I have to inform the land on the good work programme today can benefit a lady Gaga concert. Plain that during the programme going to want to know that is actually a real thing today, we talked about Ukraine and Moldova needs breaking news development during the show on trade and the mobility comments. What did he mean? Is this? The end of the road is serious. Look into that. Tell you the latest. What's going on in Syria and Ukraine, we dive into the policies of Bernie Sanders and how much will actually cost. It basically sounds like and made up number by the end, but these are actual estimates and you're actively public difficulties. They are we going to respect have collapse of better Robert friend. Bob frankly that, and The latest comes from pale is as well don't today, I'm talking
The only thing came right so mid. Mulvaney was the big story make Mulvaney yesterday that the media is going crazy over this he did press conference. He came out to talk about about the quid pro quo, which I we have to do. A montage of quid pro quo mentions because the use of quid pro quo in the media was approximately once every six months until about two weeks ago, and now seventy five times in our you not watch the news for five minutes and get past it without hearing quid pro quo said and now they're starting to do the thing we're like. Well, that's the quid that's the quo. We got it. We got you trying to be cute quid pro quo. We got it you're talking about a constantly
The idea here is Mulvaney admitted to the quid pro quo. Let's start here, this is him talking about politics and is there an influence of politics in foreign policy? This is a huge mistake for mobile I'll explain. Why, in a second here is a myth. Movin yesterday we were holding up money. Same time for what was the northern trying to come in countries where holding abated northern tribal countries so that they so that they would change their policies on immigration, but by the way in this speaks to disputes to important. I'm sorry, this speech to important point, because I heard this yesterday that can never member the gentleman who tests was Mckinney. The guy is that his name from the idea. That was just what? Yes, yes, and if you go and if you believe the news reports, because we have not seen any transcripts of this euro transcript messing with summons testimony more this morning, if you read the news reports and you believe, and what a Mckinney Say yesterday Mckinney said yesterday that he was really upset with its political influence in foreign policy. That was one of the reasons he was so upset about
so I have news for everybody go get over it all might. Did you guys here that? Did you hear what he just said get over it are you kidding me get over it politics in foreign policy that is absolutely unacceptable. They say get over. He admitted it. It further our nation as a terrible mistake, my mic mulvaney and a lot of you know the president's defenders going to tell you. You did a good job, their terrible mistake there. He who is actually honest and you're not supposed to be doing that in Washington. This is This is completely off limits. Apparently you're not had to go out there and tell people what actually occurs, because who would believe that there is any political interest when it comes to foreign policy. Sure we're talking about politicians. Do you think
maybe politics would be involved in it and sure they all run campaigns and talk about their foreign policy in the politics surrounding it, but when they get into the office they become pure. They become these clean, Crystal clear individuals who never know agendas and never do anything other than just serve. That's the reality of Washington guise. Of course, politics are involved when it comes to foreign policy with every single president. Since the beginning of time, this is what politicians do they do politics now, politics is not. Politics have a very bad reputation, largely because of politicians. A politics are indeed the
suit of what you believe. The right thing to do is that's what politics are when it comes to our government. They should not be a surprise, but he went on it and just stop there. He admitted to the crime MIC Mulvaney admitted to it in front of their country huge mistake here by mulvaney once again here he is talking about the virtue it broke, who? Oh I'm talking just a part of that is going to happen. Elections have consequences in foreign policy is going to change, they have almond ministration to the trumpet ministration and what you're, seeing now, I believe, is a group of mostly career polity. Career bureaucrats were singing. I dont, like president trumps politics, so I'm gonna participate in this, which today that there are taking on the hill. That's not the right click where we play the longer clipped, as you have the floor,
pulled, it's the one. With the quid pro quo. It was the two forty three clip I believe he pulled earlier this morning. We talk to a little behind the scenes baseball here. Let me have you have that he talked about having the quid pro quo, because that was an important part of this right like and it was part of the defence initially right. One of the first thing was out of the genome. This was in others, they weren't talking about this, and then it got to where there was no quid pro quo. There was no quid pro quo, meaning they didn't give they didn't.
