike is one of the premier, 1:34:44.920 --> 1:34:49.400 not just American, but global brands, right Nick, the Goddess 1:34:49.479 --> 1:34:53.320 of Victory. Nike a pretty amazing story behind it to 1:34:53.439 --> 1:34:55.800 this guy just realized that nobody was making nobody was 1:34:55.880 --> 1:34:59.439 making good running shoes, which you would think would be 1:34:59.479 --> 1:35:01.720 a market would have been pretty well tapped into back 1:35:01.760 --> 1:35:04.320 in whatever it was the sixties, I think maybe it 1:35:04.400 --> 1:35:07.960 was in the fifties and forget. But this guy decided 1:35:08.000 --> 1:35:10.479 to make better running shoes and now you got Nike, 1:35:10.640 --> 1:35:14.360 which is obviously a huge international conglomerate. But I bring 1:35:14.439 --> 1:35:20.200 it up because once again we have the pressure, the 1:35:20.720 --> 1:35:25.680 pressure from the social justice left forcing a company to 1:35:26.200 --> 1:35:30.760 bend on an issue that is absolutely absurd. You have 1:35:31.640 --> 1:35:37.479 Muslims demanding on a change dot Org position with fourteen 1:35:37.560 --> 1:35:43.439 thousand signatures demanding that the Nike Airmax two seventy shoe 1:35:44.360 --> 1:35:49.759 change the logo because it's it's looks like it's supposed 1:35:49.760 --> 1:35:53.960 to be kind of a stylized Airmax, but it looks 1:35:54.200 --> 1:35:57.680 somewhat and I actually know enough Arabic script to know this, 1:35:58.560 --> 1:36:04.679 it looks vaguely like Allah. It's not in Arabic script, 1:36:04.760 --> 1:36:08.960 mind you, but the way they've stylized our script, it 1:36:09.160 --> 1:36:12.120 looks kind of I mean, not much, but kind of 1:36:12.280 --> 1:36:16.800 like it could possibly be Allah to some eyes. And 1:36:16.920 --> 1:36:19.840 they expect Nike to change this because to write the 1:36:19.960 --> 1:36:22.479 name Allah on the bottom of a shoe, which in 1:36:22.560 --> 1:36:24.679 the Muslim world the bottom of the shoe, is considered 1:36:24.720 --> 1:36:27.760 a grave insult. This is why when that Iraqi, who 1:36:27.840 --> 1:36:30.559 by the way, is a member of parliament, now, oh yeah, 1:36:31.000 --> 1:36:33.800 when that Iraqi threw his shoe at George W. Bush 1:36:33.920 --> 1:36:37.559 back in two thousand and seven or eight, I think 1:36:37.600 --> 1:36:41.840 two thousand and eight, it was a grave insult in 1:36:41.920 --> 1:36:43.920 the Iraqi culture. You know, if you show someone the 1:36:43.960 --> 1:36:47.639 bottom of your shoe, that's essentially our equivalent of showing 1:36:47.680 --> 1:36:50.439 them only a single finger in the middle of your hand. 1:36:51.760 --> 1:36:55.400 But you know, this is where I think that Nike is. 1:36:56.280 --> 1:36:59.240 You know, it might it might end up having to 1:36:59.320 --> 1:37:01.880 change its spoke person said, Nike respects all religions. We 1:37:01.960 --> 1:37:05.320 take the concerns seriously. The Airmax logo was designed to 1:37:05.360 --> 1:37:08.640 be a stylized representation of Nike's Airmax trademark. It is 1:37:08.640 --> 1:37:12.120 intended to reflect the Airmax brand only. Any perceived meaning 1:37:12.160 --> 1:37:17.400 otherwise is unintentional. You know they don't mean allah. But 1:37:17.479 --> 1:37:20.600 what's even more interesting is notice how there's this tendency 1:37:20.800 --> 1:37:25.719 and it's common in Islam to force nonbelievers to bend 1:37:25.880 --> 1:37:30.760 to the unreasonable expectations of many in the Islamic faith, 1:37:31.439 --> 1:37:34.599 as in, we have to use the language that they demand. 