Speaker 5: Do I The Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining and
informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network Attention dittoheads, attention
bo scouts. It's time for the soul of excellence.
Speaker 4: He is a radio host here.
Speaker 5: In New York.
Speaker 6: The Rush Hour is on the air, Rush Rush. Now
here's James Golden. So Senator Schumer voted. No, He wasn't
even publicly in favor of all this. Why is this
his fault?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 7: Look, he orchestrated it. Here are a few of the facts.
Senator Shaheen was on this morning saying every negotiation was
run by him every day. His number two, Dick Durbin,
voted for it. And then did you notice that all
eight senators are voted for it were not up for
reelection in twenty twenty six. That's not a coincidence. This
was done with Senator Schumer's blessing. I think people are
more upset that he doesn't just come out.
Speaker 4: And say that.
Speaker 7: And if you're not going to lead in stopping premium
hikes on healthcare, in preserving the Affordable Care Act, then
it's time for you to step aside.
Speaker 8: Welcome my friends to the Tuesday edition of both and
their release Rush Hour. The anger is palpitable Democrats upset
with their leadership in the midst of a failed shutdown,
what should be completely gotten rid of by the end
of the week. The House of Representatives comes back into
session tomorrow. Before we get into the ins and outs,
it is so refreshing to see a political party tearing
itself apart, engaged in a circle, a circular firing squad,
and it not be the Republicans. I can't tell you
how refreshing that is. But before we get into all
of that, it is Veterans Day across this America, and
is with every significant American holiday, we call upon the
official historian of this show, my dear friend and colleague
from Days with Rush lumba show. He was web producer
with Rush. He is the founder of historyauthor dot com.
He is a columnist with The New York Sun. And
he is also, by the way, a fellow broadcaster as well,
man of many talents and author. I might add, not
just of history books, but cuisine as well. You know,
Carlos and his wife wrote a book on Greek cuisine. Yes,
Carlos is from Greece. Dean, I don't know whether you
know that or not.
Speaker 1: No, you never mentioned it, which is surprising Greeks.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so, Dean taranis is with us, ladies and gentlemen.
It is Veterans Day, you know, Dean. I mentioned last
night to my niece, well, tomorrow's Armistice Day, and she
had And this is not to slight her, of course, no,
I she had no clue what I was talking about
when I said Armistice Day? What day? Armistice Day? And
then I said, does the phrase the eleventh hour of
the eleventh day of the eleventh month mean anything to you?
Where you taught anything about that when you were attending school?
And again, and I'm not slighting her at all, this
is just the reality. No, we weren't. I've taught anything
about that, Dean Armistice Day, which is now known as
Veterans Day. Uh, tell us about that day and how
it is and why it is important for Americans to
honor it.
Speaker 1: Well, thanks to everybody for listening, first of all, especially
through that long introduction, which I appreciate, but I cringe
a little bit. I'm not going to taking the compliments.
But because I want it to be about the veterans,
I sincerely do it not just the ones who might
be listening out there right now that I thank for
their service, but those great war veterans, the World War
One veterans that you just mentioned, the ones that saw
the bloodshed stop on that eleventh day in nineteen nineteen,
was the first armisist day, but on the eleventh hour,
or at the eleventh hour in the eleventh month, on
the eleventh day. And I always stick up for them.
I always feel that War War One is so much death,
so much sacrifice, for really no purpose. Because we come
back for World War Two and a lot of people
just want to skip ahead. They only have so much
time to learn things in history. I'm sure that's the
case with your niece. In schools, they only have so
much space in a history textbook, so they go and
they oh, well, world War two, that's the one we
still talk about. That's the one that really readrew the map.
World War One doesn't settle much, but at the time,
the people who lived through it, that was the great war.
That was a massive conflict, and it did change the
face of the country. You had people shambling around for
many years that had the injuries from the gas attacks,
poison gas, who had lived in the tragus, who lost limbs,
just as with the Civil War. And you even had
one private, private Nicholas Gunther. He was the last man killed,
the last American killed, And that was when they knew
that the armisicist was coming. Because the people negotiating that
treaty had to wait, which I always thought was a
little strange. If we decided an armistice, how about we
stopped the killing right now, But they decided to wait
for a really symbolic moment, the eleven eleven eleven, and
he charged the German machine gun nests. People on both
sides are telling this twenty three year old private stop,
the war is over, and unfortunately he ends up being killed.
