You are entering the freedom hunt. The Democrat Debates Part two. Quite a bit of crazy, quite a bit of socialism, open borders. Oh my, we're gonna have some fun on this Friday, pulling apart all the nutso stuff from the left. Coming up on the Buck Sexton Show. Bucks Sextons, Decoding the news and disseminating information is actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, American. Ready, you're a great American again. This is the Bucks Sexton Show.
Former CIA analysts. Remember I can speak for three hours without a phone call. Try doing that sometime. I've been watching the debates a little bit in between meetings, and I wasn't impressed less. But when you look at the socialism and you look at what it can do, that's what you're talking about there. Yeah, that's become like the Socialist Party. In fact, I heard there's a room of the Democrats are going to change it's the name of the party from the Democrat Party to the Socialist Party.
I'm hearing that, but let's see if they do it. Welcome to the Buck Sex and sure everybody coming to you live from New York City. Ay, if I'm watching that debate last night, I was at a little debate watching party, a bunch of conservatives here in New York that they do exist, believe it or not. I think we're outnumbered in Manhattan eight to one. But there we go, producer Mike, there's a few of us running around. Yeah,
I thought you way higher than that. But yeah, I mean I actually thought I was hired that too, But I heard eight to one last night was the number I was told. So it makes sense because there's there's not stealth conservatives here, you know what I mean, you don't. They don't want to talk about it, but and there's still some capitalists minds every day. That's what I'm doing, That's how we roll. So it was quite an event last night, this debate, Part two, two nights, ten candidates
at a time, turned into a free for all. At some point. There was a lot of squabbling, a little bit of yeah, a bit of this, a little bit of that going on. I would say this to you, think about for those of you who watch the debate, I'll just put this out there, think about a what the Democrats would do differently from what they are currently proposing to do if their plan was to destroy our economy and make our country much less free and much poorer.
What would they do differently now? Now, really think about that, because I understand that that's a somewhat inflammatory thing to say. It's essentially, if the Democrats wanted to destroy this country, what policies would they would they advocate for? Now differently? Because you it wouldn't be true if you said, oh but buck Well, they would just say, why don't we start a big war with some foreign country? Which maybe they'll do that at some point, but no, because then
they wouldn't get elected. But if their plan was to say stuff that would put them in power and to push policies that once they were in power would be disastrous for America, I think they've got a pretty I think they've got a pretty good platform. Going green New Deal,
which is just green socialism. Put them in charge of everything, make energy much more energy, much more expensive, shutdown drilling wherever they can, push for nonsense, boondoggle green energy programs all over the place, Promise a government green energy job for everybody. It's just gonna be bureaucrats pushing around paper pretending to create energy. You know, Medicare for all wildly expensive, completely completely impossible for our budget to handle. They say that, oh,
they'll be all these savings. Those savings are magic. It's never going to happen. No deportations, full amnesty, nicer and come fier accommodations across the board for people that come into the border illegally, make sure that they're let into the country without so much as a simple will check. Open borders, an erosion, a destruction of American sovereignty. So we've already got run the debt up into the into just the stratosphere, beyond where it already is. It's already
a huge problem. But just you know, take the debt to thirty fifty trillion. Who cares, Medicare for all, free stuff, free stuff, free college, wipe away one point six trillion in student loans, just socialize that loss and the rest of us. What am I missing? Oh yeah, destroy the family. Say there's no such thing as male female gender abortion on demand, all nine months of a pregnancy paid for by you, the taxpayer, even if you think it's murder. What else am I missing? What else is there? Oh?
And white male privilege is the one thing that everybody can blame for all of their problems. I think if you were trying to kick at the load bearing walls of America. That's a pretty good start. If your plan was to just bring this whole thing crumbling down and make it anew in some socialist, utopian, progressive Marxist dream, those are all pretty good ways to go about it. Now, you could say, but pa, come on, that's extreme. Well, okay,
but last night was extreme. There were moments last night that even for me, as somebody who works in politics or covers politics, i should say for a living, were a bit of a flabbergasting moment was nearly dumbfounded. For example, when the Democrats this should be an easy one, and I can't really I want to play the audio though you won't see what happened. But this was the for me, the single most powerful, most important moment of the entire
debate last night. We'll get into the Biden Harris throw down later. That's more internal Democrats stuff. What affects you, what affects this country, What's going to matter to you and to all of us going forward? That is American sovereignty and rule of law, and how immigration or illegal immigrations specifically an illegal aliens in this country and the continued massive inflow. A mass migration of illegal aliens in
the United States is occurring right now. And when Democrats are asked in front of millions and millions of their fellow Americans, well, what are you what are you willing to do for legal aliens? And really embedded in this question is how will you treat American citizens and in a way that it's clear you privileged their interests above non citizens, which I know this seems really mean to Democrats. I know this seems like, oh, it's it's an inhumane
and terrible thing to say. But our government, which has sovereignty over US soil but also has a relationship to all of us and makes claims on us. Our government makes claims on your property through the tax code, our government makes claims on your action through the legal code, makes claims on your life through selective service. I mean, you know, there's a lot that goes into this. But the Democrats and the left are no longer comfortable with
the government that says citizens should be privileged. The states should work the big es state the federal government to privilege the interests of citizens over non citizens who are here illegally. I'm not even talking about Green Cardinal. I'm talking with people that are not supposed to be in the country, that are here in direct violation of federal law. When the Democrats on that stage were asked, what would you be willing to do when it comes to healthcare
for illegals, here is how that went. Play one, raise your hand if cover, if your government plan would provide coverage for un docum minuted immigrants. Every hand on that stage. Every Democrat on that stage raised a hand, every single one of them. Now, I just want to take a
step back for a second here. You will recall that some of us, and I was one of them on the right, we're warning all along that with the massive government healthcare bill known as Obamacare put forward, and all that that would do, and all the increases in government control of her healthcare and everything that I would do, it was only a matter of time before they would expand this to illegals. In Hillary's campaign, and this did not get much cover to the media, but it was
on her campaign website. She had as part of her platform that illegals could be under Obamacare, but they just would not get the subsidies. So we went from Obama. Oh remember when that man yelled about you lie. Number of Congress that Obama. Everyone said it was so racist and terrible because Obama said that it wouldn't That was over this issue whether Obamacare would cover illegals. Well now effectively. Oh, then Obamacare just really expanded Medicaid, which is government paying
for your healthcare. Now we're moving towards single payer. And yeah, I guess what now they do want to give money to illegals for their healthcare. Money comes from you. They're going to take money from you under pain of imprisonment if you don't want to give it, so you don't pay your taxes, you go to prison. But they're gonna take money from you now, and they're going to use that money to pay for abortions. Oh, for illegals as well, by the way, including illegals who are juveniles called at
the border. Liberals get very upset if if that doesn't happen and they want to take money from you to pay for the healthcare of people who are not supposed to be in this country at all. Well, once that happens, once it's clear that you can directly benefit from the American welfare state courtesy of the American taxpayer, and you don't even have to obey laws together. All you do is get here. It is open season. This is forced
theft from American citizens. They are stealing from you to give to people that under the social contract and the constitution of this country should not be receiving anything from you. But it's about power and the Democratic parties future voting blocks, and so they're willing to steal from you, legalized theft to give to people who are in violation of the law. And if you have a problem with it, and you are not okay with this, that's on you. You're a
bad person. This Democratic Party, they would have told us even five years ago. I would have said, no, they're not We're not going to We're not going to have government healthcare for illegals. Now, think about what that means. If you come to this country now and you're an illegal from say Central America, which is where we have this massive inflow of migrants, and I've been down to the border to cover this and speak to them and
see as much as I can of what's happening. If you can just get to the southern border and you have a child with you, you are now according to Democratic Party, you should be guaranteed entry in the United States. You should never be You should never have to go through a legal process where you will realistically face any threat of deportation or even sanction, even paying a fine. You get to stay in the country. You're going to
get free healthcare. If you have a child here, you will immediately benefit from the full the full range of federal welfare programs, and Democrats fight like mad to make sure that you can't shut that off from people who are benefiting from that. You will never be deported. How is this not open borders? If you can come here guaranteed to stay, don't have to have any immigration processing other than I'm here, and you get to stay, and you're gonna get federal benefits paid for by the taxpayer
that you have no say in. That feels like open borders to me. This is the This is really the end of America, folks. If they do this, if they get away with this, if this ends up happening, if anyone can just come and stay and help themselves to money that comes from you, which means really your labor and your time is now being seized by the federal government to be given to people who do not obey
our laws who do not care. And I know we're supposed to believe that they have some cultural affinity for America and they're here just because they love it so much, or they're here because it's where the best welfare stuff is that happens too. Go speak to some Swedes about some of their Mid East refugees and how much they adapted to Swedish culture. There are whole areas where you won't hear anyone speaking Swedish, and you have a lot of people who hate the Swedish state, but they're living
on the welfare rolls. We have an assimilation process in this country that has been going on for a long time that is based on people coming in an orderly and legal fashion, and there are stops and starts to it. There are ups and downs inflows and cessations of those inflows.
Now we are to believe that after the largest surge in immigration in overall numbers in the history of this country, stretching back for decades, and with a million a year coming in from Central America, you know, it's not that expensive to fly to Mexico from some third country. I have seen Cubans and Bangladesh. E's and pakistanis. And you know, you see people showing up at the border from now all over the world. When is it too much? When do we become I'm a laughing stock. Find me another
country that has this policy. Find me another country that says, come here, just show up and we'll You don't even have to do it the way we tell you to do it. You just show up and we'll give you free stuff. And by the way, one of our two major political parties will tell you that you are owed this. And anyone who says you're not owed it is a xenophobe and a racist and a bigot, and you should dislike them and feel like they owe you even more.
