Are They Really This Dumb?

0:00Oh baby, well, it's a good and happy Thursday, it's whole day. It is the seventh of October 2026 and it is a Wednesday and I'm sitting across from Quentin Bailey and they've been ordered to be quiet. But you know you want to say something, don't you? It's been a while since you've been on the show come over. Bailey just turned eight, Quinn is like nine and a half now and she loves talking to the microphone. So, all right, how you do it, Quinn? Good. Um, it has been a while. Why have you never let me on? Well, I usually do it after you go to bed, so that's why. Is there something you've been waiting to comment on?

1:00Since you were last on Taylor Swift got married, that's big news in your world. What do you think of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey? Uh, I think they're good together. And it's always good to get the first marriage out of the way for her. It took her a long time, so this one would be like the first marriage you get done in like two years and then get on to somebody really good, right? I don't want them to divorce, but I don't know what they're going to do. All right. Do you think she's going to have kids? Probably. She said she wants them. Okay. I think she can probably afford to pay somebody to raise them too, so it'll work out. Anything else you want to comment on because I got to get going. I do like her new four songs, so I like. Wait, wait, wait, wait. When they came out, you sort of liked two of them, but you weren't a big fan of any of them. Now you like them all? Not all of them. There's four. You just said you like her four songs. Well, I do like them, but I don't, it doesn't mean I don't eat them.

2:01I kind of like them, but like the others too, I like more. What is your favorite Taylor Schusson? Uh, maybe style, um, any reputation song. All right. I don't know what that means. I don't speak drive, but anything else gives you. I got to go, all right, go, go ahead. There you go. She's staring at me wanting to get on. Bailey couldn't give a damn. She's over there doing God knows what. Anyway, I want to talk today about the insanity and just to, I'm fairly certain that to be a committed leftist today, you have to have suffered brain damage at some point in your prefrontal lobe in your teen or preteen years. And I've got many clips to point it out. I want to start off with one because he's now, you know, he was one of the intellectual

3:02lefties who was, all right, but we're Bailey. Do you have something to say? Oh, no, I can't watch a video right now. Okay. There you go. The birthday girls think she can do anything she wants. All right. So I want to start with Mark Ruffalo. Mark Ruffalo became a darling because he was over the weekend because he was at that anti-Trump rally and he was screaming and yelling. Well, somebody resurfaced footage from the note, one of the no Kings rallies last year. And you, as he is presented as a pillar in the intellectual left and somebody whose opinion should be listened to respected, followed on things like Israel, I want to show you just how he's the reason the word retarded has made a comeback.

4:07It's because there's no better word for it. I don't mean it as an insult. Nobody means it as an insult. But listen to, if this is one of the intellectual leaders of the Hollywood left, he's got a child's understanding of how our government works. As we see our democracies in real trouble, we see a president who has made himself a king and dictator. This president does not care about any of our founding fathers' principles. One of the reasons we separated the military from the executive branch was because we were leaving countries where dictators were using the military against the people. We're seeing an already happening in California. It is sending a message to the American people that the Constitution means nothing and it's spitting, literally spitting on our military members and the history of this country which

5:07has been to fight fascism and dictatorship throughout the world. I love that. This was terrible. The reason we separated the military from the executive branch, I missed a memo. I missed a memo because it's my understanding that the military is a part of the executive branch. Are there four branches of government, five branches of government? If you can listen to the media and then six branches of government, are you listening to Hollywood leftists? What in the hell? What plan? We left countries. You mean the revolution? We didn't have a revolution against multiple countries who were run by dictators. They're called kings. We had one and that's what we did. That's kind of, you know, maybe you should look it up. We're at the 250th anniversary of this mark. You might want to look that one up.

6:08It is so beyond stupid as to sit there. You almost have to go this can't be real. It really truly is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. I've heard lots of things. I've heard a lot of things from Mark Ruffalo. But you sit there and you go, does he? Does he think that now the person who works for MS now who is interviewing him did they know? Does anybody in the control room know? It doesn't seem like anybody on the left has any understanding. So let me get this straight. Because nobody correct him is in Mark Ruffalo's world, which flies on the left. We removed the defense department from the executive branch and didn't I don't know who it reports to now. Maybe it's its own floating entity. And because we learned the lesson by rebelling against multiple fascistic dictators in 1776.

7:16I mean, it's so damn stupid. I don't even know where to begin. And you sit there and you go, this person can't be real. This person can't be, this person is very real. All of these are very real. Now I want to go to an elected Democrat, albeit a very small elected Democrat is the mayor of St. Louis Park, Minnesota, Nadia Mohammed, a Democrat. Guess where she's from? Up in Minnesota, she's from Somalia. She's Somalia. There was a shooting. There's a problem with Somali gangs, shockingly enough. You can take the people out of the third world, but you can't take the third world out of the culture. And with no assimilation, there's just no. No point not killing people, I guess. Well, Nadia Mohammed, fully covered head, has a genius idea. Just get rid of all the guns. Without making all about Somalis and how Somali gangs and Somalis is and Somali that.