Hold back the money for Ukraine in exchange for anything they held back the money because they thought it was. The right thing to do was an ex ante in exchange for the investigation of Biden and do we have the cleverest, explain it. Basically, we he said very mocha irregardless here clearly has this right is a quick profile. It is funding will not flow unless the investigation that uses at this juncture server happened is what will we do? We do that all the time with foreign policy are holding up money at the same time, for what was at the northern try there it is stopped. So we do this. All the time is a quid pro quo. We do this all the time. This is the admission of the crime to the media today. This is the whole case. He came out and he said nurse. They said no quid pro quo. John Carl, said: hey, isn't a pro quo, any said get we do it all the time now. This is more of a
problem with their initial defence right where they said there is no quid pro quo. I dont know why they said that especially considering what they knew was We know the call in the transcript of the call wear out great. Isn't it's not a specific quid pro quo, but he mentions the investigation very closely in its easy to read that if you want Ok, but here Mulvaney actually says it. Yes, we do this all the time we hold back money, all the time for outcomes of policy that we want from foreign countries and goes on to explain that gives multiple examples. Let me give you another example. This here's Joe Biden, talking and brown being in front of an audience about him. Engaging in quid pro quo. Listen! Ok, my we don't have that either. While this is a good start to the show.
We have to recognise that this is what happens when glens, not here, he said Lady Gaga right now and people are just did it did they? I think everyone's asleep everyone's asleep, the as we have the video of abiding from. We played this heap with Ukraine, a bunch of times where he says a blank. I've heard it before this audience is already heard the stuff it's in the special, but basically Biden, says yeah. I held back the billion dollars so that they would fire this prosecutor he's bragging about it on stage it's actually the founder. Commission, at least from from my perspective. It was when we kind of got introduced to this Ukraine story in real terms, because there were always rumours about bite and talking about in a web, his son Hunter and all the benefits that they got. There's a that's always good. Always been there. However, it was really escalated when we uncovered another blues Johnson men who initially uncovered it audio.
On video of Joe Biden saying he did it, he said I, with with hold a billion dollars from Ukraine, unless you fire this prosecutor, think about what's being said there, I will withhold money unless I get this outcome involving a prosecution in Ukraine. The accusation against Trump is that he was withholding money so that you can get an outcome were the prosecution in Ukraine. They are nearly identical stories, the difference, of course, being that bite in admitted to it a long time ago, it's a massive huge, maybe, impeachment story because MIC Mulvaney admitted it yesterday. I think this is sort of complicated for the average person and maybe isn't listening to talk radio everyday. Yet to put your self in the perspective of
a voter that isn't you because you're sitting here listening to this every day, you heard these stories. You know all these audio clips you ve been following this stuff, but you're not average. I hate to tell you this your way to nerdy for this society. Ok, you actually care, remember the person who said to Ben Franklin Yoda Rear. What would you have given us an he's like a Republican, a republic if you can keep it or your kind of trying to do that? That's not everybody else. The lot of you watching that you know a lot of carnations, so this isn't they dont. See these stores. They dont understand every single in every Orleans it out here We all know. We know Donald Trump enough he's been around he's been one of the most popular and well known. Figures american society for nearly forty years. This is not some. We know what Donald Trump like one of the reasons why he's in office it because we we like the idea,
that he's come around. It he's just say in the stuff right he's he's saying all the stuff that people accused politicians of some of the good, some of it bad he's coming out admitting it. He saying you know what yeah do this and yeah do that sort of things, people really about him and I just wish we could skip to the end of the story where we realise that it looked Donald Trump. Every interaction he has he's asking people about Ukraine and what Joe Biden did there. That's probably has probably true every time he gets into an He asked the person hey, you know. How would you know about? Will you be Reno Biden ukrainian driver? I was ever talk about it, hey Taco, Bell, delivery guide. You ever talk to What about you you over there? How about you, the guy who's fixin is electricity. Did he know anything about about bite and to say no, that's what trumped us can we give to the end of that story and admit that that's just what's happening here, it's what he cares about, so when what he cares about is what he talks about, and that's what people like about trust
It's hard, I think, for the average person. Look, it doesn't say say, wait. A minute is just as to. Why is this happening? Is this true Is it fair the way the media is treating him at the best of good that programme, AIDS and you're listen into the global program, if you like, with your hearing on this, show, make sure you check out pat great unless it's available, where ever you download your favorite broadcasts, so George, The deputy assistant secretary of state testified this week that he was worried that Hunter bite its position at the firm charisma would complicate efforts by: U S, diplomats, to convey to ukrainian officials the importance of avoiding conflict of interest. I wonder why that was approved. I share the vice president is ahead of Ukraine policy, and this is a giant ukrainian gas company. What could possibly be the conflict of winter
hiring his son who had no experience in natural gas or Ukraine. I can't think of anything, Could possibly go wrong there? This is something that biting campaigners course struggling with the vice president said he didn't have the bandwidth, to deal with the issue when it was brought up to him mild problem. And it's also in conflict with what Joe Biden is actually saying. This is Joe Biden from the debate talking about his dealings, it Hunter Biden, Andrews no no, I don't and because I knew were discussed with my son and then having to do with what was going on in Ukraine that that's a fact, never discussed it with them now. This is at odds of course, with the with the words of Hunter Biden, who said they did discuss it in past, once did not say that they talked about it. A lot did not any one July
detail, but basically what Abiden said was Hey Hunter. I hope you know you're doing on this thing. It was like. I do know that separate issue right. It's not just. The situation where Joe Biden does. Actually talk to Hunter bite and about berries. My when he said multiple times not only there, but also in the debate that he was that he'd never said anything to buy a hunter about this, which is such an inn? possible string. Any level of credibility they were on a plane together to Ukraine What the hell I'll see you talk about on that plane trip. There's nothing else to talk about. When you go to Ukraine, Chernobyl, maybe I mean, maybe I can't think of no one bizarrely, every single Democrats seems to find a reason to send their children to Ukraine, which is a place.
