WEBVTT - Corona Panic Is Spreading 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:14.880 You are entering the freedom hug Bernie Sanders doubles down 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:19.040 on his support for the literacy program the Castro regime implemented. 0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:22.720 We'll get into that. The rise of open authoritarianism in 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:25.880 the Democratic Party. What does this mean for the Democratic primary? 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:29.040 There is a debate tonight among Democrats. It's going to 0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:32.680 help determine who wins in South Carolina, and a whole 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:36.600 lot more coming up. This is the bus Sexton Show, 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:39.680 where the mission or mission is to decode what really 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:47.520 matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake Grant American again. 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:57.880 The buck Sexton Show begins. Analyst. Remember so the Democrats 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:02.080 will say, you don't say good things about Fidel Castro. 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:06.560 He destroyed freedoms in that country. He played picks, winners 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:08.760 and losers and killed them and put them in prison forever. 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:10.640 You don't give him a pat on the back for anything. Don't. 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:16.560 It's not a quite truth? Is truth? All right? Now? 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.839 If you want to disagree with me that somebody wants 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:23.520 to say that, and badly, all of those congress people 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.240 that you mentioned just so happened to be supporting other 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:31.200 candidates just accidentally, no doubt incidentally. But you know the 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.200 truth is the truth, and that's what happened in the 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:38.800 first he is of the Castro regime. Truth is truth 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.840 is the answer you get from Bernie Sanders there, Welcome 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:45.400 to the Buck Sexton Show, everybody. You would think that 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:49.280 Bernie Sanders might take the offer amp here that CNN 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:54.360 was clearly clearly providing him right that he could walk 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.520 away from his comments about the literacy program. By the way, 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:01.720 the literacy of the Cuban people went from somewhere in 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:06.720 the mid seventy percentile range to like maybe ninety percent. 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:11.760 And that was at the cost of the enslavement of 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.520 the entire island, the appropriation of not just rich people, 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:22.200 but middle class people's property, indoctrination programs, massed attention, mass executions, torture, brutalization, 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:28.000 and o yes, huge numbers of people risking death. As 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:31.440 a Cuban immigrant to this country, now a proud American 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.440 had explained it to me, Always remember that people were 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.280 not just willing to risk their own lives, but fathers, 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:45.600 mothers were willing to get on rickety rafts, homemade homemade rafts, 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:49.560 and risk the possibility of watching their children drowned before 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:53.079 them or their children could eaten by sharks. That's how 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.600 desperate they were to get off of this island that 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:59.840 Bernie Sanders thinks had a great literacy program. Now we're 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:03.120 not overstating this. This is no longer that point in 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.400 conservative media where you say, come on, is this meant 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:08.800 to just get a rise out of people or is 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.359 there a little bit of media exaggeration going on here? 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.160 We have a socialist who is now on a glide 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:19.239 path to becoming the Democrat nominee for the presidency. And 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.079 not only does he not hide the fact that he's 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.040 a socialist, is quite open about it, obviously, but he 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:30.200 won't even repudiate his previous warm comments about some of 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.679 the most awful totalitarian regimes on the planet. And this 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.880 guy wants to be in charge of the executive branch 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.600 of the United States government in less than a year. 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.960 I think it's a big deal. I think we can 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:46.680 all view this as something that is worthy of our 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:50.760 attention in our time and just remember this as scary 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:55.559 as it is. The Democrat corporate media, the CNN, MSNBC, 0:03:55.800 --> 0:04:00.400 New York Times, Washington Post industrial complex, dope, I'll find 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:04.000 some way to push Sanders on us. They don't care 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.640 anybody but Trump, anyone who they think will give them 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:11.680 some of what they want, even if it means a 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.120 complete abandonment of some of the core principles of this 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.720 country for now, well really since the beginning. I mean, 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:24.200 if you look at individual rights and constitutional constitutional restraint 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.440 on government, and then you look at what the Sanders 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:30.880 administration is already proposing to do, it's effectively at war 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:34.200 with the founding principles of this country. It wants to 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.120 turn us into a Oh that's right, kind of like 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.560 what Obama said, fundamentally transform the country. That was his promise, 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:45.360 and now Sanders looks to finish finish that process. This 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:49.440 is troubling, to say the least. It's something that we 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:53.480 should take very seriously. We have to take it very seriously. 