Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are in the ring tonight, and we're here to talk about it. Plus, a new segment called "Too Cute Maddie's Sick" and a special guest appearance from the Beast Reg!
00:04:29.000Reg told me before the show that he thought Bernie wouldn't have the balls to get dirty and go after Biden.
00:04:36.000I think he would, but I think tonight they're both going to kind of come together, and I think they're going to coalesce, and I think they're going to go after Donald Trump and Corona.
00:04:44.000Speaking of Corona, half-Asian Bill Richmond is here!
00:07:13.000Do you expect them to keep it polite and mainly go after Trump for coronavirus?
00:07:17.000I think they're going to try to at first, and I think it will only take... I think of the one who will break first, it's irascible Biden, who literally cannot help himself but snap at people.
00:07:28.000Which one's going to make a goof first?
00:07:35.000Over and under 15 minutes before the dam breaks, someone makes a hot remark, Biden talks about something we have no idea what he's talking about, that's what happens.
00:07:43.000Well, but we know what he's thinking about, and that's 12-year-old girls.
00:08:33.000Like, they could be cleaning up the sides of the roads with pokey sticks, or they could be tossing some Everclear into aloe vera and we're none the wiser.
00:08:41.000They might as well make hand sanitizer.
00:08:43.000So, did you find the, by the way, did you find the guys, and you can just punch in when you find, did you find the twin babysitters from the 90s film?
00:08:48.000You know what, I think I have them here.
00:11:52.000If they're going to play it dirty, Biden would probably want to hit that Bernie is a Russian plant, because they've been talking about this quite a bit, that he's been backed by Russia.
00:11:59.000Which should tell you, by the way, that Russia wasn't backing Donald Trump.
00:12:01.000They just want to disrupt the election.
00:12:03.000Keep in mind, back then, when you're looking at 2015 going into 2016, they just thought... The New York Times gave Hillary Clinton a 99% chance of winning.
00:12:10.000So they said, let's just bet on the losers so that we can keep them in the race a little bit longer and cause some disruption.
00:12:15.000They're doing the same thing with Bernie right now.
00:12:17.000It seems like there's going to be a coronation with Biden, and so the Russians, I mean, they've run, I don't know, you know, a couple dozen dollars in Facebook ads next to 31 Flavors.
00:12:25.000I don't know how consequential it is compared to the fact that Google can manipulate everything you see, hear, or do.
00:12:31.000Russian plant, the Bernie bros, you know, obviously Elizabeth Warren brought this out.
00:12:34.000I think this has hurted Bernie quite a bit.
00:12:36.000If you look at Michigan, the reason I think Biden won Michigan whereas Bernie won Michigan big compared to Hillary Clinton is because Elizabeth Warren came out and I think they thought that all of her people were going to go to Bernie.
00:12:45.000And then she said, but his followers are dicks!
00:13:14.000Biden's more of an old school, old blue dog Democrat, and I think Bernie's going to hit I think he's going to hit Biden as establishment because that worked for Donald Trump.
00:13:22.000But if Bernie wants to win, he needs to hit Hunter Biden, Burisma, the U.K., sorry, U.K., the Ukraine scandal.
00:13:33.000For me though, I think that the Blue Dog Democrats are really torn right now because remember back when Obama took office, he gave a big F you to the Blue Dog Democrats.
00:13:43.000Told them, I don't care what you're doing, we're going to do whatever we want to do, this is not the policy we're going to follow.
00:13:47.000And that's exactly the line that Biden did then, and now he's trying to get them back into the fold, but I think they're too smart for that.
00:13:54.000I think they look at this field and they go, there's no candidate here for us, and those folks may stay home.
00:14:09.000This, to me, is proof positive that we have the only healthcare system in the world that has any semblance of hope at helping here with coronavirus.
00:14:16.000I don't understand, like, hey, Italy, how about you figure it out?
00:14:40.000I'm pretty sure it's just... I have no idea.
00:14:42.000It's like in China, it's still always Mao.
00:14:47.000You know, so it's interesting to me, we are the only ones who can fix this.
00:14:52.000And by the way, I don't think we're going to fix this, I just think we're going to have to run the clock out a little bit.
00:14:56.000I don't think there could be any more proof positive that, hey, we're the only system, expect them to bring us up, we're the only industrialized world without a socialized healthcare system.
00:15:06.000We're also the only industrialized world that we create the vast majority of drugs and more people travel here, bar none, for medication and for experimental treatments and non-experimental treatments.