Every ukrainian parent tries to get them out of the half the The tree is littered with nuclear waste behind. The other half looks like a sequel to hostile. This is not a good place who do enjoy a vacation? Yet every single Denmark, politician was like Hake, There's a summer camp in Ukraine. I'm thinking would be a good place for you to go, live the best place about best thing about it. Fifty grand a month or more so for some reason this is vacation paradise for every Democrat it does make any sense, there's no way I mean there's no. Well, it's true. Can we get to that point? There's no way they didn't discuss this he's the head of his is a front men for policy. On Ukraine. His son has a job at a giant company in Ukraine Hunter. Says they talked about it once that can possibly be true. They talked about
a thousand times they talked about the political ramifications of it. They talked about what was actually happening. They probably talked about. You know what this guy is going after Breeze MA, I'm not one investigation, but multiple investigations that guy he happens to be a guy, that we don't really trust that much anyway. So maybe I'll put lots and lots of pressure, make sure he's not gonna, be our anymore you're telling me that didn't come up. I just dont believe it so far. There's no evidence of that conversation but just saying. As a human being, I don't believe that add and sun when on a nine thousand our plane trip to Ukraine and what we're doing. There never came up, it's just impossible. Is it not. Are we not human beings and know how human beings interact? We know that happened, but we don't have concrete evidence. We don't have the transcript of that conversation But it seems very, very applause
well that that occurred and let's go on be beyond that, not only Is he saying he didn't ask a hunter about it? and hunter is saying we talked about it once and Joe Biden. She was hey. You know. I hope you get this. I hope you know what you're doing he is talking to a man who has had basically a series of personal problems that would make Sean pen embarrassed. This is I Hunter Biden who I am tries really hard to avoid these things, but there are real people with the problems that have real differ. Multi dealing with life and hundreds It is one of these people he's had all sorts of drug problems he's head drug infused car acts, and soon rental cars. He left a until car at hurts with white powder on the dashboard. This is now minor mistake. This is happening while he's at bereavement and somehow
recent, was like you know who needs to come here. Do you know who needs to come here with with for fifty thousand dollars. Mother more and be a board member. Our company in a country has never been too with a product he's never dealt with that guy, the white powder on the dashboard guy, that's the guy. This is blatantly insane at it should whose Joe Biden Judgment that, if this story is true, it might actually Individual personal failings that have gone on inheritance, like that we know of judgment is to go to his son, who is Ben. I have a list of twenty eight individual personal failings that in hunter bite in life that we know of included when he was buying crack under a bridge.
Including what he took a cigarette least one another drug for my random. I believe she called him north african person in a parking lot. Vat person. Is the person Joe what you said? I hope you know what you're doing he doesn't know. What he's doing is it not clear that this person does not know what they're doing. This person has tried to manage its life, unsuccessfully at every single turn. The idea that you just turn over this random responsibility to not only protect your dad's political future, but also to two too to avoid future allegations. Of corruption and also just to be able to get up and tie your shoes everyday. None of these things Hunter has been able to be trusted within his life, and I dont say that as a making fun of him, it's just hee hee
No, it's hard for me running a mile. You know it's hard for Hunter waking up and not going into rehab. That's life, that's how difficult it is he wanted to. We have, I believe, eight times, eight times and dad's question, as I hope you know what you're doing he doesn't know. What he's doing. Maybe we get into this. I gotta give it a little bit of detail here on Hunter bite. It you need to hear the at the events that led up to him. Getting this job. Think about offering a job to this person are welcome back. It's us do it for Glenn of Glinda Programme. I kid you not.