He's the last man who's killed. General Blacksac Pershing says
he's the last one. And today, for Veterans Day, it's
not about men like that like Gunther, laid down their lives,
but the men who were seeing that happen. Those are
the veterans. And I think we tend to think of
veterans today because we haven't lived through a world war,
thank god most of us. We think of them as well,
they come home, they get a discount card. Really we
appreciate them. We watched movies unfortunately instead of really speaking
to people. Just a sign of our modern world, but
they had to watch one of their comrades get gunned down.
You had George H. W. Bush, the infamous Chichijima incident.
He gets shot down and he's with eight Navy and
Marine airman and they all get captured by Japanese, tortured,
there's cannibalism, some of them are eaten by the Japanese soldiers.
He has to carry that guilt with him as the
pilot of that plane, as the survivor. He has survivors guilt,
did George H. W.
Speaker 9: Bush?
Speaker 1: And so I think that that's what's so important about
going back to Armistice Day and reading and looking at
some of the memoirs of these men. I covered two
yesterday I played because I Guestosa for our friend Derek
Hunter on his podcast, and I had interviewed two World
War Two veterans. They both passed on now. One of
them was one hundred and three who'd been there at
Pearl Harbor at the Pearl Harbor attack, Lieutenant Jim Downing,
And the other one was Roger Boas, who was with
Patton's Army. He was one of the first Americans to
liberate a Nazi concentration camp and That's one of the
reasons I do the history author show interviews is because
if there is a young person like your niece, or
if there's somebody out there listening now who says I
never really thought much about World War One. I hear
all the time about World War Two, and we seem
to be living forever on the aftermath or in the
aftermath of World War Two. But it is important to
remember how this starts, how this is this massive global
conflict that launches us into the world stage, onto the
world stage America. But there are real people who needed
to pay the price for that. And yes they came home,
Yes they got parades, but they would often be signs
outside businesses. No soldiers allowed, because like today, they feared
that there might be something wrong with them, they might
suffer from. At the time, they called it soldier's heart,
or they called it battle rattle, which is the name
of Roger Boas's memoir, and people were afraid of them
shell shock, that's the one we know from World War One.
So I think that what you did was absolutely right
with asking those questions and the way that you ask
them of young people, especially because that's the only way
you were going to learn. And I always say in history,
I have plenty of things I've thought were right that
turned out to be wrong, or stories that I didn't know,
and I always say it benefits me nothing to be
I want to learn those stories. I want to expand
my own horizon. When I see the about one hundred
and fifty different World War One memorials around New York City,
I want to put faces to those names, because they
were just like us, and they don't deserve to just
be black and white photographs and books or grainy footage
in movies.
Speaker 8: I'll tell you one of the things that I think
is very difficult, Gean, and that we two other. Two
points I want to make. The first one is as
much as I have studied history, if someone would have
asked me, point blank give me the elevator pitch on
why World War One was fought, I would have struggled
doing it. We can talk about the events that happened
with the arch arch Duke of Ferdinand and all the
rest of it, but why and why was World War
One even fought? What were the conflicts that led to
a world being engulfed in war in Europe? And how
in America getting dragged in. It's a difficult war to
explain to people, to me anyway, or to understand. But
the second point is we differentiate World War One in
World War Two, and really it is the conclusion of
World War One that led directly to World War Two.
It was in some people, and I've seen it written
that it is the same war with a thirty year
gap in between.
Speaker 4: What do you think about that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great way to put it. It's a pause.
It's one of the reasons why when people were calling
for yet another cease fire with Hams in Gaza, folks
like Goss, I imagine we're both yelling. I certainly wrote
about it at the New York Sun. That's not how
you get victory. You get victory. And this will sound
very familiar to you from all those rust ears, but
because it's true, you don't get victory by calling a break.
This was the case even in the Gulf War with
the so called Highway of Death, and they said, oh,
they're running away, and General Schwartzkow and General Powells, Well,
there's a difference between which withdrawing to fight again another
day and a surrender. If they want to surrender they
can lay down their weapons, but just withdrawing and leaving
them intact to fight another day is not a way
that you're going to have a lasting peace. And you
think of the way that we did it in the
Civil War in the United States, and people say, well,
they were God, people are starving in Gaza. Well, show
me a war where people weren't starving. That was literally
the objective of the Union was to implement Winfield Scott's
and a Conda plan to strangle the South and to
like an Auta Conda. And people were distilling their urine
to get supplies to make bombs. People were starving, people
were eating sawdust, bread, they were eating rats. At Vicksburg.