It's not exactly a recipe for a harmonious society they're setting up, is it. Remember the remember the fundamental question of the day. If the Democrats were trying to undo and ruin this country within the parameters of what could get enough vote that they'd be in power, right. So not just I'm not saying they're gonna like seize the nuclear silos and fire them on Oklahoma. I'm just saying if they were trying to seize power with a platform where they one could achieve power and two could destroy
the country. What would they be doing differently? I think last night, with what we saw on immigration, it's a very hard question to answer. Never mind all the other stuff about the socialism and the social justice and all the rest of it. We have a very packed show, as you might have guessed, friends, So stay with me. People who have who come to our country and want to be admitted, have to meet certain standards. That's the way it is, but it isn't and I've had this
conversation with my Republican colleagues frequently. It shouldn't be a crime to have a visa, to have a status violation. If somebody commits a crime or is it guilty of a crime and they're in our country, prosecutorial disquestion would warrant that they are justified that they be sent away.
So nobody's saying that people are But if you overstay your visa or you're coming in as this family would have been coming in, but they had narrowed the number of people coming in through the ports of entry, so they were coming in not to pert and that's not unusual Democratic candidates, This is a democratic party, folks, Open borders, that's what they are. If it's not a problem to overstay your visa, guess what, madame genius, who's going to
go through the immigration process. Why put yourself through all the years and the lawyers and the man hours and everything else. When you can just say, oh, I'm just gonna get a visa to visit and I'm gonna stay. Why not When you stay beyond your visa, you're effectively breaking a promise to the government that you're only here for a certain period to do certain things. This is
why they don't believe in consequences. Or maybe they do and they just realize the real con quence here is by not enforcing the laws, the Democratic Party will be in power forever and the Republican Party is finished. I mean, I think that is what they want. That is what they get excited about. But they have to own this now. They have to be honest about it. They can't hide from this anymore. I mean, you've got to speaking of owning things and being honest and not being able to
hide from it anymore. The border crisis, for example, the border crisis, Mike pulled this one for me. This is here is we liked a little a little Don Lemon versus don Lemon on the border fifteen is manufactured. It's a manufactured crisis, a non crisis at the border. That's really not fooling anybody. And for anybody who doesn't think immigration is a crisis, a deadly serious crisis, a humanitarian crisis, I gotta show you this picture. It's a shocking, devastating picture.
It's a father and his nearly two year old daughter. They drowned at the US Mexico border. Father and daughter drowned on Sunday. They attempted to cross the Rio Bravo. That is what the immigration crisis looks like. All of this, this whole mess is manufactured. It's a manufactured crisis. I mean, so you know, so it's a non crisis. It's manufactured, he says, on one hand, and then and then he says it is it is a christ by Well, it's the Rio he Ma at the Rio grand I assume, right, yeah,
he's the Rio Bravos. Any whatever. Um. Seems like Democrats have had to come around on the reality what's happening down there. I think it's also time that we don't let them get away anymore with how they're open borders. If they want to be open borders, they just need to say that and then we can have that national discussion. But when you don't believe in enforcement and everyone gets to stay and every can cross, that's open borders, folks. He's holding the line for a buck. Sexton is back.
It turns out the Rio Bravo is the thing producer, Mike, what is this? I thought it might be because that's such a that's not even close to Rio grass. So that's what it's called in Mexico. Yeah, so the Rio grand otherwise known as the Rio Bravo del Norte, is the Spanish version, and there's you know, they can't there's an oxtion arcicle in the Dallas Observer why people call two things. How they can't come to an agreement on it?
So yeah, man, hey man, Don Lemon right on point, dude, you question the Lemon at your peril and the accidental uh was was the saying accidental journalism one Don Lemon's part, you question, you question Lemon at your peril exactly. Just one more thing on the on the border before we get back into the baits uh ilhan Omar kind of represents I think the pretty well the far left position on what's going onto the border. And we just spent
four billies. You were spending four billion dollars of taxpayer money as to deal with the emergency at the border. And we're trying to send you more resources, which means more foods, more beds, more personnel, more medical services. All of this. This is money that is coming from the US Treasury. This is money that you are paying into the treasury with your taxes every single day. And we're bad people because we're not doing enough. This is what
it is with Libs. We're never doing enough for non Americans. We do, but we do plenty. You know, we got we've got a veteran homelessness crisis going on in different cities. We've got opioid crisis going on across We're living seventy thousand of our fellow Americans a year. How much interest do you see from Libs to deal with the opioid crisis which is still still killing seventy thousand people a year? Okay?
How much interest and outrage you see in them dealing with that versus what's going on in our southern border. You know what separates families a drug overdose? It separates them forever. Way less interest in tackling that problem from from liberals because there's no they don't see a political advantage in it. If they did not see political advantage in what was happening at our southern border, they would
care a whole lot less, if not at all. Ilhan Omar, though, wants us to know that we are not generous enough. We do not do enough for the illegal aliens coming into this country late eighteen. Nothing we did today make sure that any of the money we send would be used to make sure that kids have a proper place to sleep, that they are no longer going to be intellegents, that they're going to have proper care. We had that opportunity, We had an opportunity to put forth a humanitarian policy,
and we wasted that opportunity. And it's quite sad, and I hope that Americans are as called as I am. Americans are as all as she is. Demogoguery never stops with the left, and we remember the Democrats were the ones that we're holding up this bill initially, and now the Democrats are doing what exactly, complaining that it's not
enough money. You know, they don't want any enforcement. If you want to stop the problem from continuing, you have to convince people that they should not keep doing this. They don't want the Democrats don't want to do that. They want this to be exactly as it is. We all know why we do not have a partner in the other party in handling the immigration crisis. They believe in expanding it and continue. They think that this should really be the status quote. But let's get back, shall we,
to the craziness of it. That was ilhan Omar. She wasn't up there on the debate stage last night. Let's go wait, wait before there's one thing here. Hold on a second. So we had a little Spanish. We had to clarify some Spanish there with real ground in Real del Norte. But somebody else needs a little Spanish clarifier. Uh. Build a Blasio down in Miami decided to go full
che gavara on. People gathered together plate twelve thirteen thirteen, here with you every seven the asta la victoria cmprey hmhmm, you mean build a Blasio likes to go down to Miami, where you have a lot of Cuban exiles, people that fled Cuba because of the destruction visited upon that tropical island by Marxist ideology and the terrors of total are
in communism and build the Blasio. That big goof gets up and quotes Je Gavara Jevara, who still is a figure that the left is beloved and left, even though he used to set up the guys for the firing squads and horribly persecuted political dissidents. Uh, persecuted Gaze was a really bad guy, really really bad guy. But the left still, you know, it's kind of like they're they still have, you know, a little bit of fondness for Karl Marks, and I think a lot of left is
still have a little soft spot for Stalin too. I'll be honest with you. It's there there, che Guvara. That did not do well for build the Blasio. So at least there there was not as much pandering in Spanish language last night, if I recall, I did not see as much of that. You do not have Corey Booker, who was like, uh, komo esta you know Mayamo quote, I don't know how speaks better. How do you say my name Mayamo? That's right, yeah, Mayamo or Booker. Yeah,
he's the king of awkward. Thanks Cory bartacast I know I know Natalan, it's mik Yamo that's you know, mik Yama Buck. I don't know if you said Nikiyama Buck, They're like, what is that? It's not a name. All right, Now back to the debate. We had some interesting stuff going on here Kamala Harris. When Kamala had her big night last night, everybody was all Kamala because the media has been waiting for We'll get into some Kamala stuff in the next hour. We have Jesse Kelly's gonna join
us later on the show. He's buddy of mine, and uh, he's he's been a very early um because he's a very early proponent of Kamala Harris's. We have to like watch with Jesse and Jesse, you're a married man, you gotta watch what you say. Yeah, he's a fan. He's a big fan of kamalas always always has been. Um. Look I was I used to say sometimes, you know, I thought christin Cinema had her moments, you know, in that race too, But I don't know he's he's a
Kamala Harris. He's a Kamala Harris fan. So uh, here's here's what Kamala said, though, when when we you had the same question post the first night, you had them all ask what's the biggest threat, and at least four of the ten said climate change, which in a world where you have radical Islam arising China, nuclear weapons, I would even take if somebody said that they thought the
biggest threat to this country was a pandemic. Pandemic disease at least there's a historical precedent for that, killing forty million people in the twentieth century, So I would say that that's you know, that might not keep you up and now or now, but if you talk to anybody who knows anything about pandemic disease, they would say that,
I actually, we're kind of due for one. And it would with the with the with the way our transportation system works now, and the density population density we would get if we had a flu virus that was true, that was at a high lethality rate, I mean, it would be very bad news. So that would be like, I'm not saying that would be the answer. I'm just saying, that's an answer that a non crazy person can give or opioids. Opioids as a national emergency. Absolutely, we're losing
seventy thousand people a year. You think about a huge packed football stadium full of people who will not be here next year, who were lost to their families, many of them lost in their late teens, in their early twenties. That's a crisis. These are thank you mine for the opioids. These are the things that real people worry about. One of the one of what the defining characteristics the Democratic Party is they have so much focus. They look so
much at things that normal people don't worry about. It doesn't keep me up late at night. If there are thirty seven genders on the application to college, or if there are two, there should be two. But if they want to do thirty seven, I mean, I guess crazy can be fun, but it doesn't really matter all that much. The things that really do matter they often put aside, where they have these these very vague and emotion driven responses about and then there there's the whole slew of
immage issues that for the Democratic parties. So are they talk about voter suppression like it's happening with the voter suppression is the figment of their imagination. Oh, dark money in politics what does it even mean, Oh, the risk to our democracy, undermine our institutions? What who? Who's worried about this stuff? This isn't real. This is all just perception. This is manufactured in the swamp and in the media,
mainstream media newsrooms, and in Hollywood. This isn't real. And then you get when you get to climate change, the fact that they've they've we're talking about a decoupled, nonlinear chaos system of global weather, and they think that that's the biggest that we can predict. It's the biggest threat we face. Even if some of their predictions are true. You know, Charleston, it's a great city. It's you know, losing some grout. You know, places have been losing ground
to the ocean for a long time. Erosion happens. All this has been going on for all of history. But will adapt, It'll be okay, it's fine. There are ways to ways to figure this stuff out. We've overcome this before.