00:15:15.000If people are dying, if they need medicine, if they need health care, they come to the United States.
00:15:18.000That's what we're seeing right now with Corona.
00:18:11.000CDC had testing kits, but because of the way it works in the United States, they had to sort of tag it, almost think of it in a way to describe it, kind of like earmarks.
00:18:18.000They had to include SARS studies or immunities in there.
00:18:21.000So we did have tests available, but they weren't released.
00:18:24.000This is another example of bureaucratic government making it more difficult.
00:18:29.000Right, and now they're allowing privatized hospitals, other hospitals and private entities to help them get more testing kits out.
00:18:35.000They could have been out ahead of this, by the way, significantly more than they are.
00:18:39.000Also, nobody remembers, Donald Trump banned travel from China, I think, was it January 22nd?
00:20:27.000Reg, you can bring it up, lest people doubt me, that right now they're basically saying, hey, if you're over 65, you're being put to the back of the queue because... I mean... They gotta protect... Maybe your number's up!
00:20:37.000Maybe your num... Maybe your spicy number's up!
00:20:40.000Their doctors are very unprofessional.
00:20:46.000So we need unprecedented action right now to deal with the unprecedented crisis.
00:20:51.000And bottom line from an economic point of view, what we have got to say to the American people, if you lose your job, you will be made whole.
00:21:01.000If Trump can put, or the Fed can put a trillion and a half into the banking system, we can protect the wages of every worker in America.
00:21:09.000By the way, why do you think putting money into the banking system, as he's saying, or putting money as Donald Trump is into the economy, what do you think that's for?
00:21:20.000It's almost like it's for the workers to ensure that business can continue as normal as opposed to Bernie's view of the shovel-ready jobs.
00:21:28.000Bernie's view is government pays people.
00:21:31.000Donald Trump's view is let's try and equip employers, let's try and equip the financial sector so that business can continue.
00:21:37.000Bernie thinks well let's just take the money and give it to people.
00:21:40.000Notice right now he just said free health care for everybody and he said anybody who takes off work will get money.
00:21:46.000He didn't specify, by the way, and he never does, the clause, the pre-existing commitments, conditions there.
00:21:52.000Okay, how do they prove if they have to get off work that it was, in fact, coronavirus?
00:21:56.000Okay, what do we do in order for people to receive free health care if they have private insurance and we know that this is something that was out of the ordinary due to coronavirus?
00:22:02.000It's just free for everyone, just like student loan forgiveness.
00:23:45.000It's going to cost thousands of dollars for treatment.
00:23:48.000Okay, this is pivotal, alright people?
00:23:50.000He's talking about some people who can't afford to go to the doctor.
00:23:53.000Which, by the way, thank God that we have a private sector here because you can pay $50, $75 to go see a doctor, for example, in Texas.
00:24:01.000In states like this, you can pay $50 to go see a doctor.
00:24:03.000And by the way, a general practitioner at this point will be just as equipped to help you in this state as you would with some kind of a specialist, because we don't necessarily have a cure.
00:24:11.000We don't necessarily have a vaccine, right?
00:24:12.000So you can pay cash to go see a doctor.
00:24:14.000So the choice is, do you want some people having trouble paying the $50, $60, $75 to go see a doctor cash, or do you want people to not be able to see a doctor at all?
00:24:26.000That's what's happening in socialized healthcare countries.
00:24:28.000That's what happens in Canada without a crisis.
00:24:31.000You can go watch my Canadian socialized healthcare video on YouTube.
00:24:35.000They told me three years to get a family doctor or go to med school and look at the kids who are graduating.
00:27:03.000When we spend twice as much per capita on healthcare as any other nation, one might
00:27:07.000expect that we would have enough doctors all over this country.
00:27:11.000One might expect... No, no, no, no, no, no!
00:27:12.000It's like we only care about this one thing that was unforeseeable.
00:27:16.000And we don't spend any other dollars on any other life-saving treatments, the most amount of transfusions and research and new medicine and organ replacements and all of that.
00:27:46.000Here's the problem with this, and this sounds really good to the Young Turks Network, right, and the people like that who want to go out and talk about how we spend more on healthcare and we still don't have a perfect healthcare system.
00:28:37.000It's still way better than the countries that he would point to, especially if you point to any countries that have a comparable population, right?
