You know, one gets a stupid poll, let's get free healthcare. And then they all follow him off the cliff. This was a bigger disaster than night one. I'm here to give it to you in about 20 minutes or less, what you may have missed and give you the lowlights of it because there were no highlights.

Again, I could give you a bunch of winners and losers, but the reality is they were all losers. There were no winning moments last night from the Republican perspective. Now, having said that, let me give you the biggest disasters of the night. Disaster number one. Bernie Sanders has asked a very simple question, a question that has never resonated positively in the history of American politics. He's asked a very simple question about, will your health care plan raise middle class America's taxes? Now, Joe, the question about,

do you want to raise taxes on the rich? I don't buy it. But let's be honest, a lot of liberal Democrats and Democrats are like, well, that's not us. Screw the rich people. Let's raise their taxes. That's not my line, but that's there. The question about, right, I know it's not us. Screw the rich people. Let's raise their taxes. That's their, not my line, but that's their. Not mine either, no. The question about, right, I know it's not yours either because you actually understand basic economics. That's why. So does Paula. Yeah.

But the idea, I think we can both agree, Joe, you become kind of a political analyst after 30 years in political talk radio. Yeah, kind of. Have you, and I'm asking, I mean this seriously. I'm not trying to put you on the spot.

It's not a joke. When you were doing talk radio in the mornings at WCBM for, gosh, seriously, I'm not trying to put you on the spot. It's not a joke. When you were doing talk radio in the mornings at WCBM for, gosh, decades, do you ever remember a politician, Democrat or Republican, serious question, who came in and said, I want to raise middle class, working class people's taxes too. Do you ever remember that? I don't. It might have been one issue in 20 years where somebody said they were going to raise a little

bit of taxes. But other than that, it's a very very very unpopular thing to do right so we can both agree that in your 20 year plus sample size it is only idiots go on the air and say that kind of stuff well bernie sanders we're talking about idiots so here's bernie sanders last night asked about he always he never fails to disappoint. Here's Bernie. Check this out. Will you raise taxes for the middle class in a Sanders administration? People who have health care on the Medicare for all will have no premiums, no deductibles, no copayments, no out of out of pocket expenses. Yes, they will pay more in taxes, but less in health care for what they get people will pay more in taxes this is ladies and gentlemen this is this goes to show you a couple things there's

a couple takeaways i got you know again anybody can rant on this all day but there are legitimate takeaways from this takeaway number one is bernie's the most dangerous candidate in this race i don't mean physically dangerous i mean dangerous in the fact that he is an actual believer, Joe. No focus group of working class Americans that's supposed to give you a decent picture of how the country feels. Remember, it's a national race for the presidency,

for the liberals that don't know this. It's not a local race, right? No focus group of rational people will tell you raising middle class taxes is a winner folks you may say well why is bernie saying it then because for as much as i think this guy is nuts on his policy i mean nuts like unstable on his policies all right folks he's not he's a believer in these policies he's still a hypocrite he's a limous liberal. I tweeted out a picture yesterday of him sitting up in first class. First class?

Why would you fly first class? You're a socialist, right? Everybody gets the same thing. Right? The foie gras. He's a foie gras eater. That's what he is. Everybody loves that.

I get a lot of emails about that. Bernie's still a hypocrite, but he's a hypocrite who's a believer in his actual policies. I do not believe that. Well, maybe with de Blasio too. But the other candidates on the stage, I believe are just liars. I don't believe they really believe higher taxes work. Any of it.

They just want power. Okay, I just want to be clear. Bernie's a believer. That's takeaway number one. Takeaway number two, he really doesn't care about the ramifications down the line. He has now stood up twice,

and I'll get to this later. One, for canceling your free market health care plan you have now that your union or whatever your employer gave you that you like. And secondly, he wants to raise your taxes. I will be stunned. I'm out of the predictions game, but I have to tell you that I will be genuinely astonished if he wins the nomination. I cannot believe more than, say, 30%, 40% of the Democrat Party, and that's even being generous, buys any of this stuff he's saying. By the way, he also leaves out the rest.

He's like, you will get health care. There will be no deductibles and premiums. Folks, that's because your health care is going to be rationed, okay? There is no money fairy and there's no health care fairy. If I could get one economics 101 point home to my audience that you can take, and I got a call from my brother the other day. He wanted to make a point to some lady in his job who was throwing some socialist nonsense at him. So I get a lot of questions.

How do I argue this? How do I argue that? Call Dan. Folks, I can tell you. I do. I get it all the time. i argue that called folks i can tell you i do i get it all the time if i could give you one nugget one takeaway to argue and debate with your liberal friends about anything that involves economics health care economics whatever it may be the price of college education it is this all resources in

society are scarce all of them water clean water food water, food. Everything's scarce. Everything. A doctor's time. Scarce doesn't mean non-existent. It means it's not unlimited. It's scarce. Those resources have to be allocated. That's the fundamental component of economics, right?