You know, it would have been a rational position to say in the nineteenth century that human beings are going to outpace the food supply and they'll be mass starvation and die off until they then because they could not foresee genetically modified crops, and the advances and transportation and refrigeration and science and all. They couldn't foresee that. But they couldn't foresee that there are more and more people
every year. We don't they know, these people that are all freaked out about climate change, they don't know what's gonna what the world is going to look like in five years, never mind fifty kind of technological breakthroughs that will be the way. You know, Yeah, at some point there will be clean energy when it's efficient and smart, and that's what people want, and that's what they're going to do. We're not going to be It's not gonna have to be forced on us because people will choose
it because it is the right thing to choose. But we're not there yet. That's why when we talked about the greatest threats, you know, I mean, here's Kamala Harris answering that question about the greatest threat, and there are a bunch of Green New Deal or climate change is the biggest threat. I think the Green New Deal is the biggest threat in some ways. But here's what Kamala said for what is immediate and before us right now.
That is why I support a Green New Deal. It is why I believe on day one and as president, will re enter us in the Paris Agreement because we have to take these issues seriously. And frankly, we have a president of United States. We talked about. You asked, but for what is the greatest national security threat to the United States? It's Donald Trump. And I'm gonna tell you why. And I'm gonna tell you why because I'd agree climate change represents an existential threat. He denies the science.
President Trump is the greatest national security threat through this country, the sitting presid United States. This is such a reckless and stupid thing to say, and many Democrats say it. The most powerful Democrats in the country will say it. President Trump, meanwhile, has not started any wars, has not been bested in any major military crisis on the world stage. You know what, We have not been hit with a mass casualty terror attack while this president has been in office.
So I just I would like to know, can we base our assessment of national security risk upon reality or this fantasy land? Because the reality based assessment would say this is a president who has avoided un necessary war, who has avoided politically driven escalation in war, zones, who has not risked all kinds of policy, decades of policy in some vain search for trying to, you know, have a national security legacy like Obama did with Iran. How
he's the threat. If he's the threat, the establishment terrifies me. But this gets cheers, This gets applause from the left. No, remember this that the commander in chief who what was it now a week ago could have launched strikes that would have killed about one hundred and fifty people in Iran and possibly and there were experts and wanks and all saying, oh, yeah, you gotta do this. You gotta be tough, you gotta you know, you gotta smash Iran. They say, the man who said, I don't want to
do that, I'm gonna walk back from Matt. Let's let's Iran didn't kill any Americans with this strike. Let's see if we can figure this out another way. They're going on a debate stage in front of tens of millions of Americans last night and saying that that guy, that commander in chief, is the biggest threat to our national security. These people are sociopaths, and they really have a problem.
It's like they've learned nothing from Iraq and Afghanistan and the war on terror and what it really means when we do get involved in something that we either shouldn't be or that is not being managed well by the president, that not being managed well by the permanent bureaucracy. The cost of real people, the cost of people like you and me who are right now living in a country that is not in a state of constant war, that is not losing although we did lose two in Afghanistan
this week. I keep saying, you know, when are we gonna When is it enough? Folks? When is it enough? But it's a conversation for another time. President Trump is the biggest national security set, a national security threat. Only people who are completely nuts or total liars would say this, But this is what all the Democrats basically say, Trump and climate change. If Trump and climate change keep you up at night, you are emotionally disturbed, that's the truth.
We'll be back. The Republican Party likes to cloak itself in the language of religion. Now party doesn't talk about diet as much, largely for a very good reason, which was we are committed to the separation of church and state, and we stand for people of any religion and people of no religion. But we should call out hypocrisy when
we see it. And for a party that associates itself with Christianity to say that it is okay to suggest that God would smile on the division of families at the hands of federal agents, that God would condone putting children in cages, has lost all claim to ever use religious language again. Vice President Pope Pete, as they're calling him now, he is a sanctimonious pain in the neck. First of all, No one says that God would smile
in the separation of parents from their children. But does he have this degree of sanctimony When people who are involved in minor administrative infractions against the state that involve criminal penalties are separated from their families, People who are engaged inside trading, people who maybe do a little uh, you know, a little little business fraud of some kind, tax evasion, they get separated from their families. Is that the Democrats they smile on? But it's a strong man.
No one says that the smiling. But I want to know for Mayor Pete, because he seems to like to invoke religious language sometimes when it suits him. In a
very smug and annoying way. What does he think about the Democratic Party that now pretty much universally and across the board, believes that something that is in a woman's womb at nine months, that has a brain and a heart and yes, a soul, is not a human being and can be destroyed and ripped apart at will and should be paid for by the American taxpayer against their will. What does God smile? I want to know that I was so much, she asked Mayor Pete. Does God smile
on planned parenthood? Mayor Pete? Do you like that? Did you tell God that it's a woman's choice. He's gonna do what she wants with her body. It's a constitutional right. All the nonsense, all the tall points, all the lies. Where's Mayor Pete on that one? You know you're going to use the religious language, Mayor peat You got to watch out, my friend. That can that stuff can come around to bite you. Oh and also, why do you have one of the worst murder rates of any city
in the country in South Bend. In the end, I think that's a question that somebody should probably ask Mayor Pete at some point. So brilliant can't seem to stop the murder rate. There's a lot of talk in this primary about new government benefits such as student loan cancelation, free college, healthcare, and more. Do you think that Democrats have a responsibility to explain how they will pay for every proposal they make along those lines. Well, let me
tell you something. I hear that question. But where was that question when the Republicans and Donald Trump passed a tax bill that benefits the top one percent and the biggest cooperation in this country, contributing at least a one trillion dollars to the debt of America, which middle class families will pay for one way or another. Working families need support and need to be lifted up, and frankly,
this economy is not working for working people. I am proposing that we change the tax code so for every family that is making less than one hundred thousand dollars a year, they will receive a tax credit that they can collect at five hundred dollars a month. On day one, I will repeal that tax bill that benefits the top one percent. Just a big giveaway of money and free
stuff and free, free, free and rich people. Bad and class warfare, and what a mess, What a mess it was last night hearing these Democrats talk about what they want to do and how they're going to do it. Well, the how is always very fuzzy, right, The how is always just a mishmash of well rich people and one percent and this and that. And she says that they're going to the GOP tax cut. How do you pay
for a tax cut? This? This is the inversion of logic and the abuse of language that we always have to deal with when we talk about when we're talking about what the Democrats are proposing. You keeping more of your money is not paying for That's not a paying for anything. That's you keeping more of your money. We don't pay for tax cuts. Now, you can say we should not be running a deficit every year, and that's fine,
but that's a separate part of that. That's a different approach to the issue than oh, we need to find a way to pay for it. Because you had a lot of money that went back to a lot of people under the tax cut, over eighty percent. And this is just this is a fact thing. Over eighty percent of people who paid taxes received a tax cut. Now, I'm somebody who really does get tired of Democrats pretending like the tax burden is not already owner in this country,
because it is. You know, if you if you ever look at how much you pay in taxes, when you add it all together and you think about how many hours that means you are showing up to your job, and you are effectively sending all of that cash in an envelope to Uncle Sam. And if you're somebody who's working hard and working along hours, you know you're paying a lot more than you're getting back in services. With all of that going on, they still think that our
taxes need to be higher. They still think that we have to pay more of our fair share, whatever that means. It's just it just drives me nuts. But you know, this is what they're really all about. Class warfare, the removal of individual responsibility away from people. You know, you can't you have no economic mobility, you can't raise yourself up, you can't make better decisions to improve your lot in life. It's on the government to do this. You know, the
language that they use is very instructive. An economy that works for everyone. The economy doesn't work for you. You work in the economy and the problems with their economy tend to come from government intervention and regulation, not just the way things happen to be because of the free market. You know, the government. And this is why if you haven't read it, I mean, I do recommend the Road to Serfdom by Hyak, which I know Glenbeck, my old
mentor and boss, very much popularized some years ago. But Hyak just walks you through how with every government action in a market, there are additional things that happen. There is a there is an imbalance that occurs because the government does tells you has to do this thing, and then something else happens, and then the government says when they're going to fix that imbalance, and then they do
something else, and they do something else. With market intrusion comes more market intrusion, and they always want to fix what they've done in the first place to create those dysfunctions, and they don't fix it, they just create more dysfunction.
This is why you want the absolute minimum of market interference, because the way the way that we have our economy set up, and the genius of the American system is that you benefit from good decisions, responsible behavior, being law abiding, thinking about the future and trying to work with work within the system that we have as as productively and effectively as you can, and you will benefit from that at different levels. Look, would it be nice if I were born to, you know, a family that had a
billion dollars and I didn't have to ever worry about Yeah? Sure? Is it fair that there are people that are born into really wealthy families while while other people are not. No, it's not fair, but it is what it is. We have to deal with the real world, with private property, with the imbalance of luck and talent. Look, a huge
part of success is luck. I mean, that's one I wish Republicans would make, would make more of a case of this, just so that because what Democrats suggest all the time is, oh, but you know, if someone's doing really well there, they must have cheated and they must be greedy. Now they don't think that about people who are Democrats who are really rich, of course, but they say this in general terms. There's this bad other people, the bad rich people out there. They're greedy and they
have things, and they have too much. This is the class warfare, the envy streak that is so central to the Democrats into their whole ideology. I would like to see Republicans not just make the case that you know, this is a country where you have so much good that comes from individual ingenuity and hard work, and that we have the companies we do and the economy we do and the advances we do because people benefit from it. Right.
If you want to see what happens when we're all just doing it for the common good and no one benefits individually, go see what the Soviet Union was like. But because we do have incentives for individuals, we all benefit as a result, and we all can benefit too. But also there's luck involved in it. Not everyone it's going to be a millionaire, folks. You can play your cards right, do everything the way you're supposed to do.
