dailycaller.com/2019/06/27/biden-democratic-debate/A spokeswoman with former Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that he will be too tired after the presidential debate to address the press. “He’s going to have spent two hours answering questions on stage, and he talks to the press wherever he goes,” Kate Bedingfield, a communications director for Biden, told CNN’s Anderson Cooper before the debate. “I think there is no question the American people know where Joe Biden stands on issues.” Biden, who announced his bid for the White House in April, said Thursday before the debate that he planned to “Hug ’em!” if debate opponents went on the offensive as reporters peppered him with questions after his debate walkthrough Wednesday afternoon, reported WPLG Local 10’s Glenna Milberg. (RELATED: Biden Jokes About Hugging Debate Opponents Who Attack Him) His joke about hugging his rivals may not be well-received after several women stepped forward in spring 2019 describing experiences with Biden that left them feeling uncomfortable. The women came forward after former Democratic Nevada Assemblywoman Lucy Flores accused Biden of sniffing her hair and kissing the back of her head without her consent in 2014. He was campaigning for her at the time.

Sanders opened up the debate with a question on taxes, which he first answered by talking about Medicare. After his answer, the moderator asked him again to answer the question about taxes. He admitted that under his presidency, the middle class would pay more in taxes. system, by the way, vast majority of the people in this country would be paying significantly less for health care than they are right now,” Sanders said at first. “I believe that education is the future for this country.” When the moderator asked him to answer “the very direct question,” Sanders conceded. “Yes, they will pay more in taxes and less in health care for what they get,” Sanders said Thursday night. Sanders has run a campaign based on Democratic socialism, and has said that there would be “Medicare-for-all” for illegal immigrants.

dailycaller.com/2019/06/27/bernie-sanders-medicare-for-all/Low-polling presidential candidate Michael Bennet reminded Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders that the socialist’s own state rejected the idea of single-payer health care at the second Democratic debate Thursday. “Healthcare is a right. We need to get to universal healthcare. I believe the way to do that is by finishing the work we started with Obamacare and creating a public option. … I believe we will get there much more quickly if we do that,” Bennet said. “Bernie mentioned the taxes that we would have to pay, because of those taxes, Vermont rejected Medicare for all.” Bennet was referencing the 2014 failure of Vermont to implement the single-payer health care system. The switch initially seemed like a go but failed after Democratic Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin, who backed the change, said it would cost too much and “might hurt our economy.” Sanders’s Medicare for all proposal is a single-payer system. (RELATED: Biden Jokes About Hugging Debate Opponents Who Attack Him) Bennet, a Democratic senator from Colorado, entered the race in May. He made health care a big part of his presidential platform, but he is not a supporter of Medicare for all like many of his Democratic rivals. Bennet re-introduced his legislation that would create “Medicare-X,” a public option that does not eliminate private health insurance. Bennet barely made it onto the debate stage after polling at least one percent in three separate polls. He polled at one percent in the early June poll that earned him his slot, reported Politico. There are currently two Medicare for all proposals introduced in Congress: a Senate proposal linked to Sanders and a House proposal introduced by Democratic Reps. Pramila Jayapal of Washington and Debbie Dingell of Michigan.

dailycaller.com/2019/06/27/sorry-yang-ubi-2020-debates/2020 presidential candidate Andrew Yang paused for a moment when asked how he would afford giving every U.S. citizen over 18 years old $1,000 a month Thursday during the second Democratic debate night. Yang, an entrepreneur, is campaigning on his popular universal basic income (UBI) policy that would give every adult American an allowance of $1,000 a month, which he calls “the Freedom Dividend.” (RELATED: Meet 2020 Candidate Andrew Yang And His Top 5 Campaign Points) “Andrew Yang, your signature policy is to give every adult in the United States $1,000 a month. I think that’s, like, $3.2 trillion a year. How would you do that?” moderator and NBC anchor José Diaz-Balart asked. “I’m sorry?” Yang responded. “How would you do that?” Diaz-Balart repeated. Yang explained how a value-added tax on billion-dollar companies like Amazon would generate “over $800 billion in revenue,” which, on top of the money the United States already generated, would create a “trickle-up economy.” (RELATED: Andrew Yang Promises $12,000 To One Lucky Twitter User Who Follows Him By July 4) “Oh, so, it’s difficult to do if you have companies like Amazon — trillion-dollar tech companies — paying literally $0 in taxes while they’re closing 30% of our stores,” Yang started, earning some applause. “Now, we need to put the American people in a position to benefit from all these innovations and other parts of the economy, and if we had a value-added tax of half the European level, we would generate over $800 billion in new revenue, which, combined with the money in our hands, would be the trickle-up economy from our people, families and communities up.” He went on to say that just having a mentally stronger community would “increase GDP by $700 billion.”