How do people make decisions to allocate scarce resources? How do people make decisions to allocate scarce resources? Food, water, a doctor's time, computers, iPhones, supplements, whatever it may be, it doesn't matter. How do we allocate those scarce resources? Ladies and gentlemen, there are only two ways and only two. There is no third way. Those ways are to price those resources, ie capitalism and free markets or to ration them i.e socialism government control of the means of production there is no other way i say that

because if you want to know at the at a high level not at the granular level at a high ideological level how to argue with your leftist friends about government health care ask them about the third what third way are you suggesting? If you're suggesting health care via government paying for it through your tax money, you're suggesting a rationing system because the pricing system's irrelevant. A pricing system only works when you have a buyer and a seller that agree on the price.

When a government gets in the middle and destroys the pricing mechanism by setting it, you inevitably roll into rationing like you have overseas right now in Europe and elsewhere in single payer systems. It's as simple as that. You can ration it or price it. Bernie does not want to acknowledge it. You will pay lower premiums. Yeah, because the pricing mechanism you're suggesting throwing it out the window, which means you have to ration it. Delaney said it yesterday, John Delaney, former Republican congressman from Maryland, who I ran against when he said he had asked all these hospitals in a survey he went to, hey, if you get government prices for your health care, what's going to happen? He's like, we're going to go out of business. Well,

why? Because the government prices aren't enough to cover their costs. So they're going to go out of business, which means your health care will be rationed because there won't be enough beds in hospitals to support your health care needs. Folks, I don't mean to spend a lot of time on. I actually spent about eight minutes more than I planned on. But this is critical because other people on the stage believe this, too, that government intervening in the price mechanism and basically destroying it is going to somehow not lead to rationing. Like there's a third way.

There is no third way. There is no money fairy. There is no health care fairy. You can price it or you can ration it. It is as simple as that. The world is full of difficult choices. Everybody needs to put their big boy pants on and accept that. Well, the pricing match is going to price people out.

Folks, that's not the way any of this works any of this some of the poorest people in america have assets some of the richest people in some third world countries don't have that's because we have a price system that has enabled people even at the lower end of the income scale to buy cellular phones to buy computers to have televisions i'm not suggesting they're they're you know they're living the high life i'm simply suggesting to you that suggesting a pricing system is going to price people out of a market defies hundreds of years of free market action not thought it's ridiculous okay moving on so the worst moment of the night and again

trying to view this from a democratic lens which is tough because you do you have to dump like 10 20 30 iq points to do this because the debate was so ridiculous free stuff the money fairy uh i don't think there's any question that of all the losers ranking the losers of the night um joe biden former vice president just oh man you saw i mean he just got he looked so overwhelmed on that stage i gotta tell you i almost nah i didn't really feel bad for him i'm sorry i i'd be like i i for a second i was like oh i was like cringeworthy moments kamala harris the democrat senator from california decided yesterday to go there and And when I say go there, I mean, use the identity politics bludgeon. Folks, I'm using this cut because a common thread on my show,

which Joe and I have repeatedly covered over and over, is that the problem with identity politics, basing your policy prescriptions and your political ideology around race gender country of origin religion and attacks on that and other basically the you're a racist approach you know you don't have anything on the policy front to argue with a conservative about so what do liberals always do well you guys are racist every you're a racist hat tipped off tom margott rest his soul that's all they have now the problem with the identity politics approach, as again, I've discussed here repeatedly, is by its nature, it's inherently cannibalistic.

It will eventually eat its own. Why is that? For a couple of reasons. When I play this clip, you'll see exactly what I mean. Number one, it's worked for them in the past folks listen it's an awful horrible morally and ethically unforgivable thing to do to accuse someone of racism xenophobia misogyny based on nothing more than the fact that you want to win a political debate and that the person you're accusing of that is not guilty of that at all. I mean, think about that.

Is there anything worse to call someone, maybe a pedophile, but gosh, to call someone a racist in America today is life changing. It's over. You could lose your job, your career. I'm talking about people who are not. I mean, listen, sometimes you get people who are idiots and you got to call them out. That's the way it works and you deserve it. But that's not what the left does 99.9 of the people the liberals do this to are not in fact don't have a racist bone in their body but i've warned you so number one it works it has worked for them in the past

and the temptation when you seek power for people like kamala harris the temptation to want to use it joe is overwhelming yeah are you right she knows i mean this is the thing in maryland has a as it's where it's run by democrats i worked in the political system up there in maryland when when i was up there with joe this charges of racism are thrown around in maryland all the time it's it's almost like it's it's it's their it's their go-to right because it works but secondly the problem with this is that the problem is it works. That is the problem. But the second problem is it's inherently cannibalistic because in your effort to seek

out new victims of the patriarchy, the male white patriarchy, the very essence of liberal identity politics charges that you are a victim of the male white patriarchy. That's what they go back to every time. This critical theory junk, right? It requires you to constantly seek out new victims. And sometimes those victims' interests are not aligned. And I use the example all the time of the school system in New York

where a socialist mayor, Bill de Blasio, the worst mayor in the history of New York City, he has these schools up there, Bronx Science and others. They're elite schools. And there's a test to get in. It is an unbiased test of your aptitude and achievement, right? That's the test.