Not everyone's going to be a millionaire. And a lot of people say, yeah, I don't even want to be a millionaire. And there's there's some very interesting studies out there about how you know you need depending on where you are, you know you need a certain amount of money to meet your needs, and money does make you markedly happier up to that level. And I think at
a national level it's something like seventy thousand dollars. You know that when you make when you're making fifty and then you make sixty, that extra ten grand I mean, you really feel that that really helps when you're making a sixty and then you make seven. But once you get up to seventy, it starts to level off a
little bit. And I think the seventy number. Don't don't hold me to that, but it's something like that, once you get up that seventy number, you know, okay, well, now you make eighty, it's nice MC ninety, it's not you know, and you go up the ladder, and it doesn't necessarily make you happier. It might make you more financially secure, but it doesn't make you happier, and that's, you know what we're not. I think part of the problem here is that what the Bernie Sanders, you know,
millionaires of billionaires. It's like, yeah, you can tax the millionaires and billionaires all you want, it's not gonna make everybody else a millionaire. It's not gonna make everybody else feel like they're way ahead of things, and they're just crushing it in life. So they're tapping into this sense of envy and resentment and they're not replacing it with
anything that's gonna make your life better. If I thought that single payer and Medicare for all was going to make the lives of people listening to this radio show easier, your bills would be easier to pay, and you'll be happier. I would tell you that if I really believe it,
but I can. What I can tell you is that the problems that I see in our healthcare systems are the incentive structures that are in place, that are being constantly undermined and pushed aside in favor of this redistributionist someone else is going to pay for it. Healthcare is a human right, nonsense. If you want to see who the bad guys are now in the healthcare system, it's not a lot of the insurers are actually nonprofits, which
people forget they took all the insurance company profits. Insurance company profits are pretty slim. If you want to know where you get r Ekt wrecked in the healthcare system now, it is hospital systems. Hospitals will ring you out and leave you with nothing. And even if you have insurance and you have increasingly you have all this consolidation because of the bureaucratic costs and Obamacare and all this stud the regulation, all this stuff so that doctors get bought
up by these hospital systems. This is I was when I was traveling in China. I was with a number of surgeons. I was talking about this. Doctors get bought up by these hospital systems. So now you're going to see your specialist in the hospital. But the moment you need real hospital services, you are just getting. This is where you see the crazy stuff where you know, an advilla is like forty bucks, and you know, I mean,
I'm something I speak of what I know. I went into an emergency room, didn't even get seen by a doctor. They took my blood pressure and my temperature and sent me a bill for a thousand dollars that my insurance did not pay for it. And though I had insurance and I was at a hospital that was in my network because it was not no inductible You wanner, who's being greedy? That's now the hospitals would turn around and say, but Buck, we have to we have to see anyone
who shows up the AR. We gotta treat all the illegals who come into the AR. We gotta treat all the people that you know, we're on Medicaid, and you know there's all these other Yeah, exactly, but this is not the market that's not working. These are mandates from the government. But no, just just tax people more. Just tax them more. That's gonna fix it. It's gonna fix the whole thing. You know, say, oh, look at Canada. Canada has like less people in the state of California.
Do you think we're going to create a national healthcare system in this country that's going to function efficiently? I mean, Bernie Sanders, whole thing is that you're gonna save more money. You know, you're you're gonna get more even though you're paying more in taxes because the system is gonna better. That's just crazy, that's not true. But the government all of a sudden is going to be efficient. The government's going to provide you with better services. Has he ever
dealt with the government before me? The guy works in the government, You think he'd knows something about it. Lies on top of lies, misdirection and just counterintuitive. You know, the things they're saying are not true, but they will keep saying them. And COMLA just suggests that, you know, all we have to do is tax the rich more. They'll pay for everything. You know who the rich are, folks. You everything I've done in my career, I ran because of civil rights. I continue to think we have to
make fundamental changes in civil rights. And those civil rights, by the way, include not just some way African Americans, but the LGBT community. But Vice President Biden, do you agree today? Do you agree today that you were wrong to oppose busing in America? Then do you agree I did not oppose busing in America. What I opposed is busing ordered by the Department of Education. That's what I opposed. Is not a failure of states to integrate public schools
in America. I was part of the second class to integrate Berkeley, California public schools almost two decades after Brown, by Board of Education. Because your city council made that decision. It was the federal government must stem in. That's why we have and the civil rights. That's why we need
to pass the Equality Act. That's why we need to pass the RA because there are moments in history where states fail to preserve the civil rights of r That was the moment, folks, that was when the the ambush was unleashed. The trap had been set. It was very It's very clear to me at least that Kamala was planning on going after Biden all night. That this was not this was not something that just organically happened. But I've been I've been telling you all along, and this
is not difficult analysis to do. I think this is this is pretty clear and widely widely understood, widely believed that there are really two main pathways here to the nomination. There's the establishment path and there is the progressive or
left wing socialist path. Now you might be saying, but Buck, even the establishment Democrats are yeah, I know, but within their own crazytown left wing universe, there's different levels of left wingness of left wing adherents, how far left you are, and you have really the race is on the one hand between Warren and Warren and Bernie Sanders for the progressive nomination, and then you have on the other side, the realistic options for the establishment pathway are people like Buddha, Judge,
Biden's obviously a very top of the list, Corey Booker, Kamala, Harris and Dad and then everybody else really who's in this whole thing at this point, they're just there to get some national level attention. And you know, no one including Eric Swalwell, thinks Eric Swalwell is going to be president. I think that's that's very obvious. But this moment where you had Kamala go after Biden, this had been brewing for a while. The media had been a part of this.
They had they had run, they had really given a lot of oxygen to the story about how Biden said that. Remember, he didn't praise and so there's a little bit of a disingenuous or dishonesty in the way this has all been set up. He didn't praise segregationists per se. He said he was able, he was able to work with everybody in the Senate across the aisle, even at a
time when there were people like that. So he's essentially saying I was able to be an effective senator while there were segregation to the Senate, no segregationist or gross and and you know it's find a totally take them to task for for what they were so very wrong on. But Biden wasn't saying, oh, these segregationist guys were great.
That's not what he said. But that's somehow what the media narrative and that's certainly what Kamala Harris was suggesting at some level that that that's really what he was saying, or that he was implying it or suggesting it. And this was the real moment that you knew, and I've been telling you all along, Biden is not the guy. All right, He's not going to be there guy. He's he's a third tier Democrat presidential candidate. He was in two thousand and eight, he is still now. Biden is
not the guy. But you know, he would have had to really come back and have something special because what what what Harris did was essentially in one fell swoop show that Biden's old, out of touch, been around forever, and it's basically a boring, old white dude who says whatever he has to say to stay in the good grace as the Democratic Party at any time, and it's time for it's time to move on. That's really what she was able to do, and she she went for it.
She was not met. And also he's not woke. He doesn't understand social justice, he doesn't understand all this left wing stuff. You know, this this left wing ideology that's constantly mutating. And Biden had a moment to go back and try to right the ship. And here's how that went, play seven thirty seconds because I want to bring other right from the very beginning. I'm the guy that extended to Voting Rights Act for twenty five years. Anyway, give
my time's up on thank president. Yeah, that was that was kind of whipped dog mode there for Biden. He's like, Oh, let's just let's just get out of here. Let's just get out of here, you know what it was Sometimes and you know, I do a lot of things on aerage, a lot of TV and radio, and sometimes you can't really your thought process. Sometimes you can't really stay away from you know, what you're thinking. And that whole well, my time's up. That was Oh man, that was rough.
Kamala went forward and she may have put herself in a position. Now Now the journos love Kamala and always have, so that's not that's not a surprise. They're gonna try very hard to help her move because that's what the last night for her was, just to put a move on Biden. Now she's hoping that she has momentum and starts chipping away at his leading the polls. Because once that begins. I don't think Biden. Biden has no political skills to speak of. Really, he can't turn this around.
He's a swamp creature who you know, gets the votes he needs to win in Delaware. He's been around in Delaware. He's got name recognition, and you know, he is very corporate friendly and does what he has to do to get things done in Delaware. But he's not a national level political figure. He's a vice president. Did anybody think that, oh, because you know, well, I was going to say to anything that al Gore should really be president. Apparently some
people did, which they should be really it. They should really think twice about that one. Now they should really have to give a long explanation for how that was possible. But yeah, but it's not going to be Biden. That's one of my most and you know it's true. It's one of my most confident predictions along. It's not gonna be Biden. So Harris, she sees her lane now after what happened last night, which for her is a big move, even if people didn't think that she necessarily won the debate.
I'd like to say something about the debate we had last night, and I heard and I listened to and I respect Senator Harris, but you know, we all know that thirty seconds to sixty seconds on a campaign debate exchange can't do justice to a lifetime committed to civil rights. I want to be absolutely clear about my record a
position on racial justice, including busting. I never, never, never, ever opposed voluntary buses and as a program that Senator Harris participated it and it made a difference in the leg I did support federal action to address root causes segregation in our schools and our communities, including taking on the banks and red lining and trying to change the way in which neighborhoods were segregated. I've always been in favor of views in federal authority to overcome state initiated segregation.
I don't think that he necessarily turned it around, folks, because showing up after the debate and trying to clarify your position can often feel a little bit like, yeah, you don't get like a TakeBack. See here, you don't get a mulligan. It's not they caught in golf producer Mike when you go again, right, yes, yes it is. Yeah, why they got to pick on the Irish guy hey, Am mulligan. Um, But yeah, No, I think I think Biden realized that, you know, he got kind of he
got his clock lean a little bit last night. In fact, over at CNN, which still considers itself a news network. A B. Stoddard went after took Biden to task a little bit. I think I think she was correcting this stuff. I think that he had a terrible night, and I think he has a lot of vulnerabilities that he will be reminded of. He protected the credit card companies, he supported segregation. He is a physical space invader. He laughs
about it. He does not talk about his strength in the race, which is that people are terrified and they want to get rid of President Trump, and they believe that Joe Biden is the only person who will be ready to clean up the mess that President Trump has made. He didn't talk about that last night. He doesn't say this is no time to take a chance. I'm the only one on the stage who can ABC and D. He just sat there looking terrified of his own twenty
nineteen Democratic Party. And if he does that again in the next debate, he's going to lose. Oh, He's gonna lose no matter what. I actually feel a little I have mixed emotions about what happened last night with Biden, because, on the one hand, I think it proved what I've been saying all along. This guy's out of touch. He's not somebody that's in line with this new, woke, really psychotic Democratic Party. I mean, he's a guy who used to be he was a a sanctimonious left of center pragmatist.