8:18Again, crimes, crimes, crimes, crimes, crime. But the rhetoric that you are pushing at best is irresponsible, at worst is dangerous. You may be wondering, hey mayor, how can we solve for this then? How can we have conversations that are effective that can actually get something done? And the answer is easy, banned guns. How are these 14-year-old, 16-year-old, 16-year-old, getting access to guns? Like we are reeling year after year, year after year, month after month, shooting after shooting, shooting after shooting. It is not good enough to point fingers anymore. To pick on a community that's already reeling from previous rhetoric, anti-Somali rhetoric, is low-hanging fruit. I love this stupidity of this woman. How are the 14-year-old, 16-year-old, 16-year-old, getting access to guns? Might I suggest shitty parents and bad government in a poor education system and a community that is much more interested in maintaining the third world pit mentality that people

9:21fled than they are in becoming part of an American culture because, well, American suck right, am I right? Of course, America is a racist country. You've got to celebrate multiculturalism. Okay, well, actually, if you know anything about the history of Somali culture, especially in recent years, this seems to me to be, you know, I don't know a celebration of that. Don't you think? Don't you think? So stupid. Now, we come to Randy Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, who doesn't give a single pile of post-digested food particles about children or even the quality of education. Her job is to represent teachers to blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, get them more money so that she can collect more money and do more favors for Democrats while receiving more than a half a million dollars in annual salary. God knows how many other benefits she gets. She's spending her time not fighting tirelessly for teachers or even giving any business

10:26about teachers. She's fighting for illegal aliens. This is one of the most despicable things that our current government does. They put people. People have not committed any crimes. They are immigrants. They deport them or they put them, they detain them and deport them in conditions that are unimaginable. And we saw families coming out here who have just visited their loved ones. These immigrants want what micro-emperands wanted when they came to America, a better life. They work hard. They play by the rules. They should not be detained or deported because we have a broken immigration system. We should fix the immigration system, but the cruelty of this government right now is terrible. We have been broken in immigration system. We do. It allows people to just walk into the country, allows people to overstay a visa with very little consequence.

11:26Now there's some consequence. These people should be putting a burlap sack and thrown into the Pacific or the Atlantic their choice. Put on a Styrofoam boat and allowed to just drift off to wherever they go. Get them out of the country. But if you are a dues paying AFT member in this country, do you believe you're getting you're almost $600,000 in annual salary worth out of Randy Weingarten if she's traveling the countryside, whining and complaining about the deportation of illegal aliens? Notice she didn't make any differentiation between criminals and non-criminal illegal aliens because she doesn't give a shit. She doesn't care about children. She doesn't have any. She is a dried up bag of progressive ideas and that's all she'll ever be. Oh, she's a stepbob to her wife's kids over there. She's going to die alone. If her wife dies before her, the kids are never going to come around and see Mama Ranty.

12:31They're just not who gives a damn. And if she goes first, nobody's going to care. What an awful person. What a horrible person. And you sit there and you go, well, the education system is going to hell. Why do you think that might be? Because on the other side of the children and families sits somebody as disgusting as Randy Weingarten. Let's go up to Michigan and talk a little bit about the Senate race up there. Thomas now did a focus group. And in this first one, of course, because Democrats love segregation, they talked to Jewish voters from Oakland County, which was just north of where I grew up. And then black voters from Wayne County, which is where I grew up, because as George Wallace said, segregation forever. And this is the Jewish voters who have a bit of a problem with their Senate nominee being

13:32a rabid anti-American anti-Semite piece of crap. I want so badly to believe that. She was in between two fundamental principles of yourself. And you got a pick one. You can't not vote. You got a pick one. And which one to pick? Whose ox is gold? I guess that's the best way it plays. If El Sayy did not have the Israel in fact. I have a transgender daughter who is 30. And I'm Jewish and Israel is incredibly important to me. But vote from like Rogers is a vote for my kid being oppressed. Correct. And her right to be taken away. It's like so, these choice. It's very nice. Quite honestly, I love some of the things he's talked about. I think it's a little idealistic and a little extreme. And I'm a little concerned. But my big block is I just comes down to this whole thing with Israel. And I do worry about everything. But I have daughters. I cannot do this. On one hand, I'm like, OK, well, the choice is clear. Then all of a sudden it's like, I can't vote for that. That's doable because once again, he's going to get something that's innately neat.