Take it, pass it, get in. Simple as that. But what happened, Joe? A lot of minority Asian students get into these schools. I don't know. They study hard. I have no idea. I don't know why.

I haven't asked them. I haven't know. They study hard. I have no idea. I don't know why. I haven't asked them. I haven't interviewed them. Not many black students in comparison, excuse me, in contrast to the numbers that the Asian students that get in, percentages get in. It's a test. So what happened? de Blasio said, well, we're going to throw the test out and we're going to basically instill a quota system again the interest groups of people the liberals want to paint as victims the interest groups interests do not align the asian parents were like wait i took a fair test for my child and my child took the test got in what's the problem they are there's they're going after the administration now it is inherently

cannibalistic because as you search out new victims groups, you're assuming all of their interests align. Let me give you one more quick example. The black community in inner cities, their interests do not align with groups that support illegal immigration. And they're starting to get a lot of these groups that support black inner city economic development are saying, wait, how does this benefit us to flood our cities with illegal labor undercutting our wages?

Ah. The answer is it doesn't. Yeah. Of course it doesn't. Folks, they will eat each other alive, liberals, by pushing this agenda. Now, proving my point, Kamala Harris knows charges of racism are an effective weapon, but notice what she does here in this cut. She does what I call the G.I. Jane approach. People who don't want to make statements don't make statements about not making statements. That's a line from that movie G.I. Jane

when she walks in there. She goes, I don't want to make a statement. Well, then don't make a statement. She says at the beginning of this, I don't want to say, Joe, you're a racist, but basically you're a racist. Here's. She says at the beginning of this, I don't want to say, Joe, you're a racist, but basically you're a racist. Here's the cut.

On the issue of race, I couldn't agree more that this is an issue that is still not being talked about truthfully and honestly. I there is not a black man I know, be he a relative, a friend or a co-worker who has not been the subject of some form of profiling or discrimination. Growing up, my sister and I had to deal with the neighbor who told us her parents couldn't play with us because we were black. And I will say also that in this campaign, we've also heard, and I'm going to now direct this advice, President Biden. I do not believe you are a racist. And I agree with you when you commit yourself to the importance of finding common ground.

But I also believe and it's personal and I was actually very it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country. And it was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing. And, you know, there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools. And she was bused to school every day and that little girl was me that one's gonna sting joe joe's like now very very clever and i mean that in a devious way not in some laudatory way okay a very clever by kamala harris again she takes the gi jane approach when you watch the movie you'll remember that line people who don't want to make statements don't make statements about not making statements if you think joe biden is not a racist why then are you lobbying charges of racism at him later it is clear what she's

insinuating that joe biden's comments about working in the senate with segregationists over this busing policy it is clear she's calling him out for racist charges now as i said let's go back to the two rules of identity politics the the two, not golden rules, but the two rules of coal, like coal you'd get at Christmas, because it's an awful thing. These rules are terrible. Number one, it works or has worked in the past for them. Kamala Harris wants power. Joe Biden is in her way. He's leading in the polls.

power. Joe Biden is in her way. He's leading in the polls. They can't knock him on his record because he worked with Obama, which was the most liberal president in American history. The liberal base votes, follow me here, folks, so they know they're not going to be able to attack him on policy.

So what do they see? They say, well, Joe, when in doubt, we got to go back to racism. Where's that race card? Where is it? Every single time, buddy. Every time. I got it.

Every time. There you go. Every single time they go back to it, which segues inconveniently into what I told you in the second, the second coal rule of identity politics, because this is what you're going to get coal in your stocking. Every time you use it, eventually it will turn back on you because it is inherently cannibalistic.

You will have to eventually search out new victim classes whose interests do not align. I warned you now showing you how damaging this is, in case you think I'm being hyperbolic or overestimating the effect of how awful these attacks were for Biden, they were, believe me. Are they going to knock them out of the front runner's post? I'm not sure the Democrat primary is so screwy now. Who knows? I mean, I thought Elizabeth Warren was done after the Charlemagne interview where he compared it to Rachel Dolezal. And that didn't turn out to happen. But here is CNN.

This cut's a little choppy, but we can hear it. This is CNN. Who is it? Nia Malika Henderson and Van Jones talking about how Biden, who was Barack Obama's vice president, the most liberal president in American history, isn't woke enough. Woke, by the way, meaning like, you know, aware of the social justice warrior crowds, lingo and everything. This is really damaging stuff. I think one of those problems that Joe Biden has is he already thinks he's woke on these issues around race and around gender.