When US Grant surrounded Vicksburg demanded their surrender, they would
not surrender. They end up surrendering on surrendering on July fourth,
and don't celebrate July fourth for many years after that
till the Second World War. Really is the story people.
Obviously they had lingering anger about that. That's what war is.
War is not, well, we'll take a break. And this
is also, by the way, what the Imperial Japanese hoped.
They saw what the US and the Allies did in
World War One, and they thought, well, if we can
make it really painful for them, they won't make us surrender,
they won't force us to lay down our arms, and
we can just come back another time and finish the
genocide of Asia and put ourselves in control. We won't
lose the empire. And of course Truman ends up dropping
those nuclear bombs and forcing their own conditional surrender. That's
how you win a war. And I think, because World
War One is inconclusive, you think, well, why would I
want to read all the early things? There's no point
to it, you feel like almost And also the map
has completely changed. Those people aren't there We think of
the Austro Hungarian Empire. Who is out there thinking of
the austral Hungarian Empire unless it's for Paul Rubens's guest
shot on thirty rocks with a little shriveled hand. No
nobody ever thinks of them, and so we have found
a hard time relating. But and for me and my wife,
for instance, her grandfather was in the Great War, and
she has his diary and we have his picture on
the wall prominently. I walk by it every day, and
I think it is important to know them and that
helps us know ourselves, and it helps us understand when
we vote, when we commit to the country, when we
get angry, maybe about things in the country, that we
have people watching over our shoulders from history, and some
of them are civilists now certainly some veterans from more
recent conflicts. I think it just makes us better citizens.
And so we'll go wherever you get it. You don't
have to go to historyauthor dot com, but I have
a bunch of interviews there on World War One. It's
a war that starts because I think we forget those things.
You know, the Civil War had been a long time before,
and as far as the cause of the war, I
think you'll approve of laying a lot of it at
the foot of Woodrow Wilson. As far as the American involvement,
I think if Theodore Roosevelt is president that year, if
he doesn't run in nineteen twelve and has another shot,
he knew all the players. I think he might have
calmed things down. And this is something that Jim Downing,
Lieutenant Jim Downing, that Pearl Harbor survivor Ian three said.
He said, Weekes invites aggression, keep America strong. He was
a Big Week supporter of President Reagan and that piece
through strength. So I think that's the that's the answer. Yeah,
it's tough to pend on. You say, why did you
do it for nothing? But sometimes wars happened that way.
Speaker 8: James Goldland with you here, snur ly, tell you what
deans stick around? We got to move into current day.
I'm going to talk about shutdown. So why don't you
hang around for that. Let's that war, the political war
that's taking place in America. Keep it right here and
do not go away.
Speaker 6: Rush.
Speaker 5: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden. The Rush
Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative.
Speaker 9: On the Red Apple Cast Network.
Speaker 10: James Golden, known popularly as both Nerdly.
Speaker 4: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden. Rush.
Speaker 11: A group of moderates came to Chuck Schumer two weeks
into the shutdown, two weeks in and said we're ready
to reopen the government. He said, no hold out, no
hold out. Mid October he said to his entire caucase
said if anyone tried to reopen the government, he would
stand against them. That's according to sources that told Axios.
So shame on Chuck Schumer. I know he's gotten the
wrap as the moderate being beholden to the far left. No,
he caused the pain. He pushed the pain through along
with Hakim Jeffries. And it's quite quite sad to see
the radical left take over that.
Speaker 8: And the radical left is going to continue taking over.
Dean carry andis is with us. We'll get back with
Dean because I want to get his take on what
is going to be the aftermath of the shutdown. I
can tell you two things that are happening already. You
have an editorial today. We have an editorial today in
the Washington Post of all places from a Reshpreneu another
pointless shutdowns, shut them down permanently. He's calling for an
end to these government shutdowns. It is a compelling piece.
He goes through the history of shutdowns on how they
have been ineffective for both Republican and Democrats who have
tried when they were empowered not in power, to use
the shutdown as a leverage point. Yesterday, also in the
Washington Post, of all places, the shutdown was always going
to end like this. This is the editorial board of
the Washington Post. They begin by saying, when conservatives shut
down the government in twenty thirteen over a foolhardy attempt
to defund the Obamacare. Many elected Republicans who knew better
went along because they would scared of angry activists. The
same exact thing just happened to Democrats, and it's ending
the same way, with the same inevitable failure and predictable
backlash from their own angry activists. And they also Washington
Post praised the eight Democrats who stood up and changed it.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 8: Anybody that thinks that they didn't try to end this
with Chuck Schumer's blessing, guess again. Anyway, we'll be back.