But he did take a pragmatic approach to things. You know, he likes big business, he likes getting corporate donations. You know, in the in the AOC infused Democratic Party, there's really not much of a room for guys like there's not much room for guys like Biden, and there's not gonna be room much longer at all for any of them. And you know, Biden forgets that he's part of a political party now where apologizing for white maleness is considered a thing you have to do. You have to apologize
for your white maleness. If I were a Democrat, I have to walk around like I am so sorry that I'm white and I'm male, and I'm like I can't change it. I'm like really sorry about it. But that's what I have to do. You got to bend the knee and say, man, it's it's really uh, there's no way I can make it up to you America. But I am white and I am mail, and I accept that that means that there's all the kinds of bad
things that I'm responsible for or whatever. That's the Democratic Party that Biden's trying to maneuver through right now, and I just don't think it's going to work for him. I don't think it's I don't think it's going to happen. He also is very friendly with credit card companies, and I just credit card companies are very powerful, and they
get away with stuff that other people wouldn't. They There was this whole thing for a while where they used to move around the date on people of when they're of when their payment was due, and they would just move the date and they'd give some you know, some probably mail modification or whatever, and then if you didn't pay on the new date, if you were, you know, a day late, then they kick up your APR or
like thirty percent or whatever it is. I mean, it's really it was really fraudulent, and a lot of credit card companies were doing this until just a few years ago, and they never were really called out and punish for it. It's also a lot harder to get rid of credit card debt now that it used to be and discharge it. So you know, there's real Biden is vulnerable on this stuff.
It's true, he's very vulnerable in all of this. And I've I've known all along that he the moment that Democrats realize that he's not the safe choice, because that's what they've been thinking all along, though, the moment that they understand that Joe Biden is really just a relic of a of a bygone Democratic Party, they're going to turn on him. And that's that's what's been happening. And the media has been preparing for this all along, you know.
But by my the reason that I feel a little bit of two much about this is it's nice to be right, but I was very confident. I mean, I I love the matchup of Biden against I don't care
what the pull say. I love the matchup of Biden against Trump because you know, you look at the states that are really going to matter and the people that are that are undecided and all that, and I just think that you're there's no way that give in the power of the incumbency and the success that President Trump has had so far, there's just no way that Joe Biden would be able to come up with a really effective messaging campaign for why it should be him instead
of Trump, because ultimately that's what it is. Ultimately, that's what it is. And yeah, he looked, he also attired. Man, There's there's nothing about him that is or was compelling. And then there's just Ted Cruz. By the way, I think he had a good He had a good moment on this. He wasn't on the debate stage. He's a Republican, but here's what he said about last night, and I think it's a good way to it's a good overview of what happened at twelve. Speaking of debates, how many
of y'all watched the Democratic debate last night? I thought i'd turned on Comedy Central. You know, there's actually a medical term for what's happening to the Democratic Party right now.
It's called stark raving nuts. Ted Cruz probably shouldn't quit his day job as a comedian, but he's right in his analysis, which is the Democratic Party I think did seem like it was just spinning off into another planet, and not just Mary Ann Williamson, who will talk more about who it's just Oh man, wow, if you haven't seen her, it's worth going back just to watch her answers in that debate. We'll be right back. I'm sorry we haven't talked more tonight about how we're going to
beat Donald Trump. I have an idea about Donald Trump. Donald Trump is not going to be beaten just by insider politics talk. He's not going to be beaten just by somebody who has plans. He's going to be beaten by somebody who has an idea. What this man has done. This man has reached into the psyche of the American people, and he has harnessed fear from political purposes. So, mister President, if you're listening, I want you to hear me. Please.
You have harnessed fear for political purposes, and only love can cast set up. So I, sir, I have a feeling you know what you're doing. I'm going to harness love for political purposes. I will meet you on that field, and sir, love will win. I think she wants to hug the president, Mike. I think of all the wacky stuff last time Mary Williamson. I mean, she's you know that I interviewed her, did you really yeah? Oh yeah, I interviewed her down in DC. And did she give
you a hug? I thought no, But I would have let her. I thought that I was gonna be able to get some real questions in that would at least four should give a real answer. But she is. When you talk to her, it's like all of a sudden, you hear wind chimes, you smell incense, there's you know, like a light breeze coming in the window, and then like maybe Lilith Fair music comes on, you know, Sarah McGlaughlin and and and then you just find yourself falling
into this craziness coma. You know, we're just like whatever. Where those one of those hipster sandals? I'm drawing a blank on the name. What Birkenstock. Yeah, they swear marking stocks. It's not a hipster those are those are what boomers wear with socks stocks. There are a couple of Birkenstocks wears listening to the show right now. I know who you are, I know where you are. I had to get my dad to get rid of his burken Stocks like ten years ago. But he loved them. He was.
I feel like he still has them hidden in his closet somewhere because they are they are very comfy. But yeah, that was a real nineties nineties kind of grunge hippie thing for a while. But Marian Williamson was was entertaining for sure. She was entertaining in part because she is
just about his substantive in some of her answers. A lot of the other Democratic candidates up there, she really is not the She's not the only one that just is like, yeah, I just want to like make all the people like better and the cool and like things will be great. I just want to give hugs to everyone. It's gonna be amazing. So she was. She was a bit on the on the entertaining side. You know. The
big beef today was Yang. They said that they didn't that that NBC cut his mic in the debate and that there was essentially debate foul play going on, and hashtag let yang speak has been trending on at least on my Twitter all day. Have you seen this? Yeah, I heard about dude yang Is. I like people who have ideas that are real ideas that they can put forward and we can discuss. You know, I'll say this about Yang in his I think his ideas wouldn't work
in practice. I think there's some huge flaws in them. But he's not he's not trying to become like a fascist dictator for the left. That's he's not really trying to do that. And you get with some of these
other types, you know, they scare me. I mean, Elizabeth Warren would look you in the eye after you had lost your house because there needed to be redistribution of wealth and you couldn't afford the taxes to pay for the house anymore to pay for all the other people's stuff, and you look in the eye and saying, well, oh, I'm sorry, but this is what fairness is. I'm like, you know, if you're a white male, sucks for you.
You're you're on your own. So you know, I think that Yang at least is better than He's better than that. He doesn't scare me same way. But you know, if you if you want to know what really the whole the whole thing yesterday was about feelings, but also one other thing, taxes. And they talked about this in the beginning,
and it was so clear to me. You know, this kind of brings this closes the loop on the on the whole debate because it was so obvious that Bernie Sanders, for example, when he's asked about taxes, didn't want to talk about taxes, didn't want to discuss tag because it's so much more fun. It's it's gotta be free. It's gonna be free here, it's gonna be free, Death's gonna be free everywhere. And you say, well, hold on a second, burnster. You know, Berner mcbernstein, what's going on here? How are
you gonna pay for all this stuff? And you know, NBC did ask some real questions and this is one of the moments when they asked a real question of him. And here's what he said. Play clip too. Senator Sanders, I give you ten seconds just to ask the answer, the very direct question, will you raise taxes for the middle class? In the Sanders administration, people who have healthcare on the Medicare for All will have no premiums, no deductibles, no co payments, no out of out of pocket expenses. Yes,
they will pay more in taxes. That's not Medicare. So what is what is Bernie Sanders really talking about what Bernie Sanders is proposing. For those who know what they're talking about and those who are really paying attention, what Bernie Sanders is proposing is that we take the part of the budget that is currently on an unsustainable footing that is way too expensive, and that is a pretend, a pretend paid for program, but is really just paid
for by future generations. It's just running up America's credit card all the time and saying somebody else will pay, which is Medicare. What he's saying is, let's do this program for everybody, and let's make it even more expensive than it is, as in, there will be no cost sharing, there'll be no paying of premiums. They'll just be the
government paying for everything. And this will cause a calamity in the healthcare system because one of the you know, there are folks you know you just think about the way this works in your own life. You get sick. You you know, you think, oh, you know, I don't know, maybe I have maybe I have strep throw Maybe I don't you know. If you're me, perhaps you're a little of a hypochondriac, you think, oh, but you know, strep throat.
It could be really bad. You can get some kind of I think you get some kind of weird fever from it, and which is true, you can if it lingers and gets bad. But you know, I'm like, I don't really want to go to the doctor. It's going to cost me with my co pay, you know, a one hundred bucks to see a one hundred bucks or eighty bucks or something. So I'm gonna wait a day or two. Oh dare two comes by. It looks like
I'll be okay. You got to You gotta make these kinds of decisions about your healthcare all the time, right, Do I want to go see a specialist? Well, you know, maybe this maybe I'll rub some dirt on it and they'll just you know, the swelling will go down on my knee and I'll see how it goes. You know, people make these decisions all the time. If you can just go to the doctor, just think about it this
way for a second. If you just go to the doctor and you pay nothing, you pay nothing, Think about the effect that that's going to have on how much and how frequently people go or how quickly and how frequently people go to the doctor, and they're not expanding the medical profession right now there. In fact, the people that I know who work in medicine are pretty actively discouraging other people from getting into it. So how do you know, how do you deal with this? How do
you expand care? Not just coverage? Right? Coverage is a promise to pay for care. And what they're saying here is that they're going to give coverage to everybody. But that just means the government's going to be stuck with the bill, which means we're all stuck with the bill for each other. But how do you make it so that there's a greater pool of healthcare service to give to people, so that then you can stay up with the demand? Right here, fundamentally, the things that Democrats reject
supply and demand. They think that the laws of economics, if you have a compelling enough case, if you're tier eyed enough when you're trying to, you know, get one thing or another thing going, they really believe that, you know, it doesn't it doesn't work, or doesn't it doesn't go anymore, And they're just wrong. They are just fundamentally wrong about this.