If you think about somebody like Pete, you can sort of see the evolution in terms of wokeness and a lot of the younger white male politicians who have to have acquired this language around race and gender and income inequality. In other words, ladies and gentlemen, if you don't learn the language of the social justice warrior, right, the the-pronoun calling people they instead of he or she. If you don't, that's just one example of many. If you don't learn the language of the modern day snowflake social justice warrior,

you are finished. Folks, I can't tell you how damaging this is. And for those of you who didn't see the video, Van Jones is in the background there like gingerly sipping a cup of coffee going, you better preach. In other words, he knows it too. That in this increasingly snowflakey social justice warrior Democrat party, a guy like Joe Biden, an old white male,

even though he worked for Barack Obama as his vice president, it doesn't matter. He's still not woke enough. You will never be liberal enough. The movement, ladies and gentlemen, is a cannibalistic movement. Don't ever, ever forget it. Now, one more on Biden,

because this guy's the front runner. This is important. Again, to show you how damaging this was, Biden stammers through an answer. That's why I broke it up to the Kamala Harris charges of racism, even though she says he's not a racist, right? He stammers through an answer

and then about three quarters of the way through it, he still has time left. Biden actually cuts himself off in a debate. I've never seen this before because I think he realizes this is really awful and he just better is really awful and he just better take his toys and go home at this point. Here's his answer. 30 seconds because I want to bring other people into this. I supported the ERA from the very beginning. I'm the guy that

extended the Voting Rights Act for 25 years. We got to the place where we got 98 out of 98 votes in the United States Senate doing it. I've also argued very strongly that we, in fact, deal with the notion of denying people access to the ballot box. I agree that everybody wants to, in fact, anyway, my time's up. I'm sorry. Thank you, Vice President. Your sound effects after these...

What's that movie, right? All you got to say is, ooh, that's in a movie somewhere. I know I'll get a thousand emails. I forget. You know, my pop culture references are the worst in American history. That's all you got to say is, ooh. Oh, it's from Rocky. From Rocky.

When they spit in a bucket. That's something like, oh, you got to say, yeah. Oh, that is, who cuts themselves off? Ladies and gentlemen, again, run for office three times. I've been in probably well over 150 debates. Seriously, I've been in a lot. I mean, one campaign, we probably did 30 or 40 alone, you know, just in the first few months.

You never, ever give up the mic if you don't have to. You always try to get a few extra seconds, right, Joe? You've seen these things. You get a minute, you take a minute 10. You get a minute 30, you take a minute 45. You never cut yourself off. Folks, the takeaway from this, again, Biden is in a world of trouble.

Identity politics was absolutely gonna ruin the left. It is eating the party alive right now. A lot of sane, rational Democrats, there are a lot out there, are starting to realize the left. It is eating the party alive right now. A lot of sane, rational Democrats, there are a lot out there, are starting to realize it too. I saw a couple tweets last night, Democrats watching this debate. I'm assuming people are telling the truth because they're blue checkmark folks I trust, but people who are watching debates with Democrats are like, I can't believe this is my party. They're in a lot of trouble folks okay i got more coming up including bernie sanders wait just stay to you this one is just this is peak we've reached peak bernie which is

As if Bernie couldn't get any worse, and I told you the dangers of Bernie Sanders is Bernie's an actual believer. He is a believer that this stuff works. He was asked about his healthcare policy last night and his government

takeover of the healthcare system, his rationing system, and his canceling of Medicare and private health care. And he asked to double down. He said, well, you know, will this pay for basically what will it pay for? Will it pay for abortions and stuff, too? He delves off into this arena. This is just a lightning rod for Bernie Sanders. But ladies and gentlemen, he just doesn't care. More evidence.

Bernie Sanders is a believer. Play the cut. doesn't care. More evidence. Bernie Sanders is a believer. Play the cut. Medicare for all guarantees every woman in this country the right to have an abortion if she wants it. Thank you, Senator. Folks, now, not only are your taxes going to double to pay for Bernie Sanders pie in the sky, government controlled, rationed health care system but now if you happen to be a pro life advocate like me who supports life life in the womb life outside the womb uh you will now finance the destruction of life in the womb by money confiscated you by you under the threat of force by the way by a government bernie sanders wants Folks, again, evidence that Bernie Sanders is not even remotely interested in the mainstream of American politics.

Bernie Sanders is a far left radical who is an absolute believer. He is without question the most dangerous candidate on that stage. Like I said, de Blasio is a believer too, but he's just a buffoon. Did you see de Blasio, by the way? I don't know if you saw the story, Joe. This is how much of an idiot de de blasio is a believer too but he's just a buffoon did you see de blasio by the way i don't know if you saw the story joe this is how much of an idiot de blasio is i live in florida south florida where i live has a heavy cuban population people who i'm friends with by the way my neighbor is one of them i mean literally my neighbor and then a guy i deal with once a week a friend of mine who i'm not going to say who these people lived under socialist Cuban tyranny

they've directly experienced the horror oh they know all right the horrors of socialism this socialist idiot de Blasio goes and gives a speech in Miami and unbelievably quotes Che Guevara remember Che Guevara of La Pared the wall yeah the murderous Che Guevara. Remember Che Guevara of La Pared, the wall? Yeah, the murderous Che Guevara, the wall, who used to put Cubans up against the wall and they would kill them. The Miami population was like, did you just quote Che Guevara? He had to issue this extensive apology on Twitter. But again, goes to show you how these two, Sanders and de Blasio, are morons.