1:37:34.840 --> 1:37:39.080 We can't have depictions of Muhammad and cartoons or on 1:37:39.240 --> 1:37:42.360 South Park, even if it's in a bear costume. It's 1:37:42.360 --> 1:37:44.120 the only religious faith in the world where if you 1:37:44.200 --> 1:37:46.680 do that, not only will they sign petitions, but there 1:37:46.720 --> 1:37:50.200 are threats of violence. We haven't been talking much about 1:37:50.240 --> 1:37:53.799 radical Islam in a while, but here's an early prediction 1:37:53.960 --> 1:37:55.919 that I can assure you we will have to revisit. 1:37:56.640 --> 1:37:59.280 Radical Islam is still very much with us around the 1:37:59.320 --> 1:38:03.519 globe and is going to surge once again as a 1:38:03.760 --> 1:38:06.160 major problem for us. It is just a question of 1:38:06.200 --> 1:38:16.000 when roll calls up next, team Buck, It's time for 1:38:16.160 --> 1:38:28.000 roll call. Okay, roll call, Let's take it from the 1:38:28.080 --> 1:38:32.439 friend zone to the end zone. Because I I I 1:38:32.880 --> 1:38:35.479 it's game time something like that. I think that's how 1:38:35.520 --> 1:38:38.559 the lyrics go. I'm wondering I didn't. Let's let's see 1:38:38.640 --> 1:38:44.160 how many of you caught the references from yesterday. All right, 1:38:44.240 --> 1:38:46.719 Let's see as we get into our roll call, Facebook 1:38:46.720 --> 1:38:48.800 dot com, slash Buck sex and if you want in 1:38:49.120 --> 1:38:53.600 on this action, which is always fun for those of 1:38:53.640 --> 1:38:55.960 you who get into like yes, Buck, I will you 1:38:56.040 --> 1:38:58.639 really read my stuff on the air, We will people 1:38:58.680 --> 1:39:01.639 across the nation here my words from your lips. Indeed, 1:39:02.360 --> 1:39:06.719 Facebook dot Com, Slashbuck saxon. All right, Jennifer writes Buck. 1:39:06.880 --> 1:39:10.080 Not sure if you've seen the hashtag where's Ruth on Twitter? 1:39:10.479 --> 1:39:13.120 But people are starting to wonder where RBG is and 1:39:13.240 --> 1:39:15.400 whether her health condition is in fact more serious than 1:39:15.479 --> 1:39:18.479 thus far reported. It has been sometimes since she was 1:39:18.560 --> 1:39:21.559 seen in public, and rumors are running wild. All her 1:39:21.680 --> 1:39:25.080 upcoming engagements are canceled. What are your thoughts? Of course, 1:39:25.200 --> 1:39:28.040 we wish only good health to Justice Ginsburg. But the 1:39:28.120 --> 1:39:30.559 silence on her condition is concerning. We know she's absent 1:39:30.600 --> 1:39:33.240 from oral arguments. Is she participating in court matters? Are 1:39:33.280 --> 1:39:35.679 her clerks filling her role? Why is no one reporting 1:39:35.760 --> 1:39:38.439 on this shield? Hie jen Jen. I think that there. 1:39:38.560 --> 1:39:42.240 I saw some reporting yesterday from some reporters I know 1:39:42.320 --> 1:39:43.880 here in DC, at least one that I know of 1:39:43.960 --> 1:39:47.280 in DC, saying that she's been seen working out with 1:39:47.400 --> 1:39:49.640 a trainer. And I'm being serious about that. That was 1:39:49.640 --> 1:39:52.599 the report that I saw in DC. So I think 1:39:52.680 --> 1:39:56.200 she's okay and in recovery. I don't think that there's 1:39:56.200 --> 1:40:01.000 any imminent health concern for Ruth Vader Ginsburg. And as 1:40:01.600 --> 1:40:05.280 as moral and decent conservatives and human beings, we always 1:40:05.720 --> 1:40:09.880 wish any of our fellow Americans, or anyone for that matter, 1:40:10.000 --> 1:40:15.400 the best when it comes to their health. David right hey, 1:40:15.479 --> 1:40:18.200 buck back after a small sabbatical. Good luck with the beard, 1:40:18.600 --> 1:40:21.080 and you should check out a Ripper Street on Netflix. 