He went to a lady, Gaga concert and that's why he's not here, I'm not making that up. Usually I make things up when GLONASS out. May I lie to you and I tell you all sorts of crazy reasons he's not here this time. It's true he's at a lady Gaga concert full stop. What did you do know now, speaking of really irrational personal choices, let's go into hunter bite. It hundred bite, and this is the guy hired for fifty thousand dollars a month. This is the guy trusted in these in these high level dealing. Billions of dollars on the line in China. This is his history. When he was in college, I started using cocaine. Thou luck! We were all in college and use cocaine. I'm sure this is certainly a long time ago. By the way I was in college or use cocaine, so I'm perfectly clear from this one he was encouraging use cocaine. It's one of those things
Yes, you can excuse right, like in all seriousness, it's not something that I know a lot of people who in it, but we can. I can think of a couple that I do know who have done that, and it was a long time ago and in college and everybody tries crazy things in college. Apparently. Now he got a gun at least cigarette crack. It was raised with crack in college now. Look that probably happens to a lot of people to you. Then I have a regular cigarette, at least with a little crack. It happens. I think you should try to make crack into a cigarette. Was this one? Actually, he got crack didn't know what to do with it decided to smoke it in a cigarette and didn't really get high. I believe was as telling two thousand one he's plastered on a train. Two thousand three. He finally realises I've had this problem and I'm not gonna drink for thirty days,
guy and he does not drink for thirty days impressive and then you drink Sunday, thirty one and they starts over getting those thirty days does that's a skull gets passed his goal and then on thirty one day: thirty, when he does it again- and he says he repeats this over and over and over again he goes thirty days I gotta get through thirty days. He gets a thirty eight and then on day thirty one. He blows it. It's like me with a diet September, two thousand three. He goes into rehab for the first time later on. He goes into alcoholics anonymous. Then he has a pretty good stretch about seven years where he is reportedly sober, and these are all his telling, sir. I'm not done my unearthing any any incidents in two thousand ten. He has a relapse. Has three bloody marries between two thousand ten and two thousand eleven? He drinks heavily for several months. Two thousand Levin goes back to rehash nuts. We have two or three, and specifically, I guess it's also a kind of rehab, two thousand thirteen. He gets the shingles
I don't want you to think about the shingles. They really grosses me out, but the point is he gets the shingles. He gets pain killers and that sends in back into a problem in May two thousand. Thirteen he stops at a bar, and this is where he gets the least cigarettes from the north african which who hasn't had that happened to him This is all before he started up a reason. Why so I mean look that you can't even count. That's tough, two thousand thirteen He has cocaine in his system and its found by the military. Now, that's a problem,
We'll see this, he says it's because he had a bat lay cigarette from the north African. So it's the north Africans fault. We can all blame the north Africans on that test. Then he goes to rehab again this time in Tijuana because who wouldn't go to do you want to get your rehab, but this is rehab where they're using some illegal substance here in the United States, which, like some controversial, probably not scientific rehab, where he take some weird herb in Tijuana it's like an outlook Andy Kaufman when he was trying to get his cancer cured. That's that's! Basically what we have here, then he leaves that re. Having goes, where else, would you go to react? In Arizona which is this is now what number four or five run as far as we have goes around two thousand fifteen. This is when he's coming home from a devastating funeral he's going through couples therapy by the way he has now at Murray's MA.
Learning all this money, fifty thousand dollars a month, so they hired him with all the stuff I've. Given you so far, now is there, and this stuff is happening. He goes to couples therapy they're talking about how terrible it is. If you drink one more time you got to move out, he leaves couples therapy and ghosts and drinks a bottle of vodka. Then he has to move out in twenty fifteen. One of his relapse has is actually with the guy from Purisima he's on his boat doing shots. His relapse is with the reason why they continue to employ him through this two thousand and sixteen he become
a shot in he's. Very depressed was, but the whole situation with his brother has gone on. His relationships are breaking up and he becomes almost a shut in and he he says himself. I only leave for vodka at this point February, two thousand and sixteen he's back in rehab what we had six that six now six we have since in June two thousand. Sixteen he goes to Monte Carlo, because what a great place for you to visit, if you happen to be in rehab six times, why not go to Monte Carlo? I believe this visit to was another conference related to bereavement and he does what we all do when it's time to go
Body he had cocaine with a guy and about in the bathroom. Who is a stranger, because what better decision making capability can you have then to snort something off of a bathroom, a bathroom sink counter from a stranger? Why not put some white powder up your nose from some guy? You just met in a bathroom, I mean just forget the cocaine. I dont want to sniff that close to anything in the bathroom to terrible idea way so info. Two thousand sixteen he's on his way to rehab again, which I think would be number seven. Suddenly them.