But they never learn the lesson. They never understand that being earnest and really wanting something to be a certain way does not mean it will be that way, does not mean that it will work the way you wanted to. And you cannot suspend the laws, the basic laws of economics just because you give a our respeech and say that something's a human right or we all have a right. Really we all do. We all have a right to see the best you know, the best doctors in the
city or the best doctors in the country. How's that going to work. It's not hard to figure out who the really highly respected, highly sought after doctors are, especially when you're talking about things like surgery, and does everybody Does everybody get to see the best doctor in the country? Okay, how do you make that supply available? You know, it would be nice if everybody could live in a mansion.
Why doesn't everybody live in a mansion? We have the technology, we have the ability to create mansions for everyone, but why don't we because we have limited resources, limited building material, etc. So there you have it. Marian Williamson was interesting, though, I'll give her credit for that. She's like, I just think that if we build the Love rocket ship and we go to Mars, we can find the Martians and show them our love together and that will save America.
And everyone's like, what, this lady's crazy, But I kind of like that. I kind of like the crazy that she's putting out there. Her level of crazy is is Wow, it's at least it's at least entertaining. She's the She's the kookiest of all the Democrats. She's the kind of Kucinich of this cycle. Except Kucinich wasn't he was he was weirder in his own way. I think it isn't his daughter on CNN now, am I? Yeah? I think so? All Right, it's good to have a famous last name.
He get jobs in media pretty easily. All Right, we'll be right back. All right, So what really happened last night? I've been telling you what I think, but I want to I want to bring in somebody for a second opinion. We're gonna go to a doctor of politics, of life of the Keto diet. Mister Jesse Kelly joins us now. He is the host of The Jesse Kelly Show, which is on KPRC down in Houston, a wonderful iHeart radio affiliate. You can follow Jesse on Twitter. Mister Jesse Kelly sir,
good to have you, this, good to be here. I love post debates. There's nothing more fun. Yeah, we just get to lean into it. So I gotta I gotta ask you this man. You know you and Kamala. People that know you know that you and Kamala have a little something special. You know that you you've been You've been on the Kamala train, not politically, but on a personal level. You are pro Kamala and have been for a while. So did you have any Inklina, any inkling?
Rather that that she was going to decide that it was time to suplex Biden off the top turnbuckle. Couple of things. One, yes, I've been on the kamalad wagons for a long time because she's smoking Bill Pop and everybody knows it, but nobody wants to admit it. And I value looks above everything else, as most Americans do. But two, I actually predicted this yesterday on my show in all seriousness. She is a former DA people forget that about her. She's the right age to run for office,
she has the right look to run for office. And please don't and everybody yell, I mean, I know she's a communist. I don't agree with her politics at all, but she is She speaks very well, she has a great voice, She comes off well on camera. And I predicted this last night. I said, you watch somebody, probably Kamala Harris is going to take a big shot at Joe Biden during the Democrat debate in night too, because they had to buff You couldn't let the front runner
again go an entire night without taking any shots. And so she made all of a sense in the world to be the one who was going to slip the knife into his ribs, and she did it, and she did it really well. Do you think that she now has has taken has put herself on the pathway to take the establishment lane. Oh? Absolutely. I think the nominee is going to be her or Elizabeth Warren, shockingly, but I would bet it will be one of those two people.
And Joe Biden is too old, and nobody likes to say that because they're one has such reverence, understandably so for old people. But the bottoms at some point you get too old to climb out everest, and at some point you get too old to run for president. And he's not the same guy he was for eight years under Obama. He's old and slow, he looks tired. People like Harris are over twenty years younger than him, and they're full of PEPs. And look, they're gonna come for him.
You can't survive as the front runner with twenty other candidates for a nine month primary. They're just gonna pick you to pieces like a pack of hyenas. Who last night to you? Jesse seemed the least crazy on that stage, because I think that's really the you have to come at it from that perspective. Who's because they're all different levels of crazy or at least fraudulent and slightly insane, But who was the least crazy? Yang? I think Yang see it. That was the first time I realized he's
relatively unknown. To be honest, he's relatively unknown to me. And even though he had all these ideas that I thought were absolutely winged that crazy, he comes off like somebody who's actually put some thought into them. He has ideas that he does think will help the American people. So many of the others either came off really angry, like Bud Bud Guck I can't say his name ever, or rehearsed. I mean as good as Kamala Harrison. I thought that came off completely rehearsed. You know, she did
that line in the mirror ten thousand times. Yang came off like a young, entrepreneurial, wealthy guy who has ideas to six things. I don't like his ideas, but he came off like a dude I'd have a beerless yeah. You know. I think it's funny too, because Yang is the he's kind of this outlier guy, and people act like, ooh Yang, like he's this radical. He actually stands up there and is like, here's the problem, here's what I
would like to do about it. One of the things that really struck me about all these democrats on that stage last night is they just say stuff and you're like, you know, well, Pete Buddha, judge or whatever. He was supposed to be so smart when he's asked what the biggest thing is that he would do. I would fix our democracy. That's a stupid thing to say. What does that even mean? Like Yang says, I'm gonna I'm gonna get rid of the welfare state, but just give everybody
a thousand dollars a month. Everybody gets a thousand dollars a month, you do with it what you will? You spend that money how you want. You know, you can say that's crazy, but that's a real thing. I will fix our democracy. This is what somebody who just finished the bikini competition says when they're hoping to get a crown. Well it's somebody without the media scrutiny. Now, don't get me wrong. What I'm about to say. I think has shifted to Kamala Harris after last night. But for so long,
Pete but a gag or whatever. I he was the Barack Obama of this race. You remember, Barack Obama had so much good graces, He had a paper sin resume, he had virtually no solid stances on the issues, but because he was the first black candidates, the media felt the need to prop him up. But a gig gets that same grace for being the first game anyone. He's white Obama, that's who. He launched a campaign with no
issues page on his website, yet a page to sell merchandise. Well, look, I mean he's he's a guy though that I will heat like he does. He's a he's a veteran Rhodes scholar, So I think that he's he's got the resume thing going for him in a way that none of these
other Democrats really. I mean, yeah, they've been in office and whatever, but they didn't like, there's nothing about these Democrats like, oh, that person's like super smart, right, I mean, you know, Joe Biden's just been around forever, and yes, he's part of the LGBT community. So there's there's clearly a diversity component that Democrats get excited about. But he
wasn't the only one. I mean, there were a whole bunch of candidates who last night were giving these answers, and it really was like what you'd expected a beauty pageant. It was, you know, like I just want world peace, but instead of that, it's I just want a green economy, Like this is this is un serious, Like this is the thing that I'm looking at it at least Yang not to like get on the Yang gang too much here, but at least Yang is like, this is what I
think we should do. You could do that thing, whether it's a good idea or not. As a whole separate conversation with the Democrats, for the most part of that stage, we're just saying was we're just gonna make everything I mean, mary Anne Williamson in a sense is actually the distillation of the modern Democratic Party because it's all feelings and emotions. Anyway, I love her, but that was the first time I've ever seen her speak, and after last night, I am
on the Maryanne Williams to the train. I absolutely love that insane woman. I hope she's in every single debate from now on. But here's the question, Buck, I don't want to bring everybody down on a Friday, but this Friday night, everyone's getting ready to get off work. But isn't that what we are now as an elector? In book? I mean, even on the left and the right, aren't we all slogans now? Or what's Donald Trump's slogan? And I love the Donald Trump's residency. I think he's been great.