14:36The way I feel today, I just want to pick either. I mean, I'll go and vote because I think it's so important. You're committed Democrats. Absolutely. You want to vote. We do. We do. Democratic candidate. I do. But you just can't. They're tying our hands. What could he, yes, and like, what could he do if anything to get you over the edge? But it doesn't sound like there's really anything. The damage has already been done. It just would love for him to make a definitive statement. Like just say, I would like everyone to know I support Israel. I support the Jewish people. They're right to exist without hatred. Right. Would you believe it? I don't know. How could we? Do you think that this could be a break for you and your support with the Democratic Party? It would be. Absolutely. I think the party wasn't where it is right now. Right. I think this election, if Israel was on the ballot, you'd probably have the highest percentage of straight ticket Democratic votes in the state. Oh my gosh, yeah.

15:37I couldn't wait to vote. The Democrats are just, they're probably at the, at the gums to vote anything antitrome. My daughter goes to University of Detroit, Mercy. She's in her second year of law school and she has to hide being Jewish. And it's a hard thing to say when October 7th came horrible for her. Lots of tears. I may go to my grudgers. Sorry guys. You should not apologize. No, you should not apologize. You deserve to vote and be comfortable. Turns out, Muhammad Hitler is not doing very well with the Jews. They're trying to, I have a 30 year old transgender daughter. I don't make my, my, my daughter illegal, a stir vote for her oppression. Um, no, it'll end her WNBA career. That'll be about it. But nobody really gives it down about this.

16:38It's where they're forcing their beliefs on everybody else and demanding acquiescence where they lose support. Realize it's a foreign concept to a leftist because this is where they live. Next comes the black voters. Now this is different. They even admit, well, the Democrats take us for granted, but we're still going to vote probably. But I think there's some missed opportunities for him to help us know who he is. Help us understand him. We don't know him. And I think he's taking advantage of the big black people, our democratic, and he's going to vote for him anyway. And I'm like, no, sir, like uncommitted down on that, that was terrible. And move on. If you go into Congress to represent me, I need you to talk about what's going on in this community. What would take you over the finish line? What would change your opinion between now and election day? I don't know what I'm going to do.

17:41What is holding you back though about him? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm going to vote for him. Because I think there's power in being aligned because if I don't, it may make a difference. And he may not get in. And I can't live with myself with that because it's going to make a difference. I think the Wayne County Democrats, I think they will come along. And I think that President Obama coming and campaigning with Abdul Al-Sahed is going to be huge. And I do think at the end of the day that group of voters, they're still persuadable. And they just need to be introduced. They just need to be introduced. They're still persuadable. Nope, they're going to have Barack Obama on the campaign stage. I love the Wayne County voters. They're all black. It's a black focus group. That's what it was. There's a black focus group and a Jewish focus group. Two groups that Al-Sahed is having difficulty getting. The voters there was no Muslim or Arab focus group.

18:41There even though Wayne County is a very heavy concentration of that voting blocs too. But they didn't bother focusing on them because he's going to pull all the votes out of those because identity politics. They're trying to get everybody in line. They're trying desperately to pressure Jewish voters to go, all right, well, we'll vote for the guy. We'll vote for him. We'll vote for our own destruction. And then we'll just assume or hope or work toward making sure he doesn't try to destroy us. And black vote, look, there's a lot of racial tension in Democrat world. They create this tribalism and they tell you, look out for your own. And that's where you hear my people and this people, my people, your people, blah, blah, blah. And you've got Arabic party store owners and black customers. And that doesn't work out well, especially in majority black neighborhoods where the party store owners live quite nicely in the suburbs and they operate their businesses

19:48in poor black neighborhoods in the city. There's a lot of resentment. Abdul, isn't going to talk about that. Abdul can't talk about that. It would be problematic for Abdul to talk about it. The guy can't even denounce the Muslim brotherhood as a terrorist organization. He's certainly not going to attack his voting base for their racism. But black voters feel it. Black voters see it. Black voters experience it. I would say that black Detroiters on a weekly basis have more interactions or more frequent interactions with Arab store owners than they do evil oppressive whitey. That's not gone unnoticed by people. So it'll be interesting to see how this works out. But it is one of those things as you sit there and you go, all right, well, let's see how this goes.

20:48Can Democrats and the Democrat establishment push all these constituents back in line, back in the box? You heard the lady, they taken our vote for granted. And then later, I'll probably vote for them. Oh, all right. Well, maybe you can see what somebody might take your vote for granted. You ever think that? Probably not. Speaking of Abdul, it's got a dangerous level of ignorance to him about his health care. Now he's a doctor. Dr. Syed, every leftist journalist calls him Dr. Syed. Normal people call him Abdul because they recognize that he doesn't practice medicine and never actually has. Anyway, here he is on with Martha McCallum, who, boy, if she'd just gone two steps further and gotten an education for herself on the subject matter, it could have been a really interesting interview. To some extent. But with regard to health care, you've talked about, I know you've been asked a lot about