And while he was there, he loses his wallet now. This, of course, has happened every, but everyone lost their wallet while he left his on the plane. That's tough right! You ve lost! If you left her walk on the plane, what you gonna do. Luckily he also happen to have a credit card in his pocket, which is what everyone does when they have a wallet which is keep one credit card in your in your pocket, but leave your wallet somewhere else. This is not something I ever heard occur, but I've never smoked crack with the north African either. Now he lost his wallet but then still finds a way to buy track, which can I not that familiar with the financial arrangements with your everyday crack dealer, but I was soon that's a little odd, but maybe he was taking cash advances with a credit card. I don't know with over the next week. He goes back advice crack as he says a few more times. Then he gets in a fight at a bar this by what also getting fifty thousand dollars a month
from worries me throughout this entire period. He goes and he has got some guy. I wish I had a name for me. It's like six sloppy Joe was his name or something rough it. Something like. I would, if I remember thinking it reminded me of like, like a wrapper name like the notorious behave jeers on me, it was like some guy thinking actually may have been a wrapper, a local wrapper and he rescued him because he felt bad for Hunter Biden. Some local wrapper and he gets a money to get around a car hundred takes the rental car is, of course, on drugs, while he's driving it in crashes, it hurts, says: hey, I guess you know we have a deal worse was to pick people up
have accidents, so they bring a new car out to him, which he promptly, I believe crashes again, but certainly returns to hurts with drugs left on the counter. The of the council he's got white powder in the hurts car along with his eyes, his government identification still left in the car after he leave The reason you got in the second accident accident because he believes he hallucinated and owl- I'm not making any of this up. Finally, he has to get divorced and he goes immediately after the divorce, because there's press reports that he had problems with strip clubs. He says I've never been to a Strip club and I'm in many many years. But what does he do when he sees the reports? He goes immediately to a Strip club by his own admission. This is not include any of your personal life sort of stuff that went on with his relationship where he was married, then he got to vote
then he started dating the widow of his brother and then he met a south african woman and a week later married her, like a couple of months ago, from right now, that's this history were talking about. This guy was trusted with these decisions by a man who wants to be president of the United States. This is the best of the planned back programme. Hey.

We ve been looking at some of the democratic proposals we have. We say the debate this week and there's a little bit of a competition. Go back and forth as to how how much government is going to grow, how many of these new policies are going to go into effect and how much is going to cost us? Canada famous thing going back with wood, with Elizabeth worn, who will not admit that she's raising taxes on middle class people, which is so weird and awkward and strange. She is right,
line or something that you don't want to give a commercial to Republicans and she so bad at avoiding and being invasive that she's wines of repeating yourself over and over again without dear and headlights, look that she gets. And this is the type of thing that Donald Trump is going to expose in a dramatic way in a debate of she actually becomes a nominee, but let's get will cross that bridge when we get to it. Let's talk for a minute about Bernie Sanders and his proposal and Brian retailers with us he's a senior fellow admit, Manhattan Institute and this the guy who Brian you know, you're, not some crazy person. Here your person that you're, not some partisan, conservative you're. Looking at these things in your saying, what are the costs to the extent that even vocs has printed your analysis on many of these policies?
I feel tat, I decided to add up the cost of everything Bernie Sanders of offering which, by the way, is difficult, because every time you finish, he proposes something new, to the extent that it was possible, I relied on Only those numbers I relied on the congressional budget off I relied on the existing information. I wasn't you know trying to to do some right wing agenda. Could the number, as I said it for all proposals, was looked first, look for birdies Datum Anna bereaved. That is not available at look for the congressional Budget Office, and only then, if there is no score, I will bear park my own score for a proposal, but then a walk. The reader through
I calculated it so that they could they could put in their own score if they want, and it's very detailed you break down here between the article make sure that everybody can read the full detail, but let's start from the bottom and will build to the actual total cost year, because it is it's almost to the point where you think it's a made up number we're almost there here we go starting with public school teacher salaries. That's an easy low cost expense. How much is that going to cost us over the next decade? Sanders wants to spend four hundred billion dollars over ten years, ensuring that all public school teachers, at least sixty thousand dollars a year from day one mocha aren't that's easy and four hundred billion is almost nothing these days, how about more education spending? This is from Katy Twelve, that eight hundred billion dollars general expenses across the board. Did he make it he Eddie and any specificity as to what he spending this on a lot of. It would be
one low income, Grand falada- that would be special education It would be typical government special interest handouts for teachers who who implement policies the Bernie Sanders wave. Now we know eventually we're going to get to infrastructure week. We Oh it's around the corner at any time burn he's got a nice big infrastructure we going on if he becomes president, how much of that cost us one trillion dollars an hour at dollar. Two point: two trillion: this is nothing not a big deal at all. Ok, next up, nothing! It's only the call for the report. Tax cuts that, with both the world, oh yeah, that's right. They did that it has. Well then, yet. I have not been keeping track of new to a trillion with what was more money than than than you could imagine two years now. Let's not me, I'm a theory that tat the tax cuts and net neutrality that were both can end the world cancel each other out. That's why we're still alive just a theory that ok
paid family leave another big popular per also people really seem to like it. How much does it cost one point? Six trillion dollar zone up! That's now, three point: eight trillion. If I'm keeping this scorecard correctly expire, and the burning Sanders Housing proposal cause it's pretty freakin expensive is two point: five trillion dollars, it pretty vague, are burnt than the two point. Five trillion dollars comes from fainter through self, but it is a way to basically daring he low income housing for all. He doesn't really specify that much how you do it other than they would be huge grants the states to think the build, build, more houses and guarantee housing for all paid for by you, the taxpayer, not I I nobody's gonna bunch of houses, but the two points
it truly is actually coming from Bernie himself he's not paying out of his own pocket. For this, of course, haven't notifying, are gonna, make sure, because I knew Bernie had some cash. I do not know yet two point: five trillion arts an hour after four point, one Five point: one six point: three: a trillion dollars. I what's that, what's a total, but with a total budget be for four of you know the United States over this period. Do we know what a baseline or over the next ten years, the federal governed It's gonna spend sixty trillion. Ok, so enlargement and additional seven's were already up over ten percent. Now
step. We have the expansion of social security. Yes, social security is going bankrupt and Sanders what is put more money so that it can go bankrupt faster, that higher benefit a higher benefit at the bottom, led to redistribute even more money upward to wealthy seniors than the current system already does, and that costs are much. That is about one point really what we truly unbelievable case or a one point, eight trillion and we haven't started getting into the big stuff. Yet this is. We are still at the bottom of this budget offer Bernie Sanders word about eight trillion, which used to be an impossible about a muddy, and now it's a rolling air, amazing. Ok, so now Bernie wants to make sure that people will have a
language. This is a big problem for Bernie. He wants to make sure people are making fifteen dollars. Asia was at risk if education, odorous goodbye collar dedicate all case our college frequent if we use we must frigid, did skip that when free college education What's up three trillion dollars a to pay off everybody student alone in Amerika, and guarantee that every public colleges free moving forward, of course be private colleges would not be free and they would be completely hammered by this policy, because everyone would stay impede. The free public colleges in the private schools would be decimated. That's about three trillion three cents. I just skipped three trillion dollars. Please forgive me, but it was just now. I didn't see it sitting over there there's a big pilot and you realize what it was an extra three trillion over in the corner. Where now have to in point one trillion dollars now and I will they too have one minor thing, but this free college thing that I don't hear tossed around that often
value of college to an individual goes down when everyone's going right like there's not, no longer separating yourself for high level jobs. If every single person is going for free, then it comes back to Eric based system, which we were so used to have any way, but you just wasted multiple trillions of dollars, figuring it all out, for I can go from Standard K12 the Standard K, sixteen and Stan academic standard we're gonna, be lower it or because schools are gonna, want all these new people flunking. I would especially if they had little coffin their government money, so I mean there's gonna, lower standards of all have our standard caterer. Sixteen and you'll have to find different ways to signal to an employer that you What you're doing aren't now to get to the fifteen dollars an hour full benefits. Everybody out there that I've heard that this may cause up to something like fifty percent of all people to be employed by the government, which would be
an interesting proposal? How much does it cost, though it has to be massive it? This is one where I had to walk the reader through my own asked of it, because nobody has really caught that it up by my act with guaranteeing everybody who wants one a fifteen dollars. Our job was full benefits would cause thirty trillion dollars over the fact that
We have under estimate that's a lot of money. How wise it an underestimate, because the number that we used are based on a fifty six thousand dollar per person, cost that is a liberal thinking, came up with that was based on only paying eleven dollars of eighty three cents per hour. Body wants to pay fifteen. We allow assume that only half year you're, not just gonna, get the unemployed join this program right, you're gonna get everybody who is currently making less than fifteen dollars, and I was gonna want in yet I only assume half of the people who would get a raise actually quit their job and go into this. While we do, I account for recession or anything else like that were you're gonna get even higher enrollment thought I mean you, you could actually they could be double the three trillion if everybody who would actually get away from this and would take advantage of the fact that you can't be
This is a new job, but you can't be fired from the men are wholly that you are in that you get fifteen bucks an hour at which we have joined would actually be about sixty trillion dollars. So I put on the side and extra thirty trillion that may be in cost, because everything- and I am glad you wrap it up because it shows how detailed you are here. This is not your training fleet, these numbers you're actually undercutting them by a lot, and I will say the quality of work you're getting out of a person that you're paying fifteen dollars an hour for that cannot be fired, no matter how bad they aren't the job. It's not gonna, be a high quality work well and think of the effect on the economy in terms of productivity, ordered a hand. People quit their private sector, jobs to move into government make work, jobs that were created just to keep them busy in that they can't be fired from and we're gonna put by my estimate. Forty five million workers into these make work community service jobs. Think about that
it would have the productivity caught me. You're gonna have to have an immediate recession. Incredible roughly forty one point, two trillion and least now we have the biggest challenge that we fight as it as a planet, a glow. A warming climate change, obviously burn. You gonna dish a bunch of cash that how much is going for have promised sixteen point three trillion dollars over ten years to save the planet. I think its handling of the green new deal in Congress I mean: that's what he's admitting to. We all know that he's going to spend more than everything he's admitting to, because every government, official Republican and Democrat does that up to now. Fifty seven point: five trillion dollars. How much is the entire budget projected to beef annex ten years ago, brain thickly trillion So, basically, now doubling the entire budget.
And you may notice. I have not mentioned one more thing, which is Medicare for all Medicare for all It's not Medicare for all who want it. It's not. A public option is eliminating private insurance in giving free healthcare to every single person, quoting quote free healthcare to every single person over a ten year period. What's the cost of that, if you gave it ask Bernie Sanders, he now concedes up to forty trillion dollars. Over ten years, Forty trillion dollars over ten years so now we are at you and give the big final number here. Environmental cost of the Santer is agenda, using mostly his own numbers is ninety seven point: five trillion dollars over ten years. We are about to come come to cross the one hundred trillion dollar barrier for just new proposals. Remember this is in excess of the sick. Petroleum were already planning on spending, which is always underestimated. We're gonna takes.
Sixty trillion add on another ninety seven point: five trillion plus I would do your number to the high side is going to be more accurate with jobs would have happened another. Thirty trillion dollars were at a hundred and twenty twenty five too, in dollars hundred twenty seven trillion dollars. Brian, how on until we have to teach Amerika what the word quadrillion means or will we had met director? There's an old joke that, but by the time we get to the EU, a cock is his body? Is gonna be spending a hundred percent gdp at the rate is going ahead. I'm sure you'll piled up a hundred trillion soon every time. I would finish this: Damn article we would be something new. What I would have to redo my number Rhine region from the Manhattan Institute. We weren't sweet this whole article out. You can see all the details. It is absolutely fascinating to go through this gets waiting. I mean I wish we had more timely because we are going through the numbers comparing it to other countries. He says he's a european socialist he's. Far exceeding anything, that's happening in Europe is far.
Then Ngos read all about this. In Brian riddles, great article he's at Brian understood, our I e de l on Twitter, but I think programme, This is the best of background, like listening to this path cast if you're not a subscriber, become one now, and I too, but while you're there do us a favour and rate the shell, but sometimes life gets in the way of what actually happening. I believe it was the philosopher, Ferris Buehler, who said life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. It's true
you know what Ferris said, and it is one of those things that I think affects all of us. We get in the middle of these huge news stories, huge new cycles and we sometimes miss massive things, things that we should be all either celebrating or or be horrified by, things that define an era, things that people look back on later on and hey, remember when that happened. You know the just the most. Massive events. I am don't always seem so massive, you know when something that you depend on collapses in horror- and you know it in the middle of a new cycle like this, you can lose something, and I think one of when these things happen. We need to focus on a little bit and understand the historical context, and if you can think about like em, we now look back at New coke color.
