BAT WITH THE ANGLE. AT DECODING THE LEFT, THAT IS THE FOCUS OF TONIGHT’S ANGLE. 71 YEARS AGO, GEORGE OH, WELL, WROTE ABOUT THE MANIPULATION OF LANGUAGE AND POLITICS. WENT ON TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE PRESENT POLITICAL CHAOS IS CONNECTED WITH THE DECAY OF LANGUAGE. POLITICAL LANGUAGE IS DESIGNED TO MAKE LIFE SOUND TRUTHFUL AND MURDER RESPECTABLE AND TO GIVE AN APPEARANCE OF SOLIDITY TO MERE WINS. AT THE TIME, GEORGE ORWELL WAS WRITING ABOUT THE RISE OF COMMUNISM IN FAR LEFT THOUGHT. TODAY WITH THE RISE OF THE HARD LEFT IN AMERICA, WE SHOULD KEEP ORWELL’S WARNINGS IN MIND AND LEARN TO SPOT LIES THAT ARE MADE TO SOUND TRUTHFUL DURING THIS PIVOTAL TIME. NOW, LUCKY FOR YOU, WE ARE HERE AND WE ARE GOING TO HELP DECODE AND TRANSLATE THE LANGUAGE OF THE DEMOCRATS AND THEIR MEDIA ALLIES THIS CAMPAIGN SEASON. FIRST UP, WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT VIRUS STRATEGY. >> THEY NEED LEADERSHIP, THEY NEED A PLAN. >> I WISH WE HAD A NATIONAL PLAN. >> EVERYONE IS CONFUSED. THIS IS THE TIME WE SHOULD BE TALKING TO ONE VERY CLEAR, VERY CONSISTENT VOICE. >> WEARS THE NATIONAL STRATEGY, WHERE’S THE NATIONAL LEADERSHIP? IT DOESN’T EXIST. >> Laura: OKAY, TRANSLATION. WHEN THEY SAY NATIONAL STRATEGY, THEY MEAN NATIONAL LOCKDOWN. IT IS ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THAT THEY WANT TO SHUT DOWN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY UNTIL THE VIRUS EITHER MAGICALLY DISAPPEARS ON ITS OWN OR UNTIL THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE STATE VACCINE, WHICH EVEN DR. FAUCI HAS TO SAY MAY NEVER COME. AND THINK ABOUT CUOMO FOR A MOMENT. WITH HIS DEADLY COVID RECORD, HE SHOULD BE RUN OUT OF POLITICS FOREVER, NOT BE HELD UP AS SOME KIND OF ANTI-TRUMP SUPERHERO. AND HERE IS YOUR NIGHTLY REMINDER, NEW YORK DEATHS ACCOUNT FOR NEARLY A QUARTER OF ALL DEATHS IN THE UNITED STATES. THEY HAVE HAD NEARLY 13 TIMES MORE DEATHS PER 100,000 THAN TEXAS AND SEVEN AND A HALF TIMES MORE THAN FLORIDA. NOW RECALL ALSO THAT CALIFORNIA, SPEAKING OF STRATEGY, THEY INSTITUTED A STRICT LOCKDOWN AND THEY STILL HAVE RISING INFECTIONS. THAT OBVIOUSLY DIDN’T WORK. IT PROLONGED THE INEVITABLE, SO THE NATIONAL LEADERSHIP THEY ARE CRAVING FOR HAS TO BE JUST ANOTHER LOCKDOWN. AT THIS TIME IN NATIONAL LOCKDOWN. MATT, NO EXCEPTIONS. AND BIDEN CAN’T ADMIT THIS. OF COURSE HE CAN’T IN THE MEDIA IS NOT GOING TO PRESS HIM ON IT, CERTAINLY NOT FOR ANY SPECIFICS OF HIS SOLUTION BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT’S NOT POPULAR. BUT MOVING ON, DECODING THE DEMOCRATS ON RACE. >> AMERICANS ARE IN THE STREETS DEMANDING RACIAL JUSTICE. >> I THINK THAT THE RIGHT THING TO DO FOR OUR COUNTRY MOVING FORWARD IS TO GUARANTEE HEALTH CARE, PAY A LIVING WAGE, SUPPORT LABOR RIGHTS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE DOING THAT WITH THE LENS OF RACIAL AND SOCIAL JUSTICE. >> NOW IS THE TIME FOR RACIAL JUSTICE. >> EMPOWERING GROUPS THAT PRETEND TO CARE ABOUT MINORITIES JUST END UP PROFITING THEMSELVES BY STOKING RACIAL ANIMOSITY? UNDER A BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, DECISIONS WILL BE MADE LARGELY BASED ON RATE, NOT ON MERIT OR HARD WORK OR ACHIEVEMENT. THOSE WORDS THEMSELVES COME FROM WHITE PRIVILEGE, THEY ARE TELLING US NOW. GET READY FOR MASSIVE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST I DON’T KNOW, MORE THAN 100 MILLION AMERICANS. SPECIAL PRIVILEGES, ACCOMMODATIONS AND MONEY ARE DOLED OUT TO CERTAIN POLITICALLY PREFERRED GROUPS. AND ON FOREIGN POLICY, DEMOCRATS SAY THEY ARE GOING TO NEED TO REBUILD ALL OF OUR INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS. SPEAK OF THE CHALLENGE FOLLOWING THIS DISASTROUS WILL NOT JUST BE TO RESTORE OUR CREDIT MELODY AND REPUTATION. IT WILL BE AN ACTIVE FORWARD-LOOKING FOREIGN POLICY FOR THE WORLD AS WE FIND IT TODAY. >> Laura: TRANSLATION: GET READY FOR ANOTHER APOLOGY TOUR. BIDEN IS GOING TO GO AROUND THE WORLD BEGGING AMERICA’S PARDON. AFTER ALL, HAVING A PRESIDENT WHO ACTUALLY FOUGHT FOR AND FIGHTS FOR AMERICAN WORKERS AND IS TOUGH ON TRADE IS NOT GIVING AWAY THOSE SCORE LIKE OBAMA DID. YOU THINK THE EUROPEANS LIKE THAT? THAT IS WHY EUROPE WOULD PROBABLY LOVE A BIDEN PRESIDENCY, BECAUSE THEY KNOW HE’LL DO PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING EUROPE WANTS. AND AS FAR AS CHINA IS CONCERNED, REMEMBER BIDEN SAID THEY WEREN’T EVEN A THREAD. EXPECT THE DISMANTLING OF ALL TARIFFS, HUGE CONCESSIONS BY THE UNITED STATES AND THE CONTINUED OUTSOURCING OF AMERICAN JOBS. WHAT ABOUT HEALTH CARE? IT’S STILL THE OLD "IF YOU LIKE YOUR PLAN, YOU CAN KEEP IT." >> HEALTH CARE IS A GUARANTEED HUMAN RIGHT, BUT TAKING AWAY THE RIGHT TO HAVE A PRIVATE PLAN IF YOU WANT A PRIVATE PLAN, I DISAGREE WITH. >> Laura: HERE’S A MEMBER OF BIDEN’S OWN UNITY HEALTH CARE TASK FORCE TALKING ABOUT HOW SHE AND THE PROGRESSIVES WERE ABLE TO MOVE BIDEN TO THE LEFT. >> WE DID A LOT OF GOOD WORK TOGETHER TO REALLY PUSH THE VICE PRESIDENT HEALTH CARE PLATFORM MUCH FURTHER THAN IT’S BEEN BEFORE, TO TAKE ELEMENTS OF MEDICARE FOR ALL AND PUT IT INTO THE PLATFORM. >> Laura: INTO THE PLATFORM. OF COURSE, THEY MEAN GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE. THEY’VE ALREADY EMBRACED FREE HEALTH CARE FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, AND I THINK TO REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT’S IN STORE FOR US, LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THIS CHILLING ACCOUNT FROM "THE GUARDIAN" NEWSPAPER TODAY. IT WAS WRITTEN BY A WOMAN WITH LATE STAGE CANCER BETTER DELAYED TREATMENT FROM THE NATIONAL HEALTH CARE SERVICE. THE OPERATION FINALLY TOOK PLACE ON THE 27TH OF FEBRUARY, ALMOST FIVE MONTHS AFTER THE CANCER HAD RECURRED. ONCE HE HAD TAKEN A LOOK INSIDE, MY SURGEON CLOSED MAY BEGIN WITH A HEAVY HEART. IT WAS NOW IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE ALL THE CANCEROUS TISSUE. THEY GOT THERE TOO LATE. THE HEARTBREAK. ON TAXES, THEY ARE SELLING THE SAME STALE LINES. >> I THINK WE SHOULD RAISE TAXES ON THE WEALTHY. >> PASS A WEALTH TAX AND PROTECT OUR DEMOCRACY. >> PATEL MILLIONS OF WOULD-BE ENTREPRENEURS GET OUT FROM UNDER THEIR DEBT AFTER THEY START BUSINESSES, AND IT’S TIME CORPORATE AMERICA PAID THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES. >> Laura: FAIR SHARE? TRANSLATION: IT’S BACK TO THE FAILED POLICIES OF THE ’70s WHERE THE TOP RATES ARE GOING TO BE 70%. IT’S NOT JUST GOING TO BE FOR CORPORATIONS. OF COURSE THE TAX RATE THAT HIGH JUST HURTS WORKING MEN AND WOMEN WOMEN. WALL STREET BANKERS AND LOBBYISTS CAN ALWAYS FIND WAYS AROUND PAYING THESE ABSORBENT RATES BUT THAT IS THEIR PLAN, TO PUNISH EVERYONE WHO WORKS FOR A LIVING, THEN DOLE OUT THE MONEY THEY HAVE TWO PROGRAMS LIKE, I DON’T KNOW, LET’S GO BACK TO MIDNIGHT BASKETBALL. THE TAX POLICY CENTER ESTIMATED THAT JOE BIDEN’S AGENDA WOULD RAISE TAXES BY $4 TRILLION OVER THE NEXT DECADE. MORE THAN TWICE AS BIG A TAX RAISE AS PROPOSED BY HILLARY CLINTON IN 2016. AND SPEAKING OF FAIRNESS, THE RICH ALREADY PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE. CHECK THIS OUT, THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD IN THE TOP 1% RETAINS ALMOST 18 TIMES IN TRANSFER PAYMENTS AS THE BOTTOM FIT, BUT PAYS MORE THAN 219 TIMES AS MUCH IN TAXES. AS WE MOVE THROUGH THIS CAMPAIGN SEASON, I’M GOING TO BE DOING MORE DECODING FOR YOU BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT, THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE IN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY WHO REALLY ARE SAYING WHAT THEY MEAN. >> THEY ARE CRITICIZING, WHY USE THE WORD DEFINED, WHY USE THE WORD DEFINED? THIS IS THE WORD THAT IS COMING FROM THE STREETS. >> THIS IS ABOUT TRUE REPARATIONS. THEY HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY IN SOCIETY BUT THEY NEEDN’T PLAY A ROLE IN EVERY PARTISAN SOCIETY. >> WE MUST BEGIN THE WORK OF DISMANTLING THE WHOLE SYSTEM OF OPPRESSION WHEREVER WE FIND IT. >> Laura: THERE IS NO TRANSLATION NEEDED HERE. THEY’RE ACTUALLY TELLING THE TRUTH. THEY MEAN IT WHEN THEY SAY IT. THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE PLANNING, THEY ARE ALREADY DOING IT IN PLACES LIKE MINNEAPOLIS AND L.A. APPEARED ON MOST BIG ISSUES IN THE LAST YEAR, THE SQUAD HAS BEEN THE DEMOCRATIC THOUGHT LEADER. FROM CLIMATE CHANGE TO DEFUNDING THE POLICE TO CLIMATE CHANGE, AND IT WILL ALL CONTINUE TO BE KEY INFLUENCERS IN A BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, YOU BET. AND IF YOU THINK BIDEN IS GOING TO STOP THEM, YOU ARE EITHER NAIVE OR HAVEN’T BEEN PAYING ANY ATTENTION. BIDEN WILL BE NOTHING MORE THAN AN OVAL OFFICE BOBBLEHEAD NODDING ALONG WITH WHATEVER FAR LEFTISTS APPEAR BEFORE HIM AT ANY GIVEN TIME. HE IS NO LONGER THE MODERATE OF YOUR. HE IS MOVED SO FAR LEFT TO SATIATE THE MOB LED TO CONTINUE DOING SO, OR ELSE THEY’RE GOING TO SURROUND HIS HOUSE AND THEN BURN THINGS AROUND. AND DO YOU THINK HE’S GOING TO CALL OUT THE NATIONAL GUARD TO PROTECT MONUMENTS OR EVEN THE WHITE HOUSE? NO WAY. IT WILL GET HIM OUT THROUGH THE TUNNEL. I’M CONFIDENT, DESPITE ALL OF THIS, DESPITE ALL THE DECODING WERE GOING TO HAVE TO DO THAT, FALL, MANY MORE AMERICANS WILL UNDERSTAND THE ORWELLIAN CHASM THAT YOU’RE GOING TO GET THROWN INTO UNDER A BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. WOULDN’T YOU RATHER BE DECODING