00:28:42.000It's not really fair to necessarily compare it to Sweden or Denmark, where you have the population of Rhode Island, and they all look the same, and they all have the same genetic profile.
00:28:52.000What I'm saying is that having a similar genetic profile makes it easier to study how people react to the diseases.
00:28:58.000Just like you see the difference between a Jewish person, an Asian person, a black person, a Mediterranean person, and a Scandinavian person will have different genetic proclivities and different susceptibilities to a disease.
00:29:09.000I mean, one of the simplest way to consider it is if you have every... Asians don't wash their hands.
00:29:21.000No, but when you think about a small country like Sweden, and you think about the homogenous group of people that are there, just think about the sheer number of increased number of genetic disorders we have in America as a melting pot.
00:29:33.000One of the things that is our strength, however, comes with the consequence of meaning You're going to have every single race, every single genetic makeup, every single subtype of person or genome, all here in America.
00:30:17.000He's trying to hold us to a perfect standard and comparing it to a horrible one with nationalized healthcare to make an argument that the world's biggest country, well, not the biggest, one of the biggest countries as far as population, sorry, I know we No, but think about this.
00:30:34.000He compares the American healthcare system to a perfect standard where everyone can get everything they need all the time.
00:30:41.000But his solution is not a perfect system.
00:30:44.000His solution is a demonstrably worse system.
00:30:48.000This is why Bernie is pushing people who are willing to scratch the surface to get below the soundbites and he's pushing them to all the other candidates.
00:31:48.000No, the other thing to look at here is that when Bernie says 1 in 5 can't afford it, the study that that came from said 1 in 5, or roughly 20%, asked their doctor for a cheaper drug.
00:32:00.000I ask my doctor for a cheaper drug, no matter what the drug is.
00:33:10.000By the way, don't you love how he mentions Ebola and not swine flu?
00:33:12.000Because there was no, when people talk about this department, the task force, what was the term there, Reg?
00:33:17.000The task force of people who are specialized, pandemic task force, which is really just 12 guys in a room going like, oh, this is gonna get bad.
00:33:24.000They didn't have it until after Ebola.
00:35:26.000For those who are just tuning in, the drinking game is drink every time they stutter or repeat themselves or just generally seem out of sorts.
00:35:36.000I'm pretty confident Joe Biden is just repeating poorly written CNN articles over and over again.
00:35:42.000He's describing the graphics, not really Well, poorly written CNN is more redundant.
00:36:11.000What bothers me very much is you have a president of the United States today, Mr. Trump.
00:36:16.000Who is praising China for the good work that they are doing, when in fact, as you indicated, they were lying to their own people and allowing that virus to move much more aggressively.
00:36:26.000You guys said it was racist to put the travel ban on China.
00:36:31.000Could you believe if he said China is terrible?
00:36:33.000There's been no president who's been more strict on China than Donald Trump.
00:38:48.000What we're going to do is make it clear to the world and make it clear to the United States that we are going to have to have a major, major, major bailout package that we do not reward corporations, we reward individuals who in fact are really put to the test here.
00:39:04.000The problem is the policies of this administration economically... How come we don't bail out anyone?
00:40:44.000I'd make it an analog clock, and it would guarantee that he loses every debate.
00:40:49.000Fox News, if you're listening, when you handle a national debate, analog clock.
00:40:57.000We got people who are struggling working two or three jobs to put food on the table.
00:41:02.000BULLSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII And about 4 point something percent.
00:41:38.000Americans are making more than ever before, they're working reasonable hours, and fewer Americans are working two jobs than under Barack Obama.
00:41:45.000Certainly at the beginning of his presidency.
00:42:37.000And then afterward, remember, it was no one gets kicked out because the banks wanted to foreclose.
00:42:41.000My parents had to put like 25% down at a crazy, crappy mortgage because people were being kept in their homes because the government was supposed to determine who are winners and losers.
00:43:21.000No, unless you know they're guaranteed by the government.
00:43:24.000And even more than that, the government was actually putting pressure, leveraging them to give loans to people who had no chance of paying it back.
00:43:30.000So then they bundled it together, basically with lesser risky loans, and they started to... This is what created the market crash.
00:43:37.000It was started with good intentions by the government.
00:43:39.000That is the root of the housing crash.
00:45:39.000They're bigger now than they were then.
00:45:41.000I thought at the time that in the midst of massive income and wealth inequality, the people on top, who were surtaxed on the wealth, could bail out.
00:45:51.000In the midst, we get trillions of dollars in zero interest loans to large banks.