I'm not ripping on the guy. But what's the slogan everyone does make America's great again? Are we really above the six our democracy as the slogan? Of course? For not? Do people want solutions? But I don't know how many people want to be told you're two fact, you should stop beating so much. Not many people want to hear that. That's that's Jesse. This is the This is the great
ideological separation between conservatism and the left these days. I mean, I don't like saying liberal really because they're not about liberty, and it's really a misnomer, and I think it's intentional, it's misdirection. But the great separation ideologically between left and right. All it really comes down to the left is just telling you that all of your bad choices or all of the things that are unfortunate your life, you have no control over it. It's not your fault. It's someone
else's fault. It's actually the right's fault usually, and the right says, look like, nothing is perfect, but we're going to try to set up some rules of the road here so that if you make good decisions you get rewarded for it. That's it. That's it. It's not more complicated than that. So you and I watched these debates differently. I mean, the truth of the matter is people who were probably googling the heck out of Pepa a gig in Kamala here has posted that debate. I mean, I thought,
no matter how rehearsed, it all came off. That's what they're looking for for the post part. You remember people passing out at Obama's rallies and saying he was more to pay their mortgage and put gas in their car. People believe this insane stuff, especially people who bump Democrats who had the it was Biden, the one you had the worst night last night? Oh yeah, Well, I because
I think Bernie. I think Bernie looked very Bernie was lucky that Warren wasn't there to be a direct comparison, because Bernie just just like an old man yelling about stuff all the time. It really he did not come across as the you know, they always wanted to be kind of the cuddly socialist that's gonna just give you Ben and Jerry's ice cream while he pays for your healthcare. That didn't. That didn't really translate. But Bernie's already done. So I guess I didn't consider him having a bad
night because I consider him already done. His one shot was last time the DNC screwed him and his supporters out of it, and they will never be back. Frankly, he doesn't even look like a man who believes he's going to be back. He looks like a guy who's putting out ideas that the other candidates will try to one socialist up him. Four. Biden unquestionably had the worst night because look, you don't have to kill God. If
you fight him, you just have to cut him. And Kamala Harris cut him and cut him deep last night. He's the guy who's had the luxury of having this hugely the entire primary mister untouchable. Everyone knows who he is. And he emerged wounded, not dead, but severely wounded. And you watch now, they're gonna swarm him. They all smell blood. They're gonna swarm him and rip him to pieces. Now, so you really, you're you're feeling at this point is
that it's either Kamala or Warren. I think that's obvious. I think it's easily Kamala or Warren. I would give but a jig an outside shot, just because I feel like the media is so ready to back him if he can make any noise. But other than that, I think it's a two woman race. And look, we'll see, we'll see what it turns out. Today we have one
thank Indian and one real one. We'll see. Yeah, I was thinking so interesting because you know, we all spend all this time thinking about that the polls and the and the way that they're affected or not affected by these debates. Uh, the general consensus from the people that just crunch the numbers is that debates really don't move
this stuff that that much. Usually it's not how it works. Oh, they only move it for politicos, but for it's the politicos who vote in primaries, and they certainly help people who were going for name idear. That's the thing. I mean, Like, my dad doesn't pay attention to politics, and before last night he didn't know who Kamala Harris was, just because you and I nern out on this stuff day in
and day out. These debates are all about the front runner not hurting himself, which he did, and the no neighbors getting a name, which only a couple of them did. Before we let you go, Jesse, what are Jesse Kelly's weekend summer freedom tips for people? What do they need to do this weekend to make sure they get the most out of their days off the pool? Everybody needs to go to the pool. I didn't know why everyone has all these kids out there go to the gym
and diet and all that other stuff. That's what suckers do. If you can't tone it, tann it, just get down to the pool for an hour, get a little tan. Everybody looks better when they're tan. Jesse Kelly, everybody, Jesse Kelly, thank you so much for joining us here on the Bucks Section show. Jesse Kelly, KPRC Houston. We'll be right back. Well, the president of himself, she couldn't demn it, admit that it happened, which I think sixteen of intelligence agents have
already agreed to say. And there's no doubt that the Russians did interfere in the election. And I think the interference, although not yet quantified, if fully investigated, would show that Trump didn't actually win the election in twenty sixteen. He lost the election and he was put in the office because a Russians interfere on his behalf. So do you believe President Trump is an illegitimate president? Face on what
I just said was, I can't retract. I think that it's it's one thing for us, you know, it's easy to just pick on Jimmy Carter's he was an ineffective, weak president. Now he's an old man and say, oh, he's just Jimmy Carter mouthing off. But the truth is there you have a former president of United States who's publicly saying the current president United States is illegitimate, which is ineffect that he's not really the president. That's a dangerous thing to be sharing. That's a dangerous thing to
be saying. And I when I say dangerous, I'm not talking about physically dangerous, but although theoretically that could be,
that could be a problem too. But I just mean, if we're going to have, on the one hand, all these sanctimonious libs lecturing us about the need to defend our democracy and all this other stuff, and we're gonna have them talking about how we're going to restore democratic norms, and I wish that they would stop saying things that are demonstrably provably false that the president was doing this, or that the Russians did this at the direction of
the president. And you know, he's today, he's out at the he's at the G twenty summit, and he had a meeting with Putin and report. It's just there's such babies about this stuff. They always take the base, They cannot help themselves. They always just decide, oh, you know, it's President Trump. And he said Putin and Putin and you know, they completely freak out, and they understand that Trump knows they're gonna freak out. Trump knows this is
going to happen. He understands that this is the reality of the press cord that he's working with. So he says things that any normal person would be like, all right, he's just kind of messing with them, you know, He's just he's trying to have a little bit of of a go with them, and they can't help themselves. They're, oh my gosh, he's doing Putin's bidding again. They get so upset about it. Calm down, press, really, enough is enough? Well, uh,
here's Trump telling Putin, don't meddle in the now. You can't hear it all that well, but he says, don't meddle the election. Play play seventeen. You kinda don't. Don't meddle an election. I mean, he's like this, but see, you know, he's doing it one to poke at the press a little bit. But also they act like him telling Putin not to meddle. You know, they'll complain to me, you're never even told not to meddle in our elections.
He can tell them at all day. Putin's gonna go home to the country where he is the sovereign, where he's running the show, and he's gonna do what he's gonna do. You know, having our president tell him, don't meddle in our election. Yeah, well guess what. They can have somebody do some cyber stuff and have plausible deniability and say that, oh, it's a rogue allument or whatever, and then yeah, we have the ability to do something
about this or not. Remember, folks, the meddling was so severe, was so intense, was so pervasive that Obama was like, yeah, whatever, no big deal, Hilvery's gonna win anyway. That is the reality. That is what happened. Obama was getting briefed on this. The FBI knew about this, They were all spun up about it. And then when they brought it to Obombing, He's like, yoh, you know, it's not a big deal, because it's not a big deal. But then Trump won
and then it became a big deal. But here's the you know, this is from the from the g twenty summit in Osaka. You had the New York Times in full freak out mode. Trump and Putin shared joke about election meddling, sparking new furer. Oh my gosh, Trump and Putin are joking about election meddling. They were having a
good time, like old friends reuniting. They warmly shook hands, smiled, and chatted amiably, and then President Trump brushed off Russia's interference in American democracy with a joke as President Vladimir Putin chuckled. First encounter between mister Trump and mister Putin since the Special Counsel Robert S. Muller the Third reported that Russia conducted a sweeping and systematic operation to sway
the twenty sixteen election, proved more convivial than confrontational. Rather than challenge mister Putin, mister Trump treated it as a laughing matter. What do they want him to do? Folks? What is there are sanctions on Russia? You know, we've they've put in place all these economic penalties. What is he supposed to do? What is acceptable to you know, to punch Putin in the nose, to curse at the
leader of the Russian premiere. You know, if he did that, then they'd say that he's threatening nuclear war and he's a wild man, and he's out of control and all this. They just want to criticize the president. It doesn't matter what he does. Trump says, Look, I got a good relationship with the guy. Play sixteen. There have many things to discuss, including trade and including some disarmament to some little protectionism, perhaps to a very positive way. And you
we're going to suscuss a lot of different things. We've had great meeting here, has very very good relationship and we look forward to spending some very good time together. A lot of very positive things going to come out of the relationship. So Vladimir, thank you very much. Thank you. I don't know whom Vladimir, thank you very much. Guess what Obama said the Trent? You know that that he
would have more flexibility after his election. The press didn't have a complete conniption fit and freak out then, but they freak out now because Russia, Russia, Russia. They're never gonna let it go. Hey, Team Buck, it's time for roll call Friday. In the summer, everybody, it is warm outside here in n y C. Let me tell you, Mark ree sweaty did on the subway. There's there's really no sweat like the subway. So I'm sweating in the winter on the subway. Man, you look around people in
the subway platform. You're like, oh, are you gonna pass out? Because I might pass out. It was hot today. It's hot. Ye. I know. A lot of you're probably out by your pool, your nice big house, no neighbors around, blah blah blah, really nice, good for you. But here in New York City, stuck in the crush of folks all over all over this piece. It's very very very busy on the streets here in the NYC. All right, let's get into because you don't care because some of you are in New York.
A lot of you aren't. Most of you aren't um, Facebook dot com, slash buck sex. And there's a way to kick it off for the weekend, because producer Mark, everybody's working for the weekend. I don't know if you, I don't know if anyone gave you the memo. I have been given it. Everybody's working for the weekend. I do know the song. I know you're trying to make a young joke. Well it's not a if you're gonna call it out like a joke, dude, you know, come on, well I have to call you out for him. I
know the team. The team always likes when you and producer Mike make sure that I keep the dad jokes to a minimum. All right, Christie's up here, Christie Wrights. Happy birth Oh, happy birthday, Happy Friday, Buck, It's a happy birthday too. If you want, let me start by saying, please keep the beard. It looks great and has always look forward to your take on democratic debate Number two, Socialist bonanza. It's become increasingly clear the Left lives in
a fantasyland wherein only the government can save us. Troubles me the most is the value they place on victimhood. They have no time, no nor respect for people who value self reliance and personal responsibility, two major factors that converted me to conservatism. I currently work in the bureaucracy. I see firsthand how bloated and inefficient and deeply unfair it is relying so heavily on the government to solve one's problems. It's not only dumb, but frankly a dangerous idea.