We got so much more. So, whatever you do, keep
it right there, do not go away.
Speaker 5: The Rush Hour with James Golden entertaining and informative.
Speaker 9: On the Red Apple podcast network.
Speaker 10: James Golden, known popularly as both Nerdly.
Speaker 5: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden Rush.
Speaker 12: I think my party crossed a line of now putting
forty two American apace to be a forty two million
Americans with their snap benefits and making flying less safe
and that kinds of chaos, and not paying our military.
I mean that that was a red line for me.
That I can't cross as a Democrat, and I think
that's been described country over the party, and now that
I think that's been the truth throughout it. And it's
only wrong to shut our government down. And I'm relieved.
But the people now that are going to get paid
and fed and millions, millions of American they're going to
be flying now that's going to be made more safe
and restored.
Speaker 8: That of course. John Fetterman, Senator from Pennsylvania. James Godwin
snarly with you here. Dean Carranis is here New York
Sun columness of the founder of historyauthor dot com, and
our show is official historian Dean shutdown. What is your
take on the impact of this longest shutdown of government
in America?
Speaker 1: Well, gosh, it seems like shutdown season earlier. Every year
they start playing the greatest hits, the shutdown music in October,
and boy again I would say, what if they threw
a shutdown and nobody came. That's how this one felt.
That old well was a great war slogan we were
talking about World War One, but adopted by the Hippies
and the anti war movement in the Vietnam era. When LBJ.
Wasn't ramping that involvement up. But I think a lot
of people are wise to it now, and I think
a lot of people are seeing it just as a pantomime.
That's usually my word for it. And it's hurting people.
It's shooting through your ba's, it's causing people pain. That's
what these shutdowns are designed to do. You remember with
the shutdown under President Obama that he was shuttering the
World War Two Memorial, which is outdoors. He was even
putting them outside places historical sites that weren't run by
the federal government, such as the William McKinley Library in Canton, Ohio.
He was putting cones up. They came out, said, what
does this. We're privately owned and he's shutting us down,
and they're trying. They put them up at Mount Rushmore,
which you all you have to do is look up
and you can see Mount Rushmore. You don't need you
don't need guides to or bathrooms or other things that
you might sometimes. But the point is they try to
make them painful, and if people feel pain, they'll do
what we want them to do. And ultimately this ends
up blowing up in Chuck Schomer's face, as you said
there and you was in your clip. Of course he's
the majority leader, I mean the minority leader aspiring majority leader.
And I think that they need to find a strategy
beyond just we hate Trump, we hate him. We want
to say no, no, no, no. It's like two year olds.
And I know there used to be that claim the
Republicans were the party of No. But you did have Gingerton,
They're working talking to President Clinton, you did have him
pushing him on things like welfare reform. There seems to
no longer be that little voice in people's heads that says, well,
we do kind of have to worry about the people
that elect us, probably in part because of jerry mandering
and also because of the activists. The lobbyist that you mentioned, Well,
that's what this was all about, was just making the
lobbyists happy, making the Rabbit supporters happy out there in
their protests, raging against this guy, screaming at the moon.
And a lot of these senators, Senator Fetterman side is
certainly not in this group, and the other well, the
other seven it's questionable because they knew that they wouldn't
pay a price. And you've had Republicans like Lindsay Graham
do that too. By the time I'm up with rear election,
Lindsay Graham once that you're going to forget all about this,
whatever it was. See, I did forget that we were
upset about at the moment. But Snarlin Arlen Speck there.
Remember he switched to the Democrats. And what did he say? Well,
I did this because this will enable me to win reelection,
he says, the Republican election forever. And then then you
switch it's about them. And I wish more people would
understand that the people that are dependent on the government
for their food and for their lodging and for their homes,
I wish they would be freed from that. And I
wish that more people would realize is they can give
it to you, they're going to take it away from you,
that you're under their thumb. And I still believe that
Americans at least have that yearning for liberty and a
lot of people in other parts of the world, but
here we're built on it. And with what's happening in
New York now, I'm wondering how much longer we're not
going to have that conversation like the one that you
had with your niece about Armistice Day and go to
people and say, think about having your food taken away.
Think about the movie Born Free, Go watch that everybody
in nineteen sixty six that lion is will defend for
itself and they think it's gonna die in the wild.