Kamala Harris scolded her primary challengers on Thursday after candidates on the Democratic presidential debate stage began shouting over each other. “Hey guys, you know what, America does not want to witness a food fight,” Harris said to her opponents. “They want to know how we’re going to put food on their table.” Harris’s response was triggered after the moderator called on the California senator to answer a question about generational change, yet the stage erupted in commotion as her nine challengers preventing Harris from speaking.

My great economy, my great economy. Yes, well how are you measuring the greatness of this economy of yours?” “He talks about the stock market — well that’s fine if you own stock. So many families in America do not,” she continued. “You ask [Trump] how you’re measuring the greatness of this economy of yours and they point to the jobless numbers and the unemployment numbers — people in America are working, they’re working two and three jobs. “When we talk about jobs, let’s be really clear,” Harris added. “In our America, no one should have to work more than one job to have a roof over their head and food on the table.”

dailycaller.com/2019/06/27/gillibrand-trump-border-policy/Democratic New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand critiqued the Trump administration’s border policy Thursday at the Democratic presidential debates, despite the fact that former President Barack Obama employed the same policy. The New York senator came out swinging against President Donald Trump, accusing him of tearing apart the moral fabric of who Americans are through his former child separation policy. “One of the worst things about President Trump that he’s done to this country,” Gillibrand said, “is he’s torn apart the moral fabric of who we are when he started separating children at the border from their parents. The fact is that seven children have died in his custody.” separated from their parents and they have no plan to reunite them,” promising a variety of solutions to rectify the border situation. She then returned to her critique of the president. “But the worst thing President Trump has done, he seems to have averted the funds away from cross-border terrorism, cross-border human-trafficking, drug-trafficking and gun-trafficking and he’s given that money to the for-profit prisons,” Gillibrand said. “I would not be spending money in for-profit prisons to lock up children and asylum seekers,” the New York senator finished. Gillibrand’s criticism of Trump’s border policies are not totally different from former President Barack Obama’s border policies, who warned immigrants in a 2014 interview not to send their children across the border or these children might get sent back. Former President Bill Clinton also instituted similar policies.

And, the Chief Justice decided to betray common sense and law abiding Americans by siding with the liberals on the Census question: www.huffpost.com/entry/supreme-court-census-citizenship-question_n_5cfac4b8e4b0aab91c060021The Supreme Court has effectively blocked the Trump administration from adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census, giving a partial victory to states and civil rights groups who said the question would jeopardize what is perhaps the most crucial information the U.S. government collects. The case, Department of Commerce v. New York, arose after a number of states, cities and advocacy groups sued the Trump administration and claimed the process the administration used to add the citizenship question ran afoul of federal law. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who oversees the census, was set on adding the question and ignored clear evidence that showed it was a bad idea. U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman agreed with the plaintiffs in January, ruling the Trump administration had violated the Administrative Procedure Act and thus could not add the question. Two other judges later also struck down the citizenship question. He's been such a disappointment.

dailycaller.com/2019/06/27/biden-wall-street-debates/Former Vice President Joe Biden attacked Wall Street on Thursday at the Democratic presidential debates only a week after promising wealthy donors “nothing would fundamentally change.” The former vice president critiqued President Donald Trump and promised that as president, he would make massive tax cuts. “Donald Trump thinks Wall Street built America,” Biden said. “Ordinary middle-class Americans built America.” (RELATED: Gillibrand Lashes Out Against Trump Admin For Abortion Restrictions: ‘Women’s Reproductive Rights Are Under Assault’) “Too many people who are in the middle class and poor have had the bottom fall out under this proposal,” Biden continued. “What I’m saying is we gotta be straightforward. We have to understand to return dignity to the middle class there has to be insurance that is covered and they can afford it.” Look, Donald Trump has put us in a horrible situation,” he said. “We do have enormous income inequality. The one thing I agree on is we can make massive cuts in the $1.6 trillion of tax loopholes out there, I would be going about eliminating Donald Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy. ” This comes after Biden said June 19 that nothing would fundamentally change for his wealthy donors if he became president. (RELATED: Biden Tells Group Of Rich Donors ‘Nothing Would Fundamentally Change’ For Them If He Became President) “Remember I got in trouble with some of the people on my team, on the Democratic side,” Biden said, according to The Hill. “Because I said, ‘You know what I’ve found is rich people are just as patriotic as poor people.’ Not a joke. I mean, we may not want to demonize anybody who has made money.”