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:58.960 Bernie Sanders also takes all the wrong lessons from history 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.760 and from other model rolls around the world, all of 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:05.080 the wrong models. He somehow has managed to spend his 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:11.760 entire adult life distilling the incorrect lessons of state control, authoritarianism, 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:16.919 intervention by government authorities into markets, all the wrong lessons. 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.960 That's really his magic power is to always he's like 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.440 Joe Biden on foreign policy, to always get it wrong. 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.800 Bernie Sanders on the market and on what creates wealth 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:31.880 and prosperity for all people always gets it wrong. All 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:36.080 he knows how to do is class warfare agitation. He 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.200 doesn't even know how to implement that class warfare agitation. 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.120 You have to remember that he hasn't even had experience 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.719 at the controls. He's just a loud voice on the 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:50.160 corner yelling about millionaires and billionaires and oligarchus, and you're 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.760 gonna have free this and free that, and they're all 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:57.760 gonna be paid for by the rich. Except we know 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.400 everyone's going to pay for it. There aren't enough people 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.400 to pay for the things that Bernie said. Sanders says 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:06.039 that he wants. I've had a number of jobs in 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.040 the private sector, and the people that I have worked for, 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.120 at least the owners that the companies I've worked for, 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.960 they have been wealthy. I've never had a I've never 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:18.560 had a job that Bernie Sanders would offer me. Right, 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:24.160 I've never worked for somebody who Bernie Sanders would be 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:27.960 able to do anything other than extract from. So his 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:34.279 demonization of the people that are actual job creators is counterproductive. 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.120 In the most clear and the most the most evident ways. 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:40.680 He simply does not care though he's going to continue 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:44.000 with this, and he also knows that he has to 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:47.480 bow to the wokeness of the left, which I suppose 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:52.560 is unsurprising. Here's what he says about who is vice president, 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:56.320 for example, will be plick clip ten. But your question 0:06:56.600 --> 0:07:03.520 is about a vice presidential part of the ticket, and yes, 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.840 the answer is we will do that. But it's a 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:09.840 little bit presumptuous right now. I will tell you one thing, though, 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.720 you know, is that person will not be an old 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:19.600 white guy. That I can say defend in all seriousness 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:27.600 that our cabinet and our administration will very intentionally look 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:31.400 like America. I think it's important that all of our 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:36.520 people see themselves reflected in the administration of the president 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.760 of the United States, and we will absolutely do that. 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.160 This from a guy who is really the oldest of 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:48.160 white guys running for the presidency from what is I believe, 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.800 the whitest single state in the United States. But now 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.600 he's mister diversity because he thinks he has to be 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:58.080 in the Democratic primary. So the media can go along 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:00.600 with all this and look like they're not out whatever 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:04.320 principles they pretend to have How's he going to pay 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:08.040 for all this? We'll figure it out. I mean this 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.320 has really become a common talking point on the left. 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.040 How are you gonna pay for a hundred trillion dollars? 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:17.720 It'll come from somewhere. Keep in mind, right now people 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.800 might have to consider the possibility that we are facing 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:30.520 because of because of manufacturing, manufacturing stoppages and supply chain shortages, 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:35.000 a change in global GDP as a result of coronavirus. 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.480 That's a that's a real concern. I don't know if 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.240 it will have him, and that's a real concern. And 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.800 you also have twenty three trillion dollars or so of 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:47.040 US debt already piled up. There are economic ramifications that 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:50.320 are happening all the time from that, and Bernie Sanders 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.240 is just saying, let's just make it one hundred trillion dollars. 