1:40:21.280 --> 1:40:26.320 Check you later, David, doc ripper Street, Huh? Is that 1:40:26.439 --> 1:40:29.519 like a Jack the Ripper thing. I'm enjoying Peaky Blinders 1:40:29.560 --> 1:40:31.920 so much. I'm in the last few episodes, and you 1:40:32.000 --> 1:40:35.519 know it's a great show when you have this concern 1:40:35.560 --> 1:40:37.000 about what are you going to do when the show 1:40:37.160 --> 1:40:39.880 ends because you think the show is so fantastic. That's 1:40:39.960 --> 1:40:42.920 kind of where I am with Peaky Blinders. I'm just like, oh, 1:40:43.080 --> 1:40:44.840 I want to keep watching, but I want to save it. 1:40:45.000 --> 1:40:48.680 You know. It's like that last slice of pizza, Like 1:40:48.800 --> 1:40:51.040 I want to save it for tomorrow, but I want 1:40:51.080 --> 1:40:54.840 to have it now because it's delicious. So indeed, was 1:40:54.880 --> 1:40:56.519 that that? Probably I got a little close. Sometimes it 1:40:56.640 --> 1:40:58.040 look close to the mic, and if I hear it 1:40:58.240 --> 1:41:02.240 back later, sounds a little creepy. So I should probably 1:41:02.280 --> 1:41:04.360 not do that. Try to get a little effect, a 1:41:04.400 --> 1:41:09.000 little theatricality here in the Freedom Hunt for your edification 1:41:09.160 --> 1:41:13.920 and entertainment, well really just for your entertainment, Caroline hey Buck. 1:41:14.240 --> 1:41:17.400 There's an important story out there receiving very little attention, 1:41:17.600 --> 1:41:22.439 the Mexican gas crisis. Apparently, Mexican gangs have been siphoning 1:41:22.520 --> 1:41:24.760 gasolin off the pipelines, and the government has shut the 1:41:24.800 --> 1:41:28.320 pipelines down. The only way gas can be transported now 1:41:28.479 --> 1:41:32.080 is by truck, which is way more inefficient and inexpensive. 1:41:32.360 --> 1:41:34.479 The lines are huge. People are running out and can't 1:41:34.479 --> 1:41:37.280 get to work. And their economy is being crushed. What 1:41:37.439 --> 1:41:39.639 will this mean for the immigration crisis in the Wall. 1:41:39.720 --> 1:41:43.559 I'd love to hear your take on this. Shields High. 1:41:43.760 --> 1:41:46.599 You know this is thank you so much for bringing 1:41:46.640 --> 1:41:52.080 this to my attention. I am not aware of this, 1:41:52.920 --> 1:41:55.680 although I know it is it is happening as I 1:41:56.080 --> 1:41:59.519 do a quick Google search looking up what you're talking about. Yeah, 1:41:59.560 --> 1:42:03.160 that there's a fuel crisis in Mexico. I didn't know 1:42:03.160 --> 1:42:06.560 about this. This is really interesting though, because in countries 1:42:06.880 --> 1:42:11.080 where there is a natural resource wealth and there is 1:42:11.240 --> 1:42:15.160 an active either organized, very active organized crime element, or 1:42:15.200 --> 1:42:19.560 even an insurgency, it's a very bad sign for the 1:42:19.640 --> 1:42:24.280 stability of that country. When the criminal group, whether it's 1:42:24.280 --> 1:42:28.799 an insurgent or terrorist group or a just a organized 1:42:28.840 --> 1:42:33.560 crime cartel like organization, when they go after state resources, 1:42:34.720 --> 1:42:36.920 you got a big problem. You know. It's one thing 1:42:36.960 --> 1:42:41.040 when they want to run their illicit their illicit schemes, right, 1:42:41.080 --> 1:42:46.400 they want to do drug running, gun running, prostitution, human trafficking, 1:42:46.479 --> 1:42:49.800 all those things. Those aren't businesses, or at least they're 1:42:49.800 --> 1:42:52.040 not supposed to be businesses that the state is in. 1:42:52.560 --> 1:42:56.200 But when they're going after the lifeblood economically of the 1:42:56.280 --> 1:43:01.280 state itself. That's very concerning. It's it's the truth. In Nigeria, 1:43:01.880 --> 1:43:04.680 there was a hole. There was a whole movement and 1:43:04.720 --> 1:43:07.839 actually called the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger 1:43:08.000 --> 1:43:12.280 Delta or the it's essentially an insurgency