00:45:56.000But the answer to your question is where we are right now.
00:46:37.000And that's one of the interesting things I think that Bernie continues to miss is he listens to the Bernie bros who say, free, free, free, gimme, gimme, gimme.
00:46:46.000And he forgets that the rest of America, the people who love America, whether you're a Democrat, whether you're a centrist, whether you're a conservative, Oh, don't play your bullshit fair and balanced here.
00:46:55.000But... Every now and then Bill's like, alright, listen, we gotta pull it back.
00:47:46.000So you have a guy on this stage who was the VP of, you didn't build that.
00:47:50.000And then you have another guy saying, we hate corporations.
00:47:52.000We're going to give money to the people who make up corporations.
00:47:55.000And by the way, I'm not arguing in support of the bank bailouts at all.
00:47:58.000But Emsling, if you're trying to keep an economy afloat, giving it solely to employees and not taking into account employers, and by the way, that's a lot easier to do.
00:48:55.000So people who say trickle-down is a myth, it's the same people who try to say the Star Wars missile defense system from Ronald Reagan was a myth, because that's what they coined it.
00:49:04.000Conservatives don't use the term trickle-down economics the way that leftists have tried to frame it.
00:49:08.000But the idea that, hey, the government can't really solve everything, but something that they can do is make sure that they get out of the way so that the people who drive this economy, businesses, can hire more people.
00:49:19.000They can invest more in their companies.
00:49:20.000That will be what's best for everyone long term.
00:49:23.000That is the difference between conservatism and liberalism.
00:49:27.000And so when people say, oh, I'm just down the middle, man.
00:49:44.000The government's not that great at solving every individual problem in people's lives.
00:49:47.000Let's get out of the way and try and create an environment where they can make the most and best decisions for themselves.
00:49:53.000And it's just crazy to me that they're both sort of populist arguments.
00:49:56.000Donald Trump has a positive populist argument.
00:49:59.000Despite his tweets, I get they can be mean, they can be crappy.
00:50:02.000But Donald Trump, think of this for a second.
00:50:04.000If the economy isn't doing well, if people don't believe that they can do better than they did two years ago, Donald Trump doesn't win re-election.
00:50:12.000If people do believe that they're doing well, and if people are hopeful and optimistic, Bernie Sanders cannot win the election.
00:50:20.000We're undocumented people who try to do the right thing.
00:50:22.000They're sick, they want to go to the doctor, they don't want to spread this disease, are now standing and thinking about whether ICE is going to deport them.
00:50:30.000So one of the things that we have to do is to make sure that everybody feels comfortable.
00:51:06.000I love how there's only two of them and yet they're still speaking over each other.
00:51:10.000We know that people over the age of 60 and those with underlying medical conditions are vulnerable to coronavirus and are being asked to change their behavior to protect themselves.
00:51:24.000So Senator Sanders, I'll start with you.
00:53:17.000So I'm taking all the precautions we're told for everybody else to take.
00:53:21.000Let's turn to the race more broadly now.
00:53:23.000Throughout this campaign, you've each laid out starkly different... I actually do appreciate that Biden does stop, even though I know it's just because he's run out of mental runway.
00:55:40.000Because average annual income is different from an hourly job.
00:55:43.000For example, someone flipping a fillet of fish today isn't necessarily worth more to a company than someone flipping a fillet of fish tomorrow, right?
00:55:49.000That job adjusted for inflation should pay about the same market rate.
00:55:53.000But individuals tend to get their biggest raises right at that point of about middle age, in their 30s, maybe early 40s, late 20s, because that's when they move up.
00:56:01.000Then it stabilizes because they find themselves in a job that's relatively stable.
00:56:05.000This also applies to people, of course, who are going to college, right?
00:56:09.000They may be working menial tasks, menial jobs, then they get a huge pay increase.
00:56:14.000I think we have it from American Enterprise Institute, or Brookings, I'm not entirely sure.
00:56:17.000That's the metric that matters, and it's consistently been over 5%.
00:56:20.000So people do make more today, but even using their standards, their average hourly wages, it's gone up I believe 5% under Donald Trump as opposed to somewhere between 2.5% and 3% under Barack Obama.
00:56:33.000And here's the thing, if I'm not entirely accurate with those numbers, Reg will bring them up, I know that I'm pretty damn close, I know it's closer than him saying Americans aren't making a nickel more.