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:57.880 I mean, he is walking into a room full of 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:00.960 flammable material and he's got a blamethrower in his hands, 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.840 and he's just saying, what could go wrong? This is 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.920 really something that we all have to take very seriously. 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.240 I did not think if Joe Biden became president, you 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:14.400 weren't going to have you know the massive destruction of 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:18.640 wealth that you would have under a Sanders presidency. Let's 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.319 understand this. I mean Biden would have you know, he 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.400 would have done some bad Democrat things, and I wouldn't 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.439 certainly would have been as good as Trump nowhere near it, 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:29.120 but you know, he'd sort of go with what the 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:32.480 corporate interests and the Democrat donor class wants on some things. 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.800 Bernie Sanders, it's not clear that the corporate donor class 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.440 can control him at all. And it's also not clear 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.959 that he even really understands the ramifications of what he 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:46.840 says he wants to do. He's claiming, for example, that 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:48.679 we'll just figure out how to pay for things when 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.160 we decide that we're gonna pay for them. Play twelve mark. 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:54.800 There's a lot of detail in here. You can look 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.760 forward for yourselves on the website. It is not matching 0:09:57.760 --> 0:09:59.960 the price tag that some put it about thirty trillion 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.960 dollars for the Medicare for All transition. You do have 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.120 lots of different ideas in here. I'm not saying you don't, 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.240 but you get about halfway. There's the question becomes, how 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.720 do you get the rest of the world You know 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:12.480 there was a slutty Chris. I don't know if you 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:15.040 have to see it. I don't know. If that hatie 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:21.880 trillion over ten years, how do you get there? The 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:23.920 math doesn't add up. He can pretend that it adds 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.439 up as much as he wants to. I mean, Bernie 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:30.160 Sanders in a saner era where the left has not 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:34.120 had the ability to organize and galvanize via digital and 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:38.080 social media, and where the corporate media hasn't just become 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:42.040 a bunch of absolutely spineless cowards who just don't want 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:43.840 to be called you know, don't want to be called racist, 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:47.240 don't want to be called sexist, and we'll play along 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.680 with his class warfare game. I mean, that's the funniest 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:54.040 thing about about the CNN and MSNBC, an ABC same deal, 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.600 that that these networks have all these people that go 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.439 on TV who are multi multi millionaires getting paid to 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.520 do a job. A thousand other people could replace them 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:03.240 in tomorrow and do just as good of a job. 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:05.599 But they're friends with the right people, and they like 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:11.120 their little privileged positions, and they act like Bernie Sanders 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:14.679 is not crazy because their audience, or a substantial portion 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:17.240 of their audience now wants to believe that, so they'll 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.120 just play along. I thought journalists are supposed to speak 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.800 truth to power. I thought, especially if you're super rich 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.600 journalist who's been in the game a long time, shouldn't 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.360 he be willing to take a stand. Why haven't you 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.240 seen a single anchor at cn whos when it come 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.120 out and spell, Look, Bernie Sanders is a commy and 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.440 he's going to destroy the US economy. We all know 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:39.360 that they won't say it. They're cowards. They're cowards. What 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:42.320 do they risk, Oh, their readings won't be as high. 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.720 Oh maybe they won't get invited to the fanciest parties 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:48.760 in the Hamptons this summerse people are the worst. They 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:52.480 really are. I mean, at least the the trolls that 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.360 work at some of these other you know, the Salon 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.160 dot Com and some of these other places, you know, Slate. 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.320 You know, they're all all these writers living in Brooklyn 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:03.720 who think that they're changing the world by being snarky 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:07.440 idiots all day long. At least you can say for them, 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:10.920 they gotta they gotta keep the hustle going so they 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:12.600 can pay the bills. But some of these people you 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:16.040 see in the big the big three letter news agency 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:20.480 and corporate media that they got no excuse. There's there's 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:22.360 no reason for them to be such whims except that 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.960 they're they're they like their privileged positions, and they won't 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.040 speak the truth. Not only do the American people forget that, 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.600 they will not speak the truth to their Democrat audience. 