movement in the 1:43:12.400 --> 1:43:17.679 Delta region of the Niger River in Nigeria that wants 1:43:17.720 --> 1:43:19.599 a greater share of the oil wealth because the very 1:43:19.600 --> 1:43:21.519 impoverished area and the money just goes to the federal 1:43:21.600 --> 1:43:24.599 government and there's tremendous corruption there, but they go right 1:43:24.680 --> 1:43:27.840 for the oil wealth. And they also will engage in 1:43:27.960 --> 1:43:32.439 oil bunkering where they will try to get access to 1:43:32.560 --> 1:43:36.559 the oil through pipelines and there's actually there are actually 1:43:36.640 --> 1:43:39.479 some photos of people doing this and once in a 1:43:39.520 --> 1:43:45.240 while somebody makes the very unwise decision when they're whacking 1:43:45.360 --> 1:43:49.120 at an oil pipeline with hammers with buckets out to 1:43:49.720 --> 1:43:52.439 engage in this oil bunkering. And this is if you 1:43:52.479 --> 1:43:54.640 look this up online, you'll see it. In Nigeria. I 1:43:54.680 --> 1:43:56.840 think in one instance that they lost it was in 1:43:56.920 --> 1:43:58.599 the three digits. I can't remember if it was one 1:43:58.680 --> 1:44:01.920 hundred or three hundred, but I mean people just immolated 1:44:02.040 --> 1:44:06.599 in a Nigerian oil ball of fire, and it's because 1:44:06.680 --> 1:44:11.120 they had their buckets out at the pipeline smoking a cigarette, 1:44:12.680 --> 1:44:18.680 very very unwise for everybody in the vicinity of that pipeline. 1:44:19.040 --> 1:44:21.240 So I will this is a great heads up. And 1:44:21.320 --> 1:44:23.360 by the way, all of you should always feel like 1:44:23.520 --> 1:44:25.360 if you don't hear me talk about a story, you know, 1:44:25.680 --> 1:44:29.120 I appreciate it when you send me the biggest headline 1:44:29.200 --> 1:44:31.200 on Fox News for the day, just because I love 1:44:31.280 --> 1:44:33.599 the team spirit and the team effort. But I've usually 1:44:33.640 --> 1:44:36.720 got that covered just by way of making sure we're 1:44:36.720 --> 1:44:39.320 all using our time in the best possible manner. But 1:44:39.439 --> 1:44:42.439 if you know of a story that I haven't hit 1:44:42.560 --> 1:44:45.080 that you think is something the rest of the team 1:44:45.200 --> 1:44:47.960 should here, send it to my Facebook inbox. And we're 1:44:48.000 --> 1:44:50.759 in that inbox every day looking at pitches and stories 1:44:50.800 --> 1:44:53.280 and all the rest of it. So don't be shy 1:44:53.400 --> 1:44:55.519 about that. And if I don't get to it, don't 1:44:55.640 --> 1:44:57.360 don't think that I'm not reading it. I just we 1:44:57.439 --> 1:44:58.800 got a lot of things to get to hear of 1:44:58.840 --> 1:45:00.599 the course of the show. Okay, obvious say that story 1:45:00.680 --> 1:45:02.320 really interested me. So I went on a bit of 1:45:02.400 --> 1:45:05.840 a bit of a tangent there. Oh, I want to 1:45:05.880 --> 1:45:07.200 make sure that I give you to give you the 1:45:07.280 --> 1:45:12.280 proper facts. Oil bunkering in Nigeria has killed as many 1:45:12.400 --> 1:45:17.320 in one incident in a pipeline explosion as seven hundred people. 1:45:17.360 --> 1:45:19.680 I thought it was three hundred people. This was a 1:45:19.800 --> 1:45:23.719 nineteen ninety eight. A fireball shot up one hundred feet 1:45:23.760 --> 1:45:30.519 into the sky and seven hundred people were incinerated. Wow, 1:45:31.720 --> 1:45:33.360 I thought three hundred was maybe I was, I was 1:45:33.400 --> 1:45:37.200 gonna high Nope, it was seven hundred. I spent some 1:45:37.360 --> 1:45:40.680 time in Sub Saharan Africa. I never get to talk 1:45:40.720 --> 1:45:42.080 about it on the show. Maybe one day I'll be 1:45:42.120 --> 1:45:43.600 able to talk about on the show. I probably