00:56:44.000Which, by the way, is just short of him talking about how all he got was an orange in his stocking and liked it.
00:56:50.000I mean, in all fairness, he's still living in the 20s, so a nickel to him is like paying for a Cadillac.
00:56:55.000We have that chart that shows wage growth.
00:58:08.000Is it just me, or does Bernie Sanders have, like, considering how scrunched he is, he's like a human scrunchie, but he has really long arms, like the ghost of Christmas future in A Christmas Carol.
01:02:59.000I feel like he's, I feel like he's the kind of guy, first off, he is the kind of guy, Bernie is, he's the candidate who'd create a marionette that has to go to Fantasy Island, and Joe Biden is the guy who would be hiding in Pleasure Island in the bushes.
01:03:13.000Like in that, in that, you know, in the old, uh, one of those things where you put your face through so you look like those characters and just be Joe Biden like, huh?
01:04:50.000By the way, just in case people who don't, do you have any idea how easy it is for beer to be tainted by UV light?
01:04:55.000To give you an idea, my mother-in-law, Thanksgiving, she lived in an apartment that was 16 floors up.
01:05:00.000She took a growler of beer, my favorite beer, she put it out because it was cold, in the snow, on the balcony, in the sunlight, for three hours, and it tasted like a skunk roadkill.
01:08:16.000Which shouting white guy do you want under your party, Democrats?
01:08:20.000And by the way, even though they both say they support $15 an hour, keep in mind they are the party that kicked out Amazon from Queens, New York, that was providing average salaries of, I think, what, $122,000 a year?
01:11:23.000I know what Bernie Sanders is going to say.
01:11:30.000He said he voted against that because he didn't want mom-and-pop gun shops to be sued.
01:11:33.000But the fact is, if you compare his record with pharmaceutical companies and being able to be litigious with every other industry, the reason he protected the gun industry, and I think he was totally right in that vote, is because he comes from a state with the most relaxed gun laws in the country, Vermont, and he didn't want to lose the voting constituency.
01:14:14.000It's very clear that because Bernie is against all corporations, and he's against the entire healthcare industry, that if you work for a corporation, or you work in healthcare, you should not vote for Bernie.
01:15:26.000But obviously I hope to win the nomination.
01:15:29.000But if I don't win the nomination, I, and I think every other Democratic candidate, is prepared to come together to do everything humanly possible to defeat Donald Trump.
01:15:38.000But let me respond to something that Joe... Sorry, I was just looking through.
01:15:42.000I was like, ah, he's made a claim that I was predicting, but then I can't find it.
01:23:33.000Number one, I committed that if I'm elected president and have an opportunity to appoint someone to the courts, I'll appoint the first black president.
01:28:05.000Biden's plan, he wants to increase the refugee cap from 18,000 to 125,000.
01:28:09.000That's a wonderful way to handle a pandemic.
01:28:13.000And then Bernie wants to set a goal of accepting 50,000 migrants displaced by climate change.
01:28:20.000Well, you mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, love.
01:28:23.000I'll answer your question and respond to Joe's comments about the 2007 immigration bill.
01:28:29.000Can I just say something really quick?
01:28:31.000The answer as to whether or not he's going to have a woman, like who his vice president candidate is going to be?
01:28:37.000He only paused for a short amount, but I will tell you, after this debate, that will be the thing that so many people will come after him for on the left.
01:28:47.000They will take any hesitation there, they will take it to his grave.
01:28:52.000How funny would it be if he actually told someone in private, because usually by this point they've had the conversation about BP, how funny would it be if he already told someone who wasn't a woman that they were getting it, and just watching it right now like, I don't know, Tom Steyer's like, SHIT!
01:29:06.000No, no, Tom still thinks he's going to be relevant.
01:31:44.000The issue is, Let's make sure that we're taking care of, we're being more stringent on the ports of entry and let's eliminate the ports of entry.
01:31:51.000Let's make them as narrow and specific as possible so we can control it.
01:31:56.000Do you see how the problem would be worse if right now the only place they can get through is primarily where we have immigration problems and you want to make that place through which they can pass all of the places?
01:32:09.000parents are fighting families up. We need a humane border.
01:32:14.000This is where they, this is where, by the way, where Bernie Sanders loses the populist vote.
01:32:19.000The people in the Rust Belt who think they want him, who think that he's for the worker
01:32:22.000because really they're just people who don't believe in themselves and they want a handout.