We don't want to be a nation of housecats with
the government just taking care of us and watering us
and don't go outside because it's scary, and the government
shut down. I think it's it's good in the sense
that it damage that kind of thinking. It made people
realize you shouldn't be counting on the government for your
next meal.
Speaker 8: You did not damage that kind of thinking. If do
you not disagree with you wholeheartedly. Oh, it's encouraging it. No, look,
here's here's sake if we use it.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, if you don't.
Speaker 8: Want a second, I don't want a second. It is
encouraging that kind of thinking. You do not hear any
Democrat saying, my gosh, the forty two million people that
are on Snap. Number one, why did the program expand
so much? Unto Joe Biden, we know the reasons why.
Number two, how can we get people off of it? Instead,
the clamor is, oh, my goodness, they're suffering. Let's not
care about the let's not care about the abuse. Let's
not care about people, basically young adult people that could
be working using food stamps as a way of life.
None of those discussions are happening. It's just let's restore
the benefits Obamacare, which is the center of all of
the pain. According to their Democrats. They're not talking about
how Obamacare, used by seven percent of the country, has
ruined the healthcareingness. Instead, they're saying, let's just restore these
unnaturally high premiums and support for premiums and subsidies that
are going to insurance companies who are making bazillions of
dollars because of the way that Obamacare set it up.
The Democrats are especially not interested in discussing a real
fix for it. Just restore the money, restore them sucking
on the American taxpayer's teat for as long as they can.
I don't hear those discussions happening. Do you really hear them?
Speaker 1: I say, it's an opportunity. I hear them happening here.
I wish if I was going to presume, like certain
people do out there, in the conservative media to tell
everybody else what they should be talking about. I would
be doing it. I would be I'm saying it. I
do it in might of the way. Because you're right
about defunding Obamacare. If they just mentioned that casually, yeah,
Republicans should be out there saying, oh, well, Obamacare, that
thing that you aced us out of, you passed on
your own, that we told you would cost too much.
We're gonna do what Abraham Lincoln said the best way
to get rid of a bad loss, to make sure
that it is really seriously enforced. Enforce it absolutely. We're
not going to change this. Obama's signature legislation, right, James,
his landmark legislation. It was, oh god, so wonderful. We
wouldn't dare. Republicans should say tamper with it in any way.
And if you need us to give you the votes
to save this horrible thing, let's start. We're not committing
to anything. Let's start with you admitting this was designed
to fail. Was Obamacare, that it costs too much? Just
like Medicare. If you go back and look at the Medicare,
I know you know this, James, The numbers of what
it was promised to cost by LBJ ballooned right away,
and we're there out of sight now. So I'm that's
one thing. I understand we don't have a lot of
Republicans making this point, but I think that's the opportunity here,
is to tell people they is they can yank your
chain like this and play with your lives, play with
your healthcare because they want power. Because the Arl Inspectors
of today think this is a great way to win
as the next election, to keep myself in power, to
juice you up to vote the way that they want
you to vote, so that they and their children and
their children's children are taking care of going to Sidwell
Friends and Yale and Harvard and they I think that's
the opportunity here. Maybe I'm too positive. I've never been
accused of that before, but I know what you're saying.
You don't hear that, but that's what I want to hear.
That's why I guess I need my own show. I
shouldn't just be a guest. But that's my point though,
is it's an opportunity if we have good messages, if
you have Republicans who aren't just thinking about defending Trump
and Democrats Democrats are so focused on Trump that I
think it's a real opportunity for ideology to use this
as what they call a teaching moment. So that's what
I mean by that.
Speaker 8: Well, I'll tell you what Princess Diana was on with
me on and you know her well at the Tricks
of the Limbald Letter. Of course, we worked with the wonderful,
beautiful Princess Diana. And one of the things she pointed out,
she went through all the things that Rush warned people
about as Obamacare was coming in, including the fact that
Rush said, look, just you just echoed what I had
said before. Obamacare was designed to fail. Rush gave a
timeline to it. Rush said within nine to fifteen years
of it's going to fail, and the clamoring would be
there at that point for what Democrats really want, which
is single payer healthcare, and he expressly said, played it
out how it's going to go. It is. The timeline
is happening right now exactly as Rush laid out for this.