They actually believe in this stuff. But de Blasio's got no chance because he's such a goof. He's got no shot. Okay, moving on. Again, this far left radical lurch. People were, last night, even a lot of moderate Democrats were just blown away by what has happened to the once great party of John F. Kennedy. It is now completely deteriorated into anti-religious,

anti-free market animus. Here is the, you know, the go-to guy of the day, a South Bend mayor, Pete Buttigieg, for some bizarre reason, trying to invoke an attack on Christians as a positive. This is bizarre. Play the cut. The Republican Party likes to cloak itself in the language of religion. Now, our party doesn't talk about that 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 okay nobody's saying that I don't know what you're talking about what I Joe did what the hell is he talking about you know I you follow the news like i do looking for cuts i don't recall i don't know who he's talking about suggesting that jesus christ or god uh would would would i don't i don't recall that quote i don't know who he's talking about um nobody's saying that we're not saying that children that have to be detained because they were separated from people brought them into the country and they're trafficking.

What are you, Mayor Pete, this guy is such a knucklehead, it's disappointing. What is your suggestion? This goes to show you this, you know, render unto Caesar what is Caesar, render unto God what is God's. That's always been the Christian worldview here. There are some government policies that are not good. They're just less bad. What is your suggestion to do with,

what do you want to do with kids who are transported illegally by no choice of the United States, by the choice of the migrant? You bring a child here illegally in violation of our law. You are not the child's parent. We don't know who you are. You could be a child trafficker. In many cases, they are. The child then has to be separated from

you because we're not going to leave you with a child trafficker. Does Buttigieg not get that? Is this guy that dumb? What would you like us to do? We have to put the children in some kind of facility. You want us to leave them on the street take care kids see you later and then as we try to get the kids supplies and toothbrushes and soap and donald trump asked for funding and we need beds what do people like buddha judge in the left do they protest that too and then he says and you cloak it in Christianity and religion. We're not cloaking anything. We're suggesting a sane, rational policy at the border is the humanitarian approach because illegality fosters child trafficking and housing circumstances nobody would be comfortable with

for children who we have no, what's your solution, dude? He doesn't have one. And he talks about religious folks like we're somehow hypocrites. How are we hypocrites? We've never changed. We believe in life because we believe in life. We believe every life is a creation of God, my Savior. You don't have to believe in that.

I believe in freedom of religion. Render unto Caesar applies to me too i don't i'm not forcing you to be a christian you don't have to be a christian to listen to the show it's my personal belief i do what i can to advocate for the principles of jesus christ and it matters to me but i don't believe my government should have to hammer you over the head with that and that's not in the bible either I don't know what this guy's talking about. The government are the ones punishing people for their beliefs, not Christians.

But again, Buttigieg's just, what he thinks he's getting out of that, I have absolutely no idea. Attacking the evangelical and Christian crowd is just candidly bizarre and is really, really stupid politics. All right. Yesterday, I told you a landm really stupid politics. All right. Yesterday, I told you a landmine was laid big time in debate number one,

asking the Democrat candidates on stage, will you cancel Americans' free market health care plans they have now? Unbelievably, knucklehead, well, de Blasio is a knucklehead. That's not unbelievable. But unbelievably, Elizabeth Warren yesterday raised her hand and said yes. The question came up again. I'm going to get to that in a second. Last sponsor of the day,

because I'm telling you, this is just going to blow up in spectacular fashion for the left. Finally, today's show brought to you by our buddies at U.S. Law Shield. Ladies and gentlemen, if you're a concealed carry permit holder and you carry a firearm,

now the landmine was set nbc dropped it and here are the here's the answer to last night's question. Let's talk about health care. And this is going to be a show of hands question. We asked a question about health care last night that spurred a lot of discussion. As you know, we're going to do it again now. Many people watching at home have health insurance of their employer. Who here would abolish their health insurance in favor of a government run plan? All right. Sorry about the hiccup. That's not on producer Joe.

That's on me. That's the one I sent over. I was rushing to get all these cuts over this morning to give you the best show out there. I can't I can't believe it. Who raised their hands? Of course, if you didn't see it, it was Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders. Now, again, Bernie's not surprising because Bernie's a believer. But Kamala Harris, she has flip-flop flipped on this.