01:32:26.000And I don't care if I say this and some people get mad because I'm not running for office.
01:32:29.000Yeah, if you vote for someone who says he's going to guarantee you free health care, free pension, a living wage that you haven't earned, you're a loser who's looking for a handout.
01:32:37.000If you are looking to Bernie Sanders to save you, I'm sorry, you are not a man.
01:32:42.000In other words, you need to pick yourself up by your bootstraps.
01:32:45.000I know, the analogy according to AOC was actually that people can't pick themselves up by their bootstraps.
01:32:50.000The issue here is if you are looking to someone like Bernie Sanders to save you, I don't have that much respect for you.
01:32:56.000If you're the head of your household and you are waiting and fixating on Bernie Sanders making sure that you and yours are taken care of, that's not being a provider.
01:33:04.000But he is losing people right now across the rice belt, people who want a job, people who want to come by it honestly, people who are working class by the way, but you lose them when you start saying that you want to open the borders because you want a humane solution.
01:33:16.000All Americans know that that is going to, it's not going to help them.
01:33:21.000It's going to lower the standard of living.
01:33:22.000It's going to fracture our culture here in the United States more.
01:33:25.000No one has a problem with immigrants coming here legally.
01:33:27.000We do have a problem with what they are talking about right now.
01:33:30.000And make no mistake, open borders, they just bitched about the points of entry and then basically said that they want all areas of the border to be points of entry because it's a humane thing to do.
01:33:38.000No, you know what the humane thing to do is?
01:33:40.000The humane thing to do is to take care of American workers, not only American workers, but American people who don't want to be contaminated by viruses and third world bacteria that we have no idea what's coming in at this point.
01:33:51.000Every single American who wants any form of security, because you can't have security Regardless of how many TSA pat-downs or sigmoidoscopes they pop out when you go through security, or the nude x-ray photos, if you have a wide open border.
01:34:05.000Bernie Sanders loses Americans with that, and I think if Bernie Sanders was a nominee... I don't even know if that's wood, it seems like a thin veneer.
01:34:14.000If Bernie Sanders is the nominee, he will lose to Donald Trump because the economy is good and the immigration issue.
01:34:21.000He has a little bit of a leg to stand on with the gun issue, but not so much because he said he's aiming for an F because he was the only D-minus candidate.
01:34:28.000Now, of course, he has the peer pressure from the Democratic Party where he needs to be an F candidate with the NRA.
01:34:32.000But his biggest losing issue is immigration that doesn't resonate with the American public, and of course, just the overall idea that we need a revolution against the best economy that modern American workers have ever seen.
01:34:48.000You know, what's really interesting, I'd say, when you're out in public and you hear the headlines versus the reality of what people are and what they want with this country, is there are no rational Americans of any color or creed that want open borders.
01:35:04.000Even if you go up to someone and they say, I want open borders.
01:35:07.000And you ask them, what does that mean?
01:35:08.000They go, well, I mean, smart legal immigration.
01:36:10.000It is insane that we continue to have fracking, which brought gas prices and energy costs down
01:36:15.000to the lowest point when adjusted for inflation in modern American history.
01:36:18.000Wait, and if we didn't have fracking and the development of our own natural gas system, then Saudi Arabia's decision to either increase or decrease the amount of production in order to manipulate the economy, I don't know, we might be completely beholden to them?
01:36:34.000Hey, by the way, did you know how we get oil from the Middle East?
01:37:37.000And if you're out there and you've got something to say about that, leave a comment.
01:37:40.000You know that when the people out there who are really making sure that we protect the environment in a smart way, not just to protect everything all the time at the expense of humanity and the growth of the human race.
01:37:51.000If you're a true conservationist, go ahead and leave a comment.
01:37:53.000I hate it when I see people just throw trash out.
01:39:01.000I would be right now organizing the hemisphere and the world to provide $20 billion for the Amazon, for Brazil, no longer to burn the Amazon so they could have forests.
01:39:12.000They're no longer forests, but they could have farming.
01:39:42.000We have to act dramatically, boldly, if we're going to save lives in this country and around the world.
01:39:48.000Because his healthcare plan wouldn't do enough in taking over a fifth of the American economy, then he just wants to earmark and the rest with a five-page Green New Deal.
01:41:01.000The reason we've cut down on catastrophic spills is because we have more control and we've opened up fracking and offshore drilling.