have 1:45:43.720 --> 1:45:47.360 to check in on some things first. Sub Saharan Africa 1:45:47.520 --> 1:45:50.240 is a, depending on where you are, very beautiful place 1:45:50.640 --> 1:45:56.000 or a very dangerous and depressing place. Okay. Next up 1:45:56.120 --> 1:46:01.439 here in the Facebook box, David right Shield's High Buck 1:46:01.479 --> 1:46:05.599 podcast listener on Kamala Harris's history of wanting to prosecute 1:46:05.640 --> 1:46:08.280 parents if their kids don't show up to school. We 1:46:08.479 --> 1:46:11.120 know what that was really about. If a kid doesn't 1:46:11.160 --> 1:46:13.760 show up, the school gets no money for that kid 1:46:13.920 --> 1:46:16.800 that day. Money for the school means money for the union. 1:46:16.800 --> 1:46:20.759 Which goes to Democrat campaigns, and yes, it was intended 1:46:20.800 --> 1:46:24.600 as a stepping stone to criminalizing homeschooling for exactly the 1:46:24.680 --> 1:46:27.800 same reasons. Well, David, I definitely know that the state 1:46:28.080 --> 1:46:32.600 is very in general, especially the more statist states, the 1:46:32.800 --> 1:46:36.519 very blue states, are opposed to and will do whatever 1:46:36.600 --> 1:46:41.200 they can to knock down homeschooling. Okay, so start with 1:46:41.360 --> 1:46:44.600 that they don't like it for exactly what you said. Unfortunately, 1:46:45.560 --> 1:46:47.880 you only have to look at the numbers for the 1:46:47.920 --> 1:46:50.120 public school system in this country and you get a 1:46:50.240 --> 1:46:53.599 very clear sense of just what's important in the Department 1:46:53.600 --> 1:46:57.760 of Education, and it is pensions, health benefits, and the 1:46:57.920 --> 1:47:02.360 hiring of non teaching bureaus. That's what really moves the 1:47:02.479 --> 1:47:06.439 needle for the public school teach. The public school staff, 1:47:06.479 --> 1:47:09.000 I should say, in this country they have hired a 1:47:09.280 --> 1:47:14.080 massive increase of administrators. Some do important things, a lot 1:47:14.160 --> 1:47:15.639 of them don't. A lot of them are just pushing 1:47:15.720 --> 1:47:18.240 paper around for the local school district or for the 1:47:18.280 --> 1:47:21.360 superintendence office or whatever. A lot of you know, English 1:47:21.360 --> 1:47:23.439 as a second language teachers and tutors that have to 1:47:23.520 --> 1:47:26.960 come in. We all know what that's about. So this 1:47:27.200 --> 1:47:29.439 is where you really the rubber really meets the road 1:47:29.800 --> 1:47:33.599 for the teachers unions with funding, that's what they really 1:47:33.720 --> 1:47:37.519 care about. And so your point about people not wanting 1:47:37.600 --> 1:47:40.559 or rather Kamala Harris not wanting people to hold their 1:47:40.640 --> 1:47:42.960 children back from school because they don't get paid for 1:47:43.040 --> 1:47:45.560 that day. I don't know if that is true, but 1:47:45.840 --> 1:47:48.680 if that is accurate, then your theory is certainly very 1:47:48.800 --> 1:47:50.880 interesting and I'd want to dig into that some more. 1:47:51.680 --> 1:47:56.639 But yes, the teachers unions represent adults. They don't really 1:47:56.880 --> 1:47:59.680 represent kids. And I know people get very mad when 1:47:59.680 --> 1:48:02.559 I say that, but you know, it's never really about 1:48:02.560 --> 1:48:04.840 how to fix things for the kids. It's always shorter 1:48:04.960 --> 1:48:10.000 working hours, smaller class eyes, more money, more benefits. That 1:48:10.320 --> 1:48:12.080 they'll say that that's also they can do a better 1:48:12.200 --> 1:48:15.240 job of teaching. But that's a pretty self serving explanation 1:48:15.360 --> 1:48:19.120 for everything that the teachers Union is pushing for. And 1:48:19.680 --> 1:48:22.960 