Initially, she gave an interview right after she announced. Forgive me, I think it was on CNN. I'd play it, but I want to just sum it up quickly. And she was asked, do you want to cancel private insurance? She said, yes. And then a day later, she backtracked that. Now she's back again to wanting to cancel private insurance. Ladies and gentlemen, these ads

write themselves. Think about this. Hat tip to Tucker Carlson, who made this point last night on his show on Fox, which I'll be on tonight for my news explosion at the end before I fill in for Hannity. So make sure you watch both shows. Tucker Carlson said last night, think about this, Joe. Union workers in the United States are largely Democrat, largely. I mean, maybe, I don't know, 60 percent or so. You're seeing a lot transfer over onto the Trump train now. But having said

that, it's not unreasonable to say the majority of union workers in america probably vote democrat yeah how do you feel and i'm directing this to you if you are a worker in the ibew uh whatever local 25 in long island whatever it may be i only bring up the electrician or plumbers union somewhere your union yeah has lobbied for a specific health care benefits package that you like the satisfaction in unions with their health care benefits package that you like. The satisfaction in unions with their health care plans is typically pretty high. Data matters, folks, right? You've lobbied for these benefits for you, your kids, your family. You work for a living.

Listen, I always said I'm not anti-union. I'm just anti-monopolies. You should be free to join a union. I just think you should be forced to. Anybody that tells you I'm anti-union, it's absolute nonsense. You are lying. That is absolutely not true. I grew up in a union household.

My brother's a union worker now. He likes it. He'd probably join again tomorrow. Great, good for you. That's terrific. It's good to have someone lobbying for your interests. How do you feel if you're an IBEW worker, International Bureau of Electrical Workers,

Local 3 in New York City, right? And your union is lobbied for this terrific package of benefits. Finally, you're working, you're busting your butt every day. You're in work at six o'clock, whatever it may be in the morning. You're laying wire, you're cutting wire, you're bending cable, bending whatever it may be. And all of a sudden you find out that plan your union lobbied for is now canceled when Bernie Sanders is the president and Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren all raising their right is you want to cancel private.

I want to cancel it. De Blasio. I'm not kidding. I'm asking you a serious question. How does that make you feel? Oh, no. That these benefits you lobbied for have now thrown you into a pool with 330 million Americans, some of which who haven't lobbied for those benefits.

Now you're on a government rationed waiting line. Meanwhile, you had a great doctor. Your kids had good dental, eye coverage. You had good cancer care. God forbid you're sick or someone in your family has. All of that's canceled now. Folks, again, how is this an electoral winner in the general election? It's so dumb that the candidates on stage, who I think have a better strategic sense

of the long game rather than the short game. Did you notice there was only two of them who raised their hand? There were 10 candidates on stage. Biden didn't raise his hand. No one else. Who else was up there? You had Bennett, the senator from Colorado you even had that author

who gave that bizarre closing statement about like we're going to fix the world with love Marianne Williams, that was crazy by the way she put me on her email list somehow I had to spam that thing, I don't want to be on your email list total side note there but these other candidates on stage, get it this is a loser

a total loser. And I only highlight unions not to be because, you know, we're going to have a free market health care plan, too. I mean, I don't even know what we have anymore. But I don't want my plan canceled either. I single out unions because they donate to Democrats, largely. I'm just asking you to understand there's a ramification to your decision. That ramification is what you lobbied for

is going to be thrown in the garbage. Okay. This is unquestionably where I saved it for the end. This is the worst moment of the night. I was really floored when I saw this. I hope I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that, and I hope I'm not teasing it too much. The question was asked by the NBC moderators

about offering healthcare, free, taxpayer, U.S. taxpayer-funded, your money, healthcare, to people in the country illegally, meaning basically the entire globe now has a billions of people will now be able to state claim to healthcare in the United States.

Think about what they're saying because I don't want you to be in any way misled about what this question means because we do facts and data here, unlike the Democrats. If you are going to offer health care for illegal immigrants, people who have no legal right to be in the country, you have essentially obligated U.S. taxpayers

to pay for the health care of the entire globe as long as they can get into the United States legally or illegally. Please correct me, email me, if I have in any way analyzed that situation the wrong way. If your legal status in the country is entirely irrelevant, just get here and you will get our taxpayer funds to pay for your health care. How have you not staked a claim for the entire globe to get health care for free in the United States?

The question is asked, there are 10 people on the stage, will you give health care to illegal immigrants? Question is asked. There are 10 people on the stage. Will you give health care to illegal immigrants? I thought to myself, no way you're going to get more than two, three people raise their hand. I was absolutely wrong. Play the cut. Raise your hand if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants.

okay ladies and gentlemen i've note every single candidate on the stage raised their right hand every single one of them i this has got this has gone nuclear um at the by the way i have great show notes today on this at bonginocom. A bunch of really terrific articles about this kind of stuff. I know debate coverage. I'd really like you to check them out, including one. I hate to give links to Politico, but a Politico piece about John Roberts today. I mean, the show notes too. But please check out the show notes today at Bongino.com. Folks, they are getting filleted over this today.