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.000 You know, there have been all these editorials about how 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:37.720 about how journalism and the era of Trump means taking 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.320 oppositional positions? They really write this. This has been a 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:44.520 common theme, oppositional positions to Donald Trump, because that's what 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:48.800 truth is. To be true, you must be opposed to Trump. Well, 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:52.479 I'm sorry, but if you are any of the mainstream 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:57.600 journal Darling's out there and you don't know that Bernie 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:00.240 Sanders would wreck the US economy, you're a more on. 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.280 But what's worse is I think most of them recognize it, 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:07.520 but they're too cowardly, They're too wimpy to possibly alienate 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:10.080 some of their audience by saying, now, look, say what 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:11.920 you will about conservatism. There are a lot of people 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:15.280 that were willing to speak out incorrectly it turned out 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.720 about Donald Trump. But they during the primary, they said 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:23.320 their peace these Democrats, these big journals. They're just going 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.040 along for the ride. Man. They're just like, yeah, okay, 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.000 you know, maybe it's gonna be Sanders. We know they're 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:32.000 all activists. So what I'm trying to say is that 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:38.200 they are accessories. They are accomplices in the socialism surge 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:41.640 of the Democratic Party is going through right now. They 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:43.400 could do something to try to slow it down, but 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:47.000 they won't. So just remember that they've been pretending for 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:51.600 years that they're so concerned about authoritarianism. They're so concerned 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:58.679 about an overly powerful executive branch official. And Bernie Sanders 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.000 is walking around saying I'm I'm gonna take your money, 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:02.719 I'm gonna make you do things. I'm gonna be in 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:05.640 charge of everything. And it's just gonna be executive order. 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.400 Where's the where's the outrage? Where is it? No? Instead, 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.040 they give him the Chris Quomo. You know, come on, 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.000 come on, hey, it's pro cuomo. Come on, I mean, 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:15.440 you know, you know, really you're not really gonna be 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.240 you know, you're really gonna be like doing that thing 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.000 you said you're gonna do about the thing, right, I mean, 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.840 come on, you don't really think that, like, you know, 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.200 Cuba Castro. I mean, come on, right, it's not it's 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:26.720 not it's not great. Just tell us it's not great 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.560 and we can talk about how great you are. He's like, Nope, 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:33.960 literacy program equals could Truth is truth. This is what 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.960 you're up against. He's a radical. He's a radical. And 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:39.280 keep in mind, I mean, and I'm not trying to 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.920 say this in a way that's you know, ungallant or anything, 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.600 but I mean, he's Bernie Sanders feels like he got 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.480 he's got nothing to lose. Remember this. I mean, he 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:52.040 either you know, he either wins this race and is 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.680 in a position to fundamentally transform America or he gets 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:56.960 to go down fighting. I mean, Bernie Sanders is not 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:58.760 planning to have what I'm what I'm saying here is 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.080 he's not gonna have another twin years of political career. 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.840 So he's a guy who thinks he's playing with house money, 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:10.400 your money. You're in the freedom hunt. This is the 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:17.880 Buck Sexton Show podcast. I happen to believe that Debaclissy 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:21.400 not authoritarianism, but you know, you can't say. China is 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.840 another example, all right, China is an authoritarian country becoming 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.600 more and more authoritarian. But can anyone deny. I mean, 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.400 the facts are clear that they have taken more people 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:35.280 out of extreme poverty than any country in history. Oh boy, 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:37.920 this is what I mean. He doesn't even know the basics. 