que angry emails from members of the teachers Union into 1:48:23.040 --> 1:48:27.280 my inbox. All right, Leah, listeners may want to switch 1:48:27.360 --> 1:48:31.880 to cast box pods. Casts on cast box they are working, 1:48:32.000 --> 1:48:34.479 all available in playing Leah. I hadn't. I don't even 1:48:34.479 --> 1:48:36.760 never I've never even heard of cast box pods, So 1:48:37.720 --> 1:48:39.679 thank you for the heads up on that. You've taught 1:48:39.720 --> 1:48:43.200 me something new today and we'll have to check it out. 1:48:44.160 --> 1:48:47.160 Robert writes, second Day Without a Buck, Sex and Show 1:48:47.200 --> 1:48:52.760 on Stitcher, what's up? Oh my gosh, come on, really, producer, Mike, 1:48:53.600 --> 1:48:55.479 I got to write an angry email to someone who 1:48:55.520 --> 1:48:58.000 do I write the angry email to you? Man. We've 1:48:58.040 --> 1:49:00.720 got to get the podcast has to be up every day. 1:49:00.760 --> 1:49:02.479 I know it's not on you, Mike, it's that it's 1:49:02.520 --> 1:49:05.880 the tech side of this. But you know, we do 1:49:06.040 --> 1:49:08.200 this incredible show. We got to be able to get 1:49:08.760 --> 1:49:11.320 the hundreds and thousands of people, hundreds of thousands people 1:49:11.320 --> 1:49:14.240 that are listening, to be able to listen. Darn it 1:49:15.240 --> 1:49:21.960 all right. That frustrates me. John writes all that jabbering 1:49:22.040 --> 1:49:25.280 about the Punisher was pure torture, and if you can't 1:49:25.880 --> 1:49:28.400 grow a beard without asking other guys for advice, you 1:49:28.439 --> 1:49:35.800 should just shave and shut up. John. You see them 1:49:35.840 --> 1:49:38.479 a little grumpy, my friend. I think that you would 1:49:38.479 --> 1:49:43.240 be better off not listening to this show. There are 1:49:43.280 --> 1:49:46.479 so many other shows for somebody of your temperament and 1:49:46.760 --> 1:49:51.599 obvious intellectual ability. Go listen to one of those shows. 1:49:51.680 --> 1:49:56.120 Then that's fine. Good luck finding somebody more well versed 1:49:56.160 --> 1:49:57.439 in the issues that we talk about it and go 1:49:57.560 --> 1:49:59.360 listen to that show. You'll be looking for a very 1:49:59.439 --> 1:50:02.160 long time. But I wish you all the best, and 1:50:03.000 --> 1:50:06.920 the profanity was unnecessary. Michael. I have the cure for 1:50:07.040 --> 1:50:11.840 global warming. Make it illegal for Democrats to exhale carbon dioxide. 1:50:12.240 --> 1:50:16.400 They can inhale all they want, but not exhale. Hm. 1:50:17.840 --> 1:50:20.320 I'm not sure that that policy will work in action, Michael, 1:50:20.400 --> 1:50:22.960 but I like where your heads at all right, I 1:50:23.080 --> 1:50:29.479 will hold on a second, Alex. One more here, Buck, 1:50:29.640 --> 1:50:34.080 Thanks again for your fantastic show. I have a question, 1:50:34.120 --> 1:50:36.920 where are the inspectors general? They just seem to be missing. 1:50:37.360 --> 1:50:39.280 Would you take some time to explain their function, how 1:50:39.280 --> 1:50:41.360 they're chosen, what they oversee, how many there are and 1:50:41.439 --> 1:50:44.000 how long a typical or atypical for that matter, investigation 1:50:44.080 --> 1:50:47.920 has taken historically. How many different active investigations are ongoing, 1:50:48.240 --> 1:50:49.920 so what do we know from them so far? I 1:50:50.040 --> 1:50:52.360 have so many questions. Shouldn't require a deep dive, maybe 1:50:52.400 --> 1:50:55.240 just a well executed racing dive in shallow waters. Thank 1:50:55.280 --> 1:50:58.479 you and shields high, Alex. Alex, great questions, but it 1:50:58.560 --> 1:51:01.160 is the very end of the show. So I'm saved 1:51:01.200 --> 1:51:03.400 by the bell on this one.