21:51the money that it will take to do a single payer government run health care system. And I know there's a private, a big private component of that as well. But what I'm more concerned about is the declining care because you look at other places like the UK, like some places in Europe, including Poland. What you end up getting is people waiting so long. And then they call you and say, oh, well, your surgery is going to be on Tuesday. Whether you can be there or not. One of the statistics that really caught my eye in the UK in 2023, more than half the people who died in England in that year were on the NHS waiting list and they couldn't get any care. So why would that be a better system for us? Well, number one, I'm not advocating for the same system as the NHS. Number two, we are the richest, most powerful country in the world. The idea that we're going to point to another country who does something poorly and say, we can't possibly do it better is ridiculous because we're the greatest country in the world. But then the second point I'll make here is that, do you know what the average weight time for a cardiologist in America is? Tell me. Two and a half months.

22:52Number two tells you you should see a cardiologist in two and a half months. Two and a half weeks, maybe. Two and a half days better. Two and a half hours, that's the best. But a lot of other countries, they don't wait as long to see a cardiologist. So the idea that somehow, because you point to another country and say, well, they failed on this particular statistic that we're not also failing as a problem. But here's the difference. We pay 19 cents on the dollar for every dollar spent in our entire economy on healthcare. For the amount of money that we pay in healthcare, you would think that we would not have to wait at all. The average premium is putting people in a lot of harm's way. Then there's the deductible, $4,500 on average, to get the healthcare that you already paid for every single month in the richest, most powerful country in the world. The idea that we can do better to me is kind of insane. I think a lot of people think that we can do better. I think the question is about how to get there and I understand, you know, the program that you're putting forward. And we'll see if Michigan voters are, you know, want to go down that road. Yeah, Martha doesn't understand what she's asking you. It's shame because five minutes searching could tell you that the average wait time for

23:56a non-urgent cardiology appointment, which is not what Abdul is trying to imply in the United States is 32 days, a non-urgent. Well, you should get into cardiologists. We should just run some tests on your. But there's something wrong. You can get into that situation much, much more quickly, but it's 32 days in the United States. In Canada, it's between four and 19 weeks for the same non-urgent meeting with a cardiologist in the UK. It is also, it's four to 12 plus weeks. Now, we can do, but of course, we can do better. Why based on what? He doesn't say because he wasn't asked because Martha doesn't know the truth. If you're looking for urgent situations in an emergency, you can either see a cardiologist if you happen to be at a hospital immediately or as long as it takes to get one in there

24:57up to about 24 hours. Yeah, outpatient, urgent outpatient referrals range between one to seven days. And pretty, pretty quickly. In Canada, it depends. An outpatient referral can take two to four weeks in an urgent situation, two to four weeks in the UK to weeks. Now, in the UK, a private alternative, if you happen to be wealthy, like Abdulaz, you can see a cardiologist in seven days. It's still not immediate or within 24 hours, but better. I don't know whether we're going to do better than the UK. OK, based on what? And what's that going to look like? How are you going to do it? You're going to disincentivize everybody in the medical profession from really busting their hump because you are going to make them de facto government employees since the federal government will be the only payer for their services. And you will have enormous absolute real power over them to either dictate the price or

26:02dictate that they not work for a living. That's horrible. How many doctors do you think would retire almost immediately? Those cardiologist numbers would grow up, go up dramatically as doctors who could afford to retire would get out because they don't want to serve a master in the government and do so at a cut rate. The whole thing is a disgrace. It's a missed opportunity. So many people on the right don't bother to educate themselves. Don't even bother to do basic Google searches before sitting down with it. I've never been impressed by Martha McCallum. She is potential that remains unfilled. Jesse Waters kind of the same thing. His was more of a bro interview. So as we get inside a month, Abdul has really not sat down for any kind of serious interview

27:06except for one with bread pair. I give credit for going on Fox. There's always the possibility that somebody would ask him a tough question and I'm not saying the questions they've scripted aren't relevant questions. The problem is you never get it real answer. You never get a good answer. You never get a satisfactory answer to the first question. You have to listen to their answer. Know the issue to the point that you can then ask a relevant follow up question. That's where Martha McCallum failed. And her staff, there should have been a bunch of people on staff whispering in her ear, doing research in real time as to what he said and whispering in her ear, say, hey, that's not true about the wait times. Hey, there's actually a big difference between the US and there, but they didn't, they moved on. They let him whine about Mike Rogers, bring it line with big pharma.

28:08Well, you know what pharmaceuticals do? They keep people alive. They do. If you don't think that's worth money, Abdul, then I sure shit don't want you anywhere near the entire healthcare system. And you shouldn't either. That's enough for today. It's Wednesday. Have a good one. It's actually going to be really nice around here for us to be. So hopefully it's nice where you are. I'll speak to you tomorrow.