Everything that was promised to the American people under Obamacare
has failed. Every single promise made was a lie. And
right now the opportunity should be to make sure that
that is front and center for the American people. You
briefly mentioned New York. I want to play you something
that Governor Hokle said, and I'd like you to just
talk about for a minute. Let's talk about this Man
Dami situation in New York cut thirteen. Carlos Man has
promised the free stuff, more free stuff, and it's going
to come a taxpayer expense. Of course, Hochel was asked
about that, and this is what Governor Hokeel, who is
now facing the challenge from at least Dephonic and she
but believed me, is concerned about that challenge. And this
is what Governor Hokeel said.
Speaker 13: We know that Mom Donnie does want to tax the
rich more, bring it up about two percent. He can't
do that on his own. You've previously said that you
wouldn't be raising taxes. Have you reconsidered that stance.
Speaker 10: No, I would say, one energetic rally does not get
me to change my positions, I assure you, But I
do hear people's voices. I process what everybody says. But
I'm also have to balance governing this state and making
sure that those people who are actually the reason we
have a generous supportive budget that helps lift people up.
It's their revenues that we tax. One and a half
percent of New Yorkers cover about us third of our budget.
That's enormous. I'm concerned about out migration of people who
are the ones who are sporting our budget. I cannot
make up for that with middle class tex increases. I
cannot do that to the middle class in the struggling
New Yorkers. So this is the balance, I mean, this
is my position.
Speaker 8: There's some political reality in that. First of all, there's
a lot to unpack with that. I think Dean one
energetic Rally's not going to change my position. Yeah, she
went out publicly bent to me, kissed his whatever she kissed,
But she's singing at the end of the day, and
that one the top one and a half percent of taxpayers,
the very people that Mandami's claiming he's gonna stick it
to in order to pay for his free buses, his
free daycare, all these promises that he made. She's very
concerned that top one and a half percent bracket of
taxpayers in New York are responsible for one third of
New York state budget and if they leave, it's all
going to crash down. What do you think is going
to happen in New York. Do you think that there's
going to be a recalibration to accept reality or people
are still going to be expecting all the freebies that
were promised with Mamdani.
Speaker 1: Well, he used the word reality there, and I think
that that presupposes that there is an objective reality, and
I think with a lot of people there isn't that.
I don't think that people like Mum Donnie, who believe
what he believes, if he even believes it, I think
they want to be a king. That was the headline
of my New York Son column last week was because
he quoted Eugene V. Debs, a five time socialist candidate
for president, and they called him King Debs And I said, boy,
after that, no king's rally. Kind of weird that Mumdannie
seems to think that he's going to be a king,
that he could just manifest these things, that he can
go into houses and take over the houses, that he
can go into your pocket and take your money. And
as for Hochel, I don't trust for a minute that
that's the reality she recognizes. I would say this is
the persuasion and take of a technique of casing. You know,
she's gonna say the things people want to hear, Like
Bill Clinton in nineteen ninety two, I'm gonna give you
a middle class sax cut, and I swear you are
going to play less. And then what happened? He was
in officer maybe what was it three weeks? Six weeks.
I works harder than I have on anything in my life,
harder even than putting that astro turf in the back
of my El Camino. But I just cannot give you
that tax cut. I promise y'all. And that's what's going
to happen here. I think they're afraid if she's already
afraid of, at least dephonic what happens when one of
Mam Donnie's minions decides they're gonna primary her. I don't
think Chuck Chumer is afraid of AOC. They're afraid because
I think that you're accurate. There is an understanding of
reality for a lot of these older generations of the
Democratic Party where they do realize, well, we may say
we're going to do a tax that not like Clinton
knew that he was snowing everybody. He was fooling us
and he had no intentions of cutting taxes. He wanted
to spend more, but you can't say that in the campaign.
I think the difference is that these people, these representatives
like Coachel like Schumer, they say, yeah, we're going to
talk about soaking the rich, We're never really going to
do it because those are our donors and our buddies.
Look how much money Chuck Schumer took from Donald Trump
back when he was just Donald Trump. Right, he basses
them all down, but they all were lining up to
take the gravy from the gravy train at Trump Tower.
And these young communists and socialists they believe this stuff
and the fact that they only need to look somewhere
like Venezuela. Look at Argentina, which one hundred years ago
was one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Look
at North Korea where Gus Hall, who John Brennan voted
for president and said that's the future. Look at the
Soviet Union, and you have people like George Wills, who
are theoretically conservative, saying, yeah, let a socialist win in
New York City because we need people to see an example. Well,
is the last three bodies on top of the pile
of hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dead from communism,
all the suffering from Marxism and socialism is the last three.
Why because they're from New York. But if Georgia wants
to ruin a city with socialism, elect a socialist in
Baltimore's you know it is New York.