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.920 How has China been able to do that? Was was 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:45.560 Mao able to do that? I mean was a communist, 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:50.640 He was a collectivist, a socialist, and forty to sixty 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:55.440 million people starved because of his great ideas greatly forward, 0:15:55.800 --> 0:16:01.080 forty sixty million people atrocities so horrific because hunger became 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:05.400 weaponized as a tool of state control during that period 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:09.840 of the Great Famine. And what Bernie Sanders takes from 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.640 the lesson of China is not Wait a second. The 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:18.600 Chinese authoritarian regime said, let's actually introduce free market reforms 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:23.760 and have state sponsored capitalism, which is what China is 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:28.360 engaged in, right, state control, state control of free market 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.520 based activity. I mean that the Chinese government is trying 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:34.400 to allow people to run big companies sell their stuff 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.760 on the global market so that there is wealth. The 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:41.520 wealth creation mechanism is the market. This is what Bernie 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.600 Sanders doesn't understand. The Chinese government didn't it wasn't able 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:49.800 to lift people out of poverty by instituting a higher 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:53.640 tax rate. That's not how it worked. Or by promising 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:55.880 free healthcare for everybody. That's not how it worked. So 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:59.560 he doesn't even in these models that he brings up. 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:01.680 He doesn't even And by the way, we always get 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:07.439 into this thing of okay, you know, there's the USSR, Venezuela, Cuba, 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:10.400 North Korea, and then those are the really really bad 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:12.760 socialist countries. And then you look at what happened in 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.600 or the left that Bernie Sanders folks will bring up 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:19.840 Denmark and Sweden and which are not socialist countries, but 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.359 they have some socialist sectors in the countries, and they 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:25.280 have a large welfare state and high taxation even though 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:30.320 they are free market economies. What about I mean, you 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.800 get on the list of all the other socialist experiments, 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:39.880 socialist countries all throughout Africa and Latin America, and all disasters, 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:44.879 all of them are disasters economically basket cases across the board, 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.680 dozens and dozens of them. Ones you don't even think 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:49.600 about it. Who sits around thinking about oh, like, how 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:53.200 did socialism work out in Albania? Pretty badly? Ask in Albanian? 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:54.800 You know, I mean, either are all these places where 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:56.960 we've run the experiment, it's a bad idea. And not 0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:00.119 only is it a bad idea, Sanders doesn't understand the 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.760 places where it was run poorly. And then they started 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:05.639 to make things better. Why things got better? Thanks for 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:09.440 listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:12.960 on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:18.959 your podcasts. So what we are calling for is universal childcare. 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:20.800 How are you going to pay for this? We have 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:22.520 a tax on wealth to pay for them. For all 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:24.680 the people who like the idea of it, they're gonna 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:26.360 be a lot of Democrats again who are saying, well, 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:30.120 wait a minute. Yet again, this is another program that 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:32.280 it's not clear how it's going to get paid for. 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:34.160 It's just going to add which is clear how it's 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:35.560 going to be paid for it look and to say 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:39.840 more taxes, it's taxes on billionaires. You know, you know, 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:47.160 I get a little bit tired of hearing my opponents saying, gee, 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.000 how are you going to pay for a program that 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:53.240 impacts and helps children or working class families or middle 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:55.399 class families. How are you going to pay for that? 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:58.320 And yet where are people saying, how are you going 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:01.080 to pay four of a seven hundred and fifty billion 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:04.000 dollars on military spending? How are you going to pay 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.440 for a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the one 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:09.640 percent of large corporations, which was what Trump did when 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:12.040 you helped the billionaires and you help Wall Street. Hey, 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:14.640 of course we can pay for That's what America supposed 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:18.320 to be about. Well, I disagree all demagoguery, I mean, 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:21.080 just all blather. That's what this guy is. He's a 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:25.399 blather machine. By the way. Don't even get me started 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:27.440 on if we had to sit down and I tried 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:29.320 that this guy wants to be commander in chief and 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:33.280 Democrats they were so upset that Trump wasn't the genius 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:36.919 scholar that they pretended Obama was. Do we really think 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:40.120 that Bernie Sanders could have an intelligent discussion about Oh, 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:41.680 I don't know, why did we win the Cold War? 