But how do you lure people away from the appealing notion that nothing is their fault They could always blame someone else. It is sad and frustrating, but my shield remains high have a great weekend, Christy proud member of the OSS or the original Saturday Squad. So we probably probably don't even know this. I used to do a show on Saturdays for three hours, twelve to three Eastern on the Blaze Radio network. That was how I got
my start in radio. And I worked Monday through Friday plus Saturday radio or about eighteen months, and did not, in fact get paid to do that radio show at all. About eighteen months I was doing a radio show for free. Oh yeah, that's how much I like radio. Check that out. It was not exactly great for my personal life. But are these are the choices we all make? Okay, Harry, Sorry high Bucks still catching up on the podcast this
time due to using my Medicare benefits. I have no idea what my open heart surgery will end up costing me, but the government and supplemental insurance will cover what otherwise probably bankrupt me. I have, of course paid to Medicare during my entire working life, and as a previous role caller stated, am still paying monthly premium payments. It is not free. Like any insurance, you really hope to never
have to actually file a claim. My wife is still covered under the Obamacare fiasco, and without the subsidy we qualify for, the monthly premiums are four or five times more than what I calculate we would pay for private otherwise. My guess is that I, perhaps most of the cardiac patients on the hospital recovery floor would not have been
there at all under single payer. Left to our chances, under rationing, triage, prioritization, or whatever euphemism the socialists would come up with, who would be throwing whom over the cliff A. By the way, the care I received was world class, as opposed to reports of abysmal care at a local computing hospital. But I will probably ever be able to the general public otherwise or from the government, especially under nationalized healthcare. Keep up the good fight. Thanks
for all you do for the conservative perspective. She'll tie Harry, Well, Harry, thank you for the in depth look at what it's like to actually use Medicare. Look. I have private health insurance, and I tell you that I try to not go to the doctor, and I rely increasingly on friends of mine who have mds to advise me around going officially
to the doctor whenever possible. You know, that this is what ends up you create these informal networks because if you just show up, go through the test they want to put you through, submit to your insurance. I mean, I can't even tell you I went. You know, I went to have like my my ear looked at recently for something, and I got a bill for like five hundred bucks. Like what am I doing this for? It's
just crazy because my insurance doesn't you know. Anyway, I'm not gonna sit here and bore you with my insurance stories, but it's the same thing. For this is why when when Kamala, when she wasn't trying to curb stomp good old Joe Biden. You know, when Kamala talking about five thousand dollars deductibles, she's really talking about Obamacare. That's what
Obamacare is a five thousand dollars deductable. So I don't know, I think that's something that at least I think some of them go up to six or seven thousand, which when you start to think about it, if you put aside as a healthy young person, if you started putting aside whatever your Obamacare premium is, which is going to be I think probably a few hundred dollars a month, and you put that aside into a very basic interest bearing account and then just save that up into you know,
and then into your thirties and into your forties. You have so much more money and all you need is catastrophic insurance. But this all requires people making choices, preparing for the future and saving and things that folks just don't want to do. Everyone wants to Everyone wants the government to hold them, hold them close, nuzzle them, keep them safe and warm. Yeah, Sheldon, sorry, I needed some iced coffee there. Some people tell me, you know that,
you know that they needaly. I just found us out in Italy. You're not a supposed to a drink a coffee with a milk after ten o'clock in the morning. You know this, Mark? Did you know that? You're all you have a cup of china first thing in the morning, the way you is like a breakfast, but you'll know, a drink of the coffee after ten am. I don't drink the coffee at all. You don't drink the coffee at all? What's up with that? More of a nice tea kind of guy. You're an iced tea guy. Yeah,
I don't like the taste. You know, I never you know, people always ask me, because I have Celiac disease, to say, do you miss beer? I'm like, no, you know what I'm I know, I know this is so anti American. It's it's like I'm saying I'm a communist. But I've never really liked the taste of beer. I've never really enjoyed it. You know, it's an acquired taste. I didn't like it at first, so I like it. I never I never really got into it, and I am man. In college, I drink a little too much beer. I
got a beer belly. Sheldon writes, Hey, buck sorry I'm late on this comment, saying that I love the team, but I'm very happy to keep their input to row call. Limit the calls please. Oh and your wonderful show keeps me warm and safe at night, Sheldon. Thank you, Sheldon. Your wonderful note keeps me warm and safe at night, and I appreciate it. Oh, Jeremy a man, Jeremy writes in Bucket, hurts my heart and soul to write this, but I have to give the ever so slightest hat
tip to CNN. They have an article on their website fact checking the DNC debate last and they appear to be actually calling balls and strikes. Some of the fact checks are questionable, but at least they're making an attempt to not be straight up left wing Hills Shields, h Jeremy, Jeremy. Look, if CNN is doing that, I haven't seen this article. I find it hard but not impossible to believe. If CNN is doing that, well, then maybe CNN deserves a little pat on the back before I give it a
big kick in the butt. Here's what I will tell you, though, don't confuse their newfound willingness to criticize with a real objectivity. You have to remember that we're in the primary now, and the different journalistic outlets and different journalists on a person to person level have their own people that they want, They have their own candidates that they are interested in, and so when they're gonna call people out right now, I mean what you saw last night with Kamala, the
media gets all excited. The media really wants it to be Kamala, but the polls are with Biden, so you know, they're hoping that they can push Kamala into that establishment lane and she becomes the Democratic party's choice, and she's a minority female, and you know that all these things happen the Democrats really want to happen. But they're not criticizing or turning their backs on Biden out of fairness. They're turning their backs on Biden because they love Kamala Moore.
You see, it's a different thing. It's not, oh, we're going to criticize Democrats now because we are truly willing to be open to whatever in this process. They're criticizing Democrats now because there are some Democrats that they like more. So that's a different That's a different thing that I believe we all need to be aware of. Let's see Kathy buck Love the show, Cathy, the Show Loves You. On the subject of free college, a lot of kids go to college on their parents' dime. This doesn't inspire
them to attender even graduate. Our government's going to pick up the tuition tab. Where's their incentive to graduate coming from? I think if this insanity comes to fruition unlikely. I know the child should be on the hook for the entire bill plus the interest, and be forced to make restitution if they drop out or don't maintain good grades.
Is it possible to scare responsibility into a generation that can't put down the darned controller, the video game controller, walk up from their parents' basement steps, walk out into the sun and apply themselves your thoughts. Well, Cathy, you know it's you're talking about such a large group of people with so many different stories, and you know the look, there are a lot of folks who are I think, very clearly doing the right thing and paying off their loans.
And you know, there are a lot of people that took loans out it was the right move for them. I mean, this is it's a personal decision. It's but here's what it really needs. We need to understand that the higher education at the college level is a is a luxury and is a commodity that not everyone should or not everyone should go to college for four years.
This is not something that everyone needs to do. And if you go, you've got to think of it like, well, you know, I would love to own an apartment, right I'd love to own a home. I don't own a home in New York City because they're very, very expensive and I think the market is very high right now. And if I were to save up and buy a home in New York City, I might lose my equity very quickly in a market downturn. So I'm making a choice. Right.
If I decided to buy a starter home somewhere in the New York in the Tri state area, and I put down, you know, twenty percent of whatever that house would be, and then the market corrected, I would not expect the government to repay me for that lost equity because I'm making a decision. And you know, individual responsibility is something that we can't if we're going to have an orderly and prosperous and really just an amazingly successful society, which buy and large is what we have in America.
We have to continue with a culture of individual responsibility as much as possible. But that's not sexy in a political way. That doesn't get people excited. All right, we got more role call in just a moment. Stay right there, it's time for roll call. It's time for roll call. But producer, Mike, you go into the beach this weekend. What do you got tell me some things? No beach
this weekend. My Irish skin can't take it. Me too, man, I'm one of these people that goes to the beach and then I just sit there and just put the block all over, you know, spray that block everywhere, and then I want to be in the shade. Yeah, but I want to view of the ocean. I want to be close to the ocean, but I want to be in the shade because my skin gets I get crispy like bacon. Yeah I do. I'm the same way. But
um I do. Am going in August, which is probably gonna be hotter than now, which is probably a bad move. But um, I just got back from San Diego where I was spoiled that Sandigo's nice as Yeah, it's beautiful. Lah, yeah, tell living it up, you know. Yeah, Bruce and Mike, we we always appreciate hearing your stories of life in the fast line. Yeah. So, uh, we have a few more roll calls. We'll get to here, David, right, Hey, Buck, just try to watch when they see us about the
Central Park five. I only made it through the first thirty minutes straight propaganda trying to make the police look bad and the black community look like it was victimized. But in a current context, nineteen eighty nine NYC was very different than twenty nineteen NYC. I'm torn because I enjoy much of Netflix content, but these propaganda pieces are extremely destructive to our society as a whole. Look at the Jesse Smallette situation, obviously constructed to try to make
Trump supporters look like demons. It's really sad to see that's the current state of our society. Take care and keep up the good fight. Well, you know, David, I've been saying this. I mean New York. New York was a city that really felt like from a from the perspective of just dealing with crime, it was a city under siege. It was it was out of control. You people were walking around with a constant sense of anxiety on the streets because bad things would just happen. And
it turned around. It it feels like a miracle here. But it turned around because there was a change in policing, and it's really a change in the political will to just say, if you do bad things, we don't care who you are, what you look like, where you come from. If you do bad things, you break the law, You're going to be punished. You cannot you cannot have an orderly and safe society where people are being told that well, if they do bad stuff, it's not their fault, that
someone else's fault. And that was the general, you know, lib mentality for a long time that it was there was some root cause, it was never the fault that the people that were doing the bad stuff. And then you get into broken windows theory and all this other stuff that comes along with that too. But yeah, no, it's uh when they see us is straight up propaganda.
You know when we had Anne on yesterday and she was talking about how there was one kid who had a fake ID and was questioned at sixteen even though he was fifteen, but they saw his fake He had chalked his ID to make him seem older, and you know that the cops were questioning him and the mom comes in and they make it seem like, you know, this is somebody who clearly, you know, you had a fake ID. They didn't make the fake ID that and they make it seem like it was some trick that
the district attorney was pulling. Keep on the disc attorney wasn't even there the night of the questioning. Oh. Another thing that you would like to it that I wish was in the movie was the blacked at detective who picked up one of the one of the Central Park five.
Williamson I believe was the name of the suspect, and then the person who was convicted on one of the Central Park five and or Richardson, not Williamson, Richardson, and what he said what he said would have been I think a particularly interesting part of it, which was that he admitted to grabbing a woman and no one knew that this kid had even been involved with anything like that.
That's quite a coincidence for the people that want to explain this away, that's quite a coincidence that somebody would admit to being a part of a rape when the detective at that time in that car, the call had not gone out over the radio. He did not know there had been a rape in the park, but that kid knew. It seems strange to me, doesn't it right. It seems like a weird thing for him to say, unless he But people want to believe what they want
to believe. There's still some people that believe is crazy theories about how OJ is not guilty. I meanless people are not very bright, but there are people out there who believe that. So that's a crazy world we live in. Mike, great show. Thanks for filling the filling the void. You're the only one I enjoy listening to now, aside from the British guy that fills in for Rush. I think he's actually Canadian. Thank you. I enjoyed black Rifle coffee
every morning. Shield Taie, isn't Mark Stein from Canada? Yes, yeah, but he's he's got. I can't even do his accent. He's fine, I've got. I can't do it at all. His accent is funky. He's lived all over the world, so I think his like people who have, you know, lived all over the world. It's sort of like accents. It's foreign Anko man helways, your favorite foreign anchor man or whatever. Yeah, that's pretty good. Apt I don't buy
time in Australia's good like that. I got skills, all right, everybody have a fantastic weekend, Shield Tai