01:41:11.000The fact that the BP oil spill was considered such a disaster was proof positive that it's abnormal because that doesn't happen in the United States the way that it does in third world countries or in the Middle East all of the time on which we were... We're actually no longer completely energy dependent, for example, on Saudi Arabia.
01:44:16.000What we need to do right now Oh, by the way, for those of you who have conspiracy theories about my wedding ring, the only reason it's gone is I had an Oura ring, which was like a fitness tracker, and it was so crappy, don't worry, they're not a sponsor, it sucked, and then I dropped it, and it just stopped working, and then my old ring before the Oura, like, my fingers are just bigger than they were.
01:45:06.000I just spoke about this earlier and I'm sure we probably got some comments from people saying, oh, liberals.
01:45:11.000One of the most controversial articles I ever wrote when I was at Fox News, I don't even know if it's still up there if you could search it in the archive, was that liberals, the far left wants you on public transit because that's another way that they can control you.
01:45:20.000Then recently there was an article I think we wrote about on the website that said we need to make gas more expensive so that it discourages people from buying SUVs so they start using public transit.
01:45:31.000Now, he didn't say we need to encourage industry or provide tax incentives to private companies that could create technological advancements so that rail travel could be more effective.
01:45:40.000He said high-speed rails so that we can take millions of cars off the road.
01:45:46.000Tell me that that's for you, the American working class.
01:45:49.000Tell me that that's going to make your life a better place, to be dependent on the United States government.
01:45:54.000You know who can talk to you about that?
01:45:59.000People right now who are quarantined in countries where they can't leave because they're dependent entirely on the government for transportation.
01:47:26.000You can always tell the style of lighting.
01:47:28.000CNN probably brought in the same photographer for the UFC.
01:47:31.000And he was like, I don't know what you, like, I'm used to shoot, I'm used to filming, taking pictures of, like, Adonis' physical specimens.
01:48:30.000Again, the promo code is CrowderDebateStream.
01:48:32.000We're trying to keep up a little bit more right now so that that way we don't have to cut it out so much so we're not removed, but if for some reason you want to hear the debate a little bit more because we're trying to fact check it live, of course you can sync it up with us and listen to both live, but it's good.
01:48:45.000This time I don't think we're gonna be removed so we will be back in three minutes however long their commercials
01:48:50.000take Do not attempt the training techniques you are about to see
01:52:51.000They shouldn't have to enter in a promo code and go to that landing page.
01:52:53.000But it's fresh roasted and delivered right to you.
01:52:56.000So especially right now with the coronavirus, you don't want to go out and buy Folgers because, A, you have to go out and then you have to drink Folgers, and then you're an asshole.
01:53:05.000Sorry, by Folgers he meant crappy coffee.
01:53:20.000So I think we condemn authoritarianism, whether it's in China, Russia, Cuba, any place else, but to simply say that nothing ever done by any of those administrations had a positive impact on the people.
01:53:34.000Didn't he just give Donald Trump a bunch of shit for saying that he said Donald Trump believed China when they were lying to their people, which by the way, nobody knew.
01:53:42.000Donald Trump couldn't have known at that time.
01:53:45.000On the flip side, so Donald Trump said, hey, China, at this point, which is what we thought, China seems to be doing their best to contain the coronavirus.
01:56:00.000If people are listening, he just lost the election.
01:56:04.000General rule, don't praise Hitler or the Nazis ever, and don't say that Communist China... Here's the thing, in a vacuum, if you would say that Communist China is...
01:56:15.000Is better off today than 30 years ago as far as the poorest among them?
01:56:29.000You don't have to go all the way across the globe into another hemisphere.
01:56:33.000China may or may not have improved slightly.
01:56:36.000And again, like you said, Bernie, we can't trust the Chinese because you were condemning Donald Trump for taking them at their word that they were containing the coronavirus.
01:57:15.000And if you don't understand ideology, and if you don't understand your ism, what your worldview is, it doesn't mean that you have to follow lockstep with the Republican Party, but you do have to understand how you view the world.
01:57:26.000Otherwise, you have no hope of understanding why Bernie Sanders, in 2020, when running for the President of the United States, is even thinking of implying that China has done anything to reduce poverty.
01:58:04.000was a fake. You should throw it away. And I'm prepared to compare my foreign policy credentials
01:58:10.000up against my friend here on any day of the week and every day. Well let's start off with the war
01:58:14.000in Iraq Joe. I was there too. I was in the house. Guess who opposed it? Donald Trump. And by the way
01:58:20.000let's be... That's a wash for Bernie and Trump. You were there at the signing uh ceremony with Bush.