I can't even tell you how bad this is going to be. So let's sum up how awful yesterday was. As Milton Friedman, one of my heroes, God rest his soul, has always said, you cannot have open borders and a welfare state because the entire world can stake a claim to U.S. taxpayer benefits. We now know that is the official stance of multiple candidates running for the presidency in the United States. official stance of multiple candidates running for the presidency in the United States.

Julian Castro advocated on night one to wipe clean our borders, to essentially decriminalize crossing the border illegally. It happened. You can check the tape yourself. Of course, he changed his prior position, as we stated on yesterday's show. But that doesn't matter. They're all flip-floppers anyway. So now we are back to arguing for open borders and a welfare state which is a mathematical impossibility and a national security nightmare that's your democrat party secondly we're back

to advocating for the cancellation of free market insurance your health care plan will get canceled a doubling of your tax dollars and a complete meltdown of the u.s health care economy i'm not suggesting private insurance has all the answers but i'm here to tell you all of your problems are being caused by government in the healthcare arena. No doubt. Big, big trouble ahead. Okay, I'm going to try to zip through a couple more stories. There was other news yesterday. You know, Trump is just the greatest troll in the history. He just is. He drives the left crazy and they keep taking the bait. So he's at the G20 and he's sitting down with Vladimir Putin from Russia, which, of course, you're going to get the question from the media. Are you going to tell Putin not to meddle in the election? So listen to this audio.

Check this out. Here's a legit question. A reporter. Are you going to tell Putin not to meddle the election watch the response i know the audio is tough for those of you who missed the video i'll just walk you through it they're sitting next to each other about three or four feet apart. And Trump, he just turns. He looks over.

He goes, hey, don't meddle. Don't meddle. In other words, you guys are such dopes. This is where the policy is going to be enforced at a little mini bilateral meeting where he's with Putin. This is where it's all going to happen. So you're going to tell him not to meddle? Yeah, don't meddle.

That's like classic Trump. Only Trump would do that. Anything he's done, by the way, including expanding Magnitsky, trying to defeat the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, taking out those Russian mercs over there on the battlefield, none of that stuff matters. The liberals think the press question at this little mini-bilat photo op, this is going to solve it all, Joe.

So he just trolls them, of course. You're going to tell Putin not to med gonna solve it all joe don't so he just trolls them of course you're gonna tell putin not to yeah yeah don't meddle i again i know the audio was a little tough but it's so many people talking but it's worth your time listen to it anyway okay uh let's see what else we got here you know what uh let's go to this story next it's important you know we've been talking about big tech tyranny and all these problems with the suppressing of kurt of conservative thought throughout these social media forums and these video companies, which is really driving a lot of conservatives crazy. But I think proving the point I'm making, folks, that we're not getting through to Google and Facebook and Twitter and others. We're not.

Unbelievably, Twitter, Jack Dorsey runs Twitter, announced yesterday on Twitter that they have a new policy. So just in case you think we're like making any progress against these social media companies, you're wrong. They just don't care. And I'll have some news on this hopefully next week. You know, I'll give you some more information. So tune in the next week shows. I got some some good stuff for you. Here's a story at the Daily Caller.

I saw this yesterday as I was leaving the gym. Twitter's new policy now. Twitter lays the groundwork for potentially downranking some of Trump's tweets by Chris White, their tech reporter. I have the article in the show notes. Please read it. It's short. It's sweet. But you need to know what they're going to do in the details of it. From the piece, actually pretty fascinating what they plan on doing. They plan on putting a type of warning label in front of verified political candidates and officials with more than 100,000 viewers, Twitter noted in a blog post. This is from the piece.

Users who want to view the flag content must click on a screen that says Twitter's rules against abusive behavior apply to this tweet. Algorithms will then begin deprioritizing labeled tweets, the company said. Folks, here's what's going to happen. Make no mistake. Again, we're not getting through to these companies at all, at all. They keep doubling down on stupid. What they're going to do is, if they think a tweet is abusive, which I promise you is going to apply overwhelmingly to conservatives, you are going to get this warning label, and you're going to have to click through the warning label to read the tweet.

Joe, is anybody going to do that? No, they're not going to do it, which basically renders the tweet censored and irrelevant. Folks, I promise you, this is a rule that is going to— a rule, I say rule because it's not really a rule. It's a policy to— what they're going to do is they're going to dump trump's tweets now again from a strategic perspective twitter is managing to alienate along with google and others unbelievably the population of libertarian conservatives like me

who have actually defended them i am losing my patience and so are even a lot of of libertarian conservatives like me who have actually defended them, I am losing my patience, and so are even a lot of my libertarian friends with these companies. I can't, out of principle, advocate for government regulation. I just can't because the government's even worse. But it is amazing how Twitter continues to poke the bear, insistent that there will be no long-term consequences. I've seen Parler making some waves. There have been other social media companies out there.