dailycaller.com/2019/06/27/biden-obama-illegal-deportation/Former Vice President Joe Biden said former President Barack Obama did a great job with immigration in response to a question about 3 million illegal immigrants being deported under his administration. Biden said Obama “did a heckuva job” Thursday during his presidency on illegal immigration, adding that this was a contrast to President Donald Trump’s results regarding deportation. A moderator then asked Biden if he thinks people without documents should be deported. Biden said they should only be deported if “they committed a major crime.” If a person’s only fault is that he or she is in America without documents, they shouldn’t be the focus. “President Obama, I think, did a heckuva job,” Biden said. “To compare him to what this guy’s doing [Trump] is absolutely … immoral. We should not be locking people up … Those who come seeking asylum, we should immediately have the capacity to absorb them, keep them safe until they can be heard.” “That person [without documents] should not be the focus of deportation,” Biden continued. Illegal immigration has been a hot topic throughout the Democratic debates. Many Democrats have said Trump is not doing the right thing when dealing with illegal immigrants, and have come up with various plans on how to deal with immigrants if each were to become president. Biden in particular has been vocal against Trump’s policies regarding undocumented immigrants, calling them “a wrecking ball to our hemispheric ties.”

The fact is that we should not be locking people up. We should be make sure we change the circumstance, as we did, why they would leave in the first place. Those who come seeking asylum, we should immediately have the capacity to absorb them, keep them safe until they can be heard.” Biden and the candidates heshared the stage with criticized Trump for the immigration crisis, but instances of migrant family separation, tear gassing of migrants and caging of migrant children were documented during the Obama administration. “The first thing I would do is unite families that surge immediately. Billions of dollars worth of help to the region immediately,” Biden said Thursday evening. “Look, I talk about foreign policy. I’m the guy that got a bipartisan agreement at the very end of the campaign and the very end of our term to spend $740 million to deal with the problem and that was to go to the root cause of why people are leaving in the first place. It was working.” (RELATED: Biden Jokes About Hugging Debate Opponents Who Attack Him) Biden was slightly slippery when moderator José Díaz-Balart asked him if a person “who is here without documents and that is his only offense” should be deported. “That person should not be the focus of deportation.

He made his points after every single candidate on stage Thursday said illegal immigrants should get government health insurance.

www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/06/27/fact-check-u-s-taxpayers-pay-18-5b-a-year-for-healthcare-for-illegal-aliens/As 2020 Democrat presidential primary candidates advocate having American taxpayers provide free health care for illegal aliens, U.S. citizens are already paying billions every year for the expenditure. During the second night of debates for the 2020 Democrat presidential primary candidates, every Democrat — including Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, and Pete Buttigieg — said they supported having American taxpayers pay for free health care for all 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the country. The latest research by Chris Conover from the Center for Health Policy and Inequalities Research at Duke University reveals that every year, American taxpayers pay nearly $20 billion for healthcare for illegal aliens.Conover wrote the analysis in Forbes: www.forbes.com/sites/theapothecary/2018/02/26/how-american-citizens-finance-health-care-for-undocumented-immigrants/#71f72f2c12c4 Current federal policy is to prohibit federal tax funding of health care to unauthorized immigrants through either Medicaid or Obamacare. Nevertheless, rough estimates suggest that the nation’s 3.9 million uninsured immigrants who are unauthorized likely receive about $4.6 billion in health services paid for by federal taxes, $2.8 billion in health services financed by state and local taxpayers, another $3.0 bankrolled through “cost-shifting” i.e., higher payments by insured patients to cover hospital uncompensated care losses, and roughly $1.5 billion in physician charity care. [Emphasis added]
In addition to these amounts, unauthorized immigrants likely benefit from at least $0.9 billion in implicit federal subsidies due to the tax exemption for nonprofit hospitals and another $5.7 billion in tax expenditures from the employer tax exclusion. [Emphasis added]All told, Americans cross-subsidize health care for unauthorized immigrants to the tune of $18.5 billion a year. Of this total, federal taxpayers provided $11.2 billion in subsidized care to unauthorized immigrants in 2016. [Emphasis added] Analysis conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) finds that American taxpayers are forced to federally subsidize about $17.14 billion every year in free medical coverage for illegal aliens and about $12.17 billion in state medical costs for illegal aliens. On the federal level, Americans pay about $1.2 billion for illegal alien births through Medicaid, about $3.4 billion for annual Medicaid fraud by illegal aliens, and about $4.2 billion for Medicaid births by the U.S-born children of illegal aliens. Every year, Americans are forced to pay about $116 billion in total expenses for the millions of illegal aliens living in the U.S.

room in Miami, Matthews asked her about the story of her childhood — and how she doesn’t hate white people.
“I have a great deal of respect for Joe Biden,” Harris told MSNBC. “I do not believe he’s a racist but his perspective on those [segregationist] senators was something that was hurtful and it had consequences.”
“How did you come out of that and not have hatred towards white people, generally?” Matthews asked.
“Most Americans do not conduct themselves that way, and most parents don’t conduct themselves that way,” Harris responded. “So there was no need to create a broad application because of that one experience, but we cannot deny that there are many children, black children in America who have had that experience.”