01:58:26.000Everybody... And by the way I'll say something unpopular.
01:58:29.000I supported the war in Iraq at that point, and now I understand that it was a futile effort because these people, and I don't mean brown people, these people in Iraq are animals.
01:58:40.000They think if they kill the next guy they can be number one.
01:58:41.000They don't understand a constitutional republic, let alone the idea of democracy.
01:59:11.000The issue is whether or not in difficult times, God knows these are difficult times, we're
01:59:20.000going to have the courage to take on powerful special interests and do what's right.
01:59:25.000So just so you know, I'm not going to act like the bobbleheads and you're like I'm an expert, because I guarantee you Jake Tapper doesn't know everything.
01:59:32.000I know that obviously we went in the direction, even if you go back to Carter, All the way through Donald Trump, the direction of NAFTA and TPP.
01:59:40.000There might be some subtle variations therein, but that was the establishment politics.
02:02:11.000The reason is because they know I am a Democrat with a capital D who in fact believes that our base is the base of the Democratic Party, which are hard-working men and women who in fact are high school educated, African-Americans and minorities, including Hispanics, but all minorities, suburban women, people who in fact have a sense of our place in the world.
02:04:47.000If you want a president who can't even defeat his own primary opponent and even speak strongly against him in the most simple terms... Yeah, if Bernie were in Queen, his song would be, We're doing okay, my friends.
02:05:03.000And we'll keep doing everything in our power until close to the termination of the contract.
02:05:13.000We're not number one because that would be the establishment, but we'll perpetually, number two, we'll retire number one because it's not good.
02:05:25.000We will, we will, uh, uh, uh, hopefully be heard by you.
02:06:06.000I think, you know, Bernie, I think if we learned anything from Trump is that if you want to beat the establishment, you have to go for the jugular.
02:07:12.000The big knock against Donald Trump was, we think this guy's a centrist, a guy who was a Democrat for a long time in New York, who's pretending to be a conservative right now so that he can win the Republican primary.
02:07:22.000Whereas right here you have Democrats trying to present themselves as more centrist than they actually are.
02:07:27.000So people can talk about which issues Americans line up with.
02:07:31.000You hear a lot of people on the left like Samantha Bee, Young Turks, John Oliver saying most people support Medicare for all.
02:07:50.000I think we have that source somewhere.
02:07:52.000They have to present themselves as more centrist than their policies.
02:07:56.000Donald Trump had to present himself as more right-leaning than how he may have been in actuality.
02:08:01.000That should tell you who lines up with more Americans, because you can use statistics to try and ask leading questions all you want.
02:08:07.000Ultimately, there is imperial data, and statistics do matter, but I tend to give more weight to statistics that nail specifics, not just, would you like some kind of free healthcare?
02:08:50.000But when you look at what Bernie's doing today, he's making a lot of faces, he's raising a lot of fingers while Joe's speaking, but he's not actually going after him.
02:08:58.000And in the moments when you notice Joe finishes... Hold on a second.
02:11:26.000Well I'm just saying they're going to come in through Mexico.
02:11:29.000I mean do you feel like the coronavirus could actually shift the whole debate about immigration
02:11:34.000I mean, you have, I mean, in globalism in general, our reliance on other countries for industry and things like that, because you even have, you know, Mexico is wanting to close its border.
02:12:46.000Hey, by the way, the total number of people who've died to coronavirus in the United States is lower than people who've died because of socialized healthcare during that exact same period.
02:12:56.000Just to keep it in context, probably in Italy alone.
02:14:41.000The idea that we would close any place that... I can understand the decision made to close places where a hundred or fifty people or more gather, but how do you keep open the drugstore to make sure you can get your prescription?
02:14:54.000How do you deal with... Bernie's like, you forced them!
02:14:57.000He's like, I've got a plan, and yet his whole closing is like, but what do we do?
02:15:05.000His whole plan sounds like he's sending an encrypted message to the pharmacist at his Duane Reade so that he hopes they don't close before the debate is over.
02:15:14.000And I better be able to get my Lamisil after this because you know how important that is.
02:15:58.000Not because he's queer, just that he is the queer from West Village.
02:16:02.000Alright, so people watching here on YouTube, we are about to go to our wrap-up at TheBlazeTV.com and I know somebody, listen, it's not a bait-and-switch.