Sing right. They bring a new coke. Oh my gosh, the horror show then Classical comes back. They finally costs are calling a coke too for some reason, which is a really weird moment, and then they get rid of it. Crystal Pepsi comes out, right it's big thing, millions of dollars of advertising, then it just gone one day. Tens of thousands of employees of Ben against went to work to serve people Monte, Cristo sandwiches and the doors were locked,
the company had gone bankrupt and basically every Ben against closed unexpectedly from one day to the next just gone. Now you might think not bet against my happy that big historically but died is responsible for much of my weight gain from back. In those days. The Monte Cristo was a devastating sandwich. Emily get you here, you ve got to have turkey two types of cheese, the three pieces of bread so getting on a big MAC setup, and then all that you're taken and you're gonna dip in batter. Then you get a part that puppy into the deep prior that's gonna come out of a deep prior sprinkle, the top of it with powdered sugar and then We're gonna give you on the side, because that's not enough, I give you an aside a little bit of raspberry jam dunk. That thing in I mean that was like. Oh, I was like a month of constant thanksgivings in one meal, somehow that place closed in America, which it must be really crappy businessmen, I
ever growing up, and I lived a very difficult life, difficult childhood in suburban Connecticut and I remember, though, the one place of paradise down the highway, which I thought was paradise. You know now and I drive through it- it's just EAST Haven, Connecticut but any staving Connecticut. They had right next to each other, a toys or us and a place called child world. These were competing toy stores right next to each other toys there then child world and child world was this really cool to employ your head, like a panda as its as its basket, and I doing with a name a child's world, but you see, I was probably Jeffrey Epstein. I dont know who it was looking back at its restricting, but it was. The next towards Russia. Then, one day it wasn't one day
It was just toys or us, and child world had closed, remove devastating moment of my childhood, and I passed that devastation of capitalism to my son and daughter this past year, when every toys arrests closed was brutal, historic and that's the way we need to look at the utter spectacular, collapse of better Orourke. I want to pay a think of how significant this is. This is not something you back in a who's that guy. This is cataclysmic. Destruction of one's own career in front of our very eyes we ve
all but able to witness it to soak it in over the past year, and I could tell you it's particularly tasty in Texas, oh, it's delicious here in Texas, its Monte Cristo at Ben against Delicious or in Texas, better O Rourke, this candidate that date, king even remember the time he was surrounded by constant fawning media coverage. This was the golden child. This is the guy who am I over. What was it vanity? Fair said. I was the chosen one I was there I was I was born. For this about himself VAT Robert Francis overwork that Bob Franco work is now has an just dropped to the levels
we're it's almost impossible to be embarrassed further. He launched into this campaign. People dont, remember this. In second place behind bite and who wasn't in the race. Yet he was right there, fifteen percent him end. Sanders were right there at the top, and now he might not even make the next debate fact I don't think he's going to unless things changed dramatically he's not the name to do that. So far, he's show no ability to be able to change his own fortunes. Farragos was a company that day said they invented this blood testing, this blood tests that could detect nor these dozens of diseases at the same time in one drop of blood, was massive development, a medical technology, huge people, statesmen, even general matters was on the board of this company. It was huge, everybody believed they had this technology, it want to a nine billion dollar cut corporation and then and said: oh wait a minute. Can we see
technology and action? because you had early showed us that it works yet and so blowers inside the company said yeah. This doesn't actually work were just setting the test out to another company bottom line. Is there now bankrupt in their charges all over the place? They never even had the ability to do that just a nine billion dollar company down the drain. I don't even think that approaches what has happened with better work campaign, this guy is flailing about so pathetically right now and for some reason he continues to campaign. Why does he do this to himself? Why does he do this to his family? Why does he do this to? America It's almost impossible to understand
it's almost as possible to understand as to why his name is better and not just Robert? We go in to some of the specifics and in the way, he's handling this utter historic cat. A cool is attack on his ability to win this campaign. His campaign is, I mean it is toast toast, but he continues to try with every increasing per cent of desperation. He becomes. More and more entertaining the blaze radio network on demand,