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:46.440 Bernie Sanders? Why did the Soviet Union fail? Somebody should 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:48.480 ask Bernie Sanders if we had a real press corps, 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:52.040 which we don't. We don't. We have activist Democrats who 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:54.840 just like they've taken over universities and faculty lounges. At 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:59.960 colleges across the country. They also completely turned journal journalism 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.479 him into a province of the left. But while they 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:04.480 hate talk radio so much, because it was a format 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:07.280 where audience got to determine what they were listening to, 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.720 not a bunch of corporate executives who, with FCC assistance, 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:13.240 are able to determine who gets their time where, and 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:18.520 you know what cable channels exist. Who thinks that Bernie 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:21.520 Sanders would be able to explain what went wrong in Venezuela. 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:23.280 I mean he would just say things like, you know 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:25.800 there was corruption, and you know they didn't do a 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:31.560 good job, and okay, but why didn't it work? I'm 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:33.560 telling you, he could not explain. He couldn't even begin 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:37.240 to explain it. What's scary years that Bernie Sanders isn't 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:40.160 even a smart socialist. This is this is what I 0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:42.399 really feel like I have to say say to you. 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:45.119 There are very clever socialists. In fact, for most of 0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:47.719 his adult life and probably close to up until the end. 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:49.840 You know, Christopher Hitchins, who was one of my favorite writers, 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:51.879 even though he's a rabbit atheist and unfair to the 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:53.639 Catholic Church, and there was a lot of stuff that 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:56.119 I didn't agree with them on. But in terms of 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:59.320 writing talent, the guy was exceptional. He was really good 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:02.080 at the craft of writing and was also very engaging 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:05.760 at argument and would and would argue with whomever wanted 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:07.560 to argue. And I mean he wasn't you know these 0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:11.560 other people, these these CNN anchors and the MSNBC talking heads, 0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:13.639 these people are cowards. They never actually put themselves in 0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:16.520 a position to have a real argument. But Higins was 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:18.960 a socialist. He's a very smart one, though, so he 0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:21.200 would explain to you why, and he would get it. 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:24.240 He was He would consider himself a Trotskyite, which I 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:26.320 don't even know how much Bernie Sanders could explain to 0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:29.520 you about the difference between let's say, Trotsky versus being 0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:31.919 a Leninist and the split there and what happened, although 0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:34.920 that is probably his favorite part of history, so maybe 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:39.120 he does know a bit about it. Does Bernie Sanders? 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:42.360 Is he somebody who could speak about what's in Dusk Capital. 0:21:42.520 --> 0:21:44.000 I'm not even sure what I'm saying to you that 0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:48.199 Bernie Sanders understands the foundation of the ideology that he 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:52.159 is now the single most powerful representative of in the 0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:55.000 United States, and with that, in a sense, among the 0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:59.159 most powerful socialists in the world. He is representing a 0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:02.639 resurgence of this ideology. And I think that we're in 0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:06.480 the midst of this resurgence in part because of the 0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:11.040 great success of the opponents of socialism, the capitalist impulse 0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:14.960 that has been on display in this country for well, 0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:18.919 depending on how you want to define it, let's just 0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:22.359 say in the post World War two era, because socialism 0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:25.639 was ascended during the Great Depression. That was when all 0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:29.280 of a sudden the storyline and journalists were favorable to it. 0:22:29.440 --> 0:22:31.159 By the way, man, I mean the most elite journalists 0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:33.960 in the country. Lots of journalists thought that the Soviet 0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:36.840 Union had figured all this out. They bought into the propaganda. 0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:40.040 The same dumbasses who write for the biggest newspapers that 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:43.359 are on the biggest cable news shows in the country today, 0:22:43.400 --> 0:22:45.760 who think that Jesse Smollett was telling the truth or 0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:48.720 they did think that. You know, you go back to 0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:53.200 Walter Duranti, you go back to the famine Ukraine and Nope, 0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:56.080 nothing going on there. They just believe they're either lied 0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:59.960 or believe the propaganda about there not being a faminine. 0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:02.240 I think it was nineteen thirty four to nineteen thirty five. 0:23:02.359 --> 0:23:05.480 The Ukrainians called it the Whole of the Moor or 0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:10.840 Just and it was another weaponized famine, talk about state control, 0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:18.000 enforced deprivation and desperation. Sanders is not even a clever socialist. 0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:22.200