“The Democratic National Committee blocked journalists from interviewing candidates’ supporters outside of their debates in Miami, according to a report from Jordan Chariton from Status Coup. Chariton, a progressive journalist, filmed a video outside the debate showing the elaborate fencing used to keep press from being able to speak to the people who had gathered to support various candidates, including many for Andrew Yang.
“They’ve basically wrapped walls around the people so that journalists can’t actually go and interview them,” Chariton said.
The complex fencing situation is similar to that used outside the Democratic National Convention during the 2016 election that made it extremely difficult for the press to get out and report on leftist protests against Hillary Clinton that were taking place. Those who wanted to get to the protest had to make a 20-25 minute voyage to get around to the protests that were just outside the gates.
Chariton accused the DNC of wanting to use the supporters as props, but prevent the media from speaking to them.
“I’ve never seen anything like this in all of the debates I covered in 2016,” Chariton said. He also noted that the orders to fence people off came from the DNC directly — not NBC.
The progressive outlet, which is frequently critical of the DNC and establishment Democrats was also denied press credentials for the event.

Joe Biden goes into damage control:
Biden said responding to Kamala Harris. “We all know that 30 seconds to 60 seconds on a campaign debate exchange can’t do justice to a lifetime committed to civil rights.”
“I want to be absolutely clear about my record and position on racial justice, including busing — I never ever opposed voluntary busing,” Biden said trying to put the fire out.
This is classic. An old white guy is begging to be liked by the party that hates old white guys.

dailycaller.com/2019/06/29/democrats-harris-warren-tech/Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren suggested Saturday that tech companies have an obligation to ding tweets and other social media posts that call into question one of her presidential opponent’s American lineage. “The attacks against @kamalaharris are racist and ugly. We all have an obligation to speak out and say so. And it’s within the power and obligation of tech companies to stop these vile lies dead in their tracks,” Warren said in a tweet, following a post Donald Trump Jr. retweeted that asked if Sen. Kamala Harris is an “American black.” ................. Tweets questioning Harris’s background started Thursday when black conservative Ali Alexander told his Twitter followers: “Kamala Harris is *not* an American Black. She is half Indian and half Jamaican.” Trump Jr. asked if the claim was accurate in a retweet, which was later deleted. A spokesman for Trump Jr. told reporters he retweeted the post because he did not know Harris has Indian lineage. (RELATED: Elizabeth Warren Announces Plans To Break Up Facebook And Other Big Tech Firms) Harris’s team denounced the comment. “This is the same type of racist attacks his father used to attack Barack Obama. It didn’t work then and it won’t work now,” a representative for the California Democrat said. Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, for her part is staking much of her campaign on throttling big tech companies, many of whom she argues act as monopolistic giants. She proposed in March breaking up companies like Facebook and Amazon. Warren is among 25 Democrats running for president in 2020. Twitter did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

dailycaller.com/2019/06/30/cnn-panel-debate-recap-wild/A CNN panel recapping the first Democratic debates turned into a free-for-all during a segment of Sunday morning’s “State of the Union.” After lobbyist David Urban suggested that both debates this past week had showcased the Democratic candidates attempting to “out-left each other,” the other panelists jumped in, talking over each other and accusing him of bringing up “crazy right-wing talking points.” “So as long as we saw the same tone and tenor in that debate where everybody is trying to out-left each other, and you heard Mike Shields on today saying that most of middle America, they listen to stuff and they’re rolling their eyes going, ‘what are you peopling talking about?'” Urban began. “Like, this Democratic field cannot get further to the left of one another. And as long as that occurs, there is nobody up there that will beat Donald Trump, I promise you that. I promise you that. I promise you.” Jess McIntosh was the first to challenge Urban, arguing that he was painting policies as “super-lefty” when she felt that they were more mainstream than he was admitting. “This erroneous idea that the policies are being perceived or portrayed are super lefty are enjoying widespread …” she said. (RELATED: Here Are The 11 Standout Moments From The Second Democratic Debate In Miami) “Stop! This is a network that believes in facts,” Urban continued, after pointing out that several Democratic candidates had advocated for the end of all private insurance. “Let’s get rid of ICE and have open borders …” McIntosh was joined in protest by CNN’s Bakari Sellers, who argued that no one was trying to ban supplemental insurance and referred to the idea of open borders as a “crazy right-wing talking point.”