Folks, it's only a matter of time. I'm telling you, and smile a little bit when I tell you this. I am absolutely sure. Again, I'm out of the predictions. It's not a prediction because I'm so sure it's going to happen. That's kind of a prediction. But I'm positive. Paul is laughing.

It is only a matter of time. Only a matter of when, not if, before these companies' market share is entirely decimated by competitors who don't do this stuff the conservatives at Twitter and other social media companies are doing. It is only a matter of time, ladies and gentlemen, I promise you, before a competitor absolutely levels these companies. All right. This is important. Please don't go anywhere. Yesterday, the Supreme Court was, I didn't get a lot of time to cover it because it was breaking news in the middle of the show. If you missed yesterday's show, please watch it. I gave some commentary on them,

but we had a break in. It's kind of a live-to-tape show. But there were some rulings yesterday, and folks, here's the big takeaway at the Supreme Court. This is very, it gives me no pleasure in telling this. We have entirely lost John Roberts.

We do not. Stop saying we have a conservative majority on the court. It is entirely, completely, 100% inaccurate. John Roberts is the new Anthony Kennedy. He is a swing vote who leans left. He is not a conservative anymore. John Roberts, the chief justice appointed by George W. Bush, is clearly on the solid liberal side of the camp on issues that matter often. He has easily intimidated John Roberts.

He must read the Washington Post or New York Times opinion columns. They know this. They write columns before a prominent case is going to be heard. They know they'll scare him by threatening him and his reputation. And John Roberts caves. It is days like today where you should really be thankful for people like Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch because they're three rock stars. Thomas is the, Clarence Thomas has just been,

I don't know what we're going to do without him. He's a rock on every single case, a rock. Roberts is the worst. I saw a tweet by Matt Schlapp from the american conservative union we should impeach roberts i gotta tell you there's a part of me going that's not a bad idea he is awful awful what happened not only is he awful he's inconsistent now roberts you know saved obamacare john roberts voted for the obama administration to save Obamacare in the worst decision in the Supreme Court's modern Obama-Trump era history. The worst decision. No question about it.

But yesterday, he's not even ideologically consistent. Even Politico is starting to understand the damage this guy's—Politico, of all places, to the conservative movement. This is the article I have in the show notes by Josh Gerstein. Read it. I'm not a big fan of Politico, but it's worth your time. They actually mentioned me in the past. That's not why I put it up there, but it's a good piece. Title, Conservatives Blast Roberts as a Turncoat.

He is. They cite some of my tweets in the piece. He's terrified of the liberal op-ed pages. Now, the Wall Street Journal did an amazing analysis of how Roberts not only is he a turncoat, but he's not even ideologically consistent. He can't even get his own story straight. This is a little complicated, but it's definitely worth your time. Wall Street Journal piece. This is a good one. They point out how the piece is called The Contradictions of John Roberts by their

editorial board. I'm going to read it and then I'm going to explain it to you. Please don't go anywhere. This is important. Quote, it's hard to reconcile Chief Justice Roberts' opinion on the citizenship question, which is with his hour decision earlier this week. On one hand, he wants to defer to regulators on matters of legal interpretation that are per view of the courts. But on the other hand, he wants to micromanage the motives of agencies when there is no cause for judicial review. What happened?

What does that mean? I know that's a little complicated. The day prior, Roberts voted with the liberals on this AUER case, which basically says that they will defer to executive agencies to interpret their own rules. In other words, folks, very simply, bureaucrats under the executive branch, if there's a rule that's written, Joe, that's slightly, that's not clear and has some ability to wiggle in it, that we should defer to those executive agencies to manage that rule and basically enact it. You get what I'm saying? Does that make sense? In other words, the simplest way possible. Number one, here's Roberts earlier in the week.

Trust the bureaucrats, right? Let the executive agencies do their thing. That's Roberts earlier in the week. Yet when it came to the citizenship question on the census, where Roberts voted with the liberals again to strike down the citizenship question on the 2020 are you a citizen or not a reasonable question amazingly roberts writes the majority opinion with the liberals we've lost him and he says the exact opposite joe the exact opposite thing even the journal called him out they're moderates at best in the citizenship question he says don't trust the department of commerce and these

agencies in other words he says their legal reasoning for putting the citizenship question on was perfectly fine you've got to read his opinion he has no issue with the legality of it he just says uh but the way they have explained it is no good so we don't trust them brother what is it is it trust the bureaucrats like you said earlier in the week or is it don't trust the bureaucrats like you said yesterday ladies and gentlemen this guy is lost there is no conservative majority on the courts period he is a swing vote who leans left now trump to shade him by saying all right we'll delay the we'll delay this printing of the census census documents when I get you a reason, which was really a solid move. But Roberts is a lost cause. Please read the Politico piece.

It is absolutely worth your time. This guy is real trouble. Forget Roberts. It's over. This guy is no conservative and no originalist. He is unquestionably leaning left, if not liberal, on the cases that really matter. All right, folks, thanks again for tuning in. I had a few more stories, but